The best possible outcome for every patient is the aim of the specialist orthopaedic team at AIR Medicine, based in Cairns, and assisting patients throughout North Queensland and the Pacific Rim. Founded in 2007, AIR Medicine combines several specialists under the one roof: orthopaedic surgeon Dr Sarah Coll, Advanced Orthopaedic Casts and AIR Physiotherapy. As the name suggests, these experienced professionals join forces to achieve Advanced Injury Recovery (AIR) for every patient. By working together on a patient’s treatment and recovery – and exploring all options rather than surgery alone - the AIR Medicine team can get patients back to work or play more quickly yet still safely. While some new patients ultimately require surgery, the team will also explore other less invasive options first. AIR Medicine’s traditional Queenslander premises opposite Cairns Private Hospital is far removed from the usual sterile medical environment, instead offering a warm, homely feeling with a focus on genuine patient care and personal attention.
