Dr Arash Taheri – Bio
Dr Arash Taheri graduated with a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery with Honours from the University of Tasmania in 2001. He spent the first four years of his training at the Royal Hobart Hospital, where he completed his Internship, Basic Surgical Training and his first year as an unaccredited Orthopaedic Registrar.
Dr Taheri then worked in Melbourne for two years before being selected for and completing his Advanced Surgical Training in Orthopaedic Surgery in Perth, Western Australia, in 2008. He further developed his skills through international fellowship experience in the United States with highly regarded surgeons at the University of Southern California – Keck Medicine. During this time, he spent seven months learning robotic joint replacement techniques, becoming the first Australian Fellow to be fully trained in Stryker MAKO robotic technology.
Since returning to Australia, Dr Taheri has been at the forefront of robotic joint replacement and robotic-assisted surgery. He is now one of the highest-volume MAKO hip and knee robotic arm–assisted joint replacement surgeons in Australia having performed over 3000 surgeries.
He has delivered numerous national and international presentations on robotic joint replacement and enhanced recovery pathways, including performing a Masterclass for the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists Annual Scientific Meeting in Malaysia in 2019.
Dr Taheri values progressive approaches to orthopaedic care and the integration of new technologies that enhance patient outcomes while upholding the highest standards of medical excellence. In 2025, he further expanded his scope of practice by completing advanced training in Cooled Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) for the management of knee and hip pain in osteoarthritis.
Alongside his surgical expertise, Dr Taheri is known for his warm and approachable manner with patients. He takes the time to listen carefully, ensuring each person feels comfortable, informed and supported when discussing their condition and treatment options. His focus is on guiding patients through their journey with clarity and reassurance, helping them feel confident in the decisions made about their care.
He is an active member of the orthopaedic community and was instrumental in establishing the Enhanced Recovery Program (ERP) at Joondalup Health Campus for joint replacement patients. The ERP program has enhanced the patient experience through a collaborative team approach, helping reduce hospital length of stay, improve pain management and support faster recovery following major surgery.
Dr Taheri also currently serving as Chair of the Medical Advisory Committee (MAC) at The Mount Private Hospital.
