Question 1

Who are the best surgeons in Wollongong?

Accepted Answer

As of October 2026, the 3 highest-ranked surgeons in Wollongong, NSW on the Starworks directory are Dr Matthew Starr - Plastic Surgeon (5.0 stars from 72 Google reviews), Joint Vision Orthopaedic Group (4.9 stars from 145 Google reviews) and Five Islands Orthopaedics (5.0 stars from 9 Google reviews). Every figure here is computed from Google review data that Starworks collects for surgeons in Wollongong, NSW, recalculated when this page rebuilds. Placement on this list cannot be bought.

Question 2

How many surgeons does Starworks rank in Wollongong?

Accepted Answer

Starworks ranks 14 surgeons in Wollongong, NSW, holding 310 Google reviews between them. Across the 14 the median rating is 5.0 stars from a median of 9 reviews. Of the 14, 12 are rated 4.5 or better and 1 has passed 100 reviews. The most-reviewed carries 145 reviews, more than the top-ranked surgeon holds, which is why rating alone does not set the order.

Question 3

What star rating should I expect from a good surgeon in Wollongong?

Accepted Answer

The median Google rating across the 14 surgeons Starworks ranks in Wollongong, NSW is 5.0 stars, and 12 of them sit at 4.5 or above. A rating at or near that median is ordinary for surgeons in Wollongong, NSW rather than a warning sign on its own, and a rating well above it only means much when enough reviews stand behind it.

Question 4

How many Google reviews does an established surgeon in Wollongong have?

Accepted Answer

The median surgeon Starworks ranks in Wollongong, NSW carries 9 Google reviews, and 1 of the 14 surgeons have passed 100. The most-reviewed of them carries 145.

Question 5

How does Starworks rank surgeons in Wollongong?

Accepted Answer

Starworks gives every surgeon in Wollongong, NSW a reputation score out of 100 from three things: its Google star rating (up to 47 points), how many reviews back that rating (up to 35), and whether customers can reach it by website and phone number (up to 18). Review volume is the one part that can subtract: below 15 reviews it costs points, because a near-empty review record gives a stranger very little to go on. No score falls below 0 and placement cannot be bought. The score measures the strength of a business's public review record rather than the quality of its work, so it is worth reading the reviews as well, and every listing links to them on Google.

Question 6

Why does a surgeon in Wollongong with all 5-star reviews score lower than one with a lower rating?

Accepted Answer

Because review volume counts as well as rating, and below 15 reviews it counts against you. Five perfect reviews are encouraging but thin evidence; three hundred reviews averaging 4.7 tell a stranger far more about what to expect on the day. That is a judgement about how much proof exists, not about the quality of the work, and a newer surgeon with a handful of excellent reviews may still be the right choice in Wollongong, NSW. The star rating and review count sit next to every score so you can weigh both yourself.

Question 7

Why does the same surgeon not appear several times on this list?

Accepted Answer

Some businesses run more than one Google listing, often one per suburb they service. Those are the same company, so Starworks groups them and shows the business once, using the listing with the strongest review record. That is why this page opens with 14 distinct surgeons in Wollongong, NSW rather than a longer list of repeats.

Question 8

How often is this list of surgeons in Wollongong updated?

Accepted Answer

This ranking of surgeons in Wollongong, NSW rebuilds on a 30-day cycle and prints the date of its last rebuild above the list, which for the current version is October 2026. Ratings and review counts are re-read from Google over time rather than on a fixed schedule, so an individual figure here can be older than the rebuild date.

Question 9

How can I improve my surgeon business ranking in Wollongong?

Accepted Answer

Collect genuine customer reviews consistently, and keep a working website and phone number on your Google listing, because those are the three inputs the score reads. There is no placement to buy on this page. For scale: the median surgeon Starworks ranks in Wollongong, NSW carries 9 Google reviews at 5.0 stars.
