  Hi Guys, My name is Richie and I would like to share my experience most recently with my right hip replacement by Dr David Kerr and his amazing team at the St John of God Hospital Mt Lawley Stage 1 - GP Submission, I believe it took less than 2 weeks after my submission via the public submissions by my GP that I received an email from Dr Kerr's Joint Solutions practice to confirm my consultation date. I actually broke down to my wife over the phone. Stage 2 - October Consultation, my initial thought process while sitting in Dr Kerr's practice was that the entire enrolment and waiting time for surgery was going to take a lifetime & like so many of us the cost of living, bills & not having private health full cover absolutely I had my doubts for surgery. Dr Kerr put all that doubt to bed straight away and in the space of 20 minutes we were discussing surgery option's specific to my range of movements and his recommendations and surgery dates as early as December/January. Stage 3 - At Home Set Up, If I'm honest I was a nervous wreck but I knew that Dr Kerr had set me up for a successful recovery with pivotal and detailed hospital and home visits by specialists on how my recovery at home should look like and providing the necessary equipment that allowed me to be confident in the recovery space. This included visual aids like old school comic books easy step by step ways to sit, sleep, shower etc. Please practice the movements before surgery & trust me it makes recovery so much easier meaningful! Stage 4 - Pre Surgery, March 26 2026, the surgery team I found was thorough. I was asked my name date of birth, which Dr and where and what side I was being operated on so many times.... I totally understood the assignment and that reassured myself that Dr Kerr had me in the best possible care! Stage 5 - Hospital Post Surgery, the amount of support and confidence and regular visits from Dr Kerr that my surgery was a success, 24 hour support at hospital, pain treatment, comfort, meals and genuine care for me I am truly grateful. Stage 6 - Recovery, I am proud to say that 8 days post surgery I was able to stop my pain killers, my sleep was not hindered, the pain in my hip seemed like a distant memory. Now I am almost at 5 months post surgery I am 2 months back to fifo since July and this was only made possible by Dr Kerr and his amazing team. For future reference or note to self would be to reach out to Dr Kerr's Orthopaedic clinic asap www.jointsolutions.com.au

  Dr David Kerr was amazing he has done both my hips this year and without him I wouldn’t even be walking. Other surgeons had dropped me, I can only gather my hips were to far gone and was told by them that I would end up with one leg longer than the other and I would never have a normal life again and would be in constant back pain because of how uneven my legs would be. Dr Kerr has made them completely even and I am back to my old self, painless and it’s not even 12 weeks since the second hip op. The aftercare and general care from his whole team has been amazing and he has gone above and beyond of what I was told by other doctors and I could not recommend him enough and to anyone who needs to see one of the best if not the best hip and knee surgeon in Perth as far as I’m concerned Thankyou dr Kerr and his team for taking away years of pain and giving me back my old life!! I can not thank you enough❤️💐❤️

  I had a total knee replacement performed by David Kerr at Midland Hospital on 23rd March 2026. The operation went exceptionally well and I have made a remarkable and quick recovery thanks to the expertise and brilliant skills of David and his team. David was highly professional and put me at ease and answered any questions I had. He has the best bedside manner I have ever encountered. He is friendly and approachable and personable and I can highly recommend him as the best knee surgeon in Perth.

  As a patient of Dr Kerr and his team I couldn't have been in better care. Dr Kerr seems to care for his patients deeply and I was impressed by his kindness and humour. And, of course most of all, the outcome of the operation couldn't have been any more successful. Up and about in what seemed to be no time with no pain, which surprised me. Totally recommend his practice and all the care I have had all round at St John of God in Midland.

  I highly recommend Dr. Kerr. From the start, he was friendly, easy to talk to, and took the time to explain all of my options clearly. He made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the whole process. I’ve felt really well looked after by Dr. Kerr and his team, and the care I’ve received has been amazing. Everyone has been supportive, professional, and genuinely caring. I’m very grateful for everything they’ve done and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr. Kerr to anyone needing a great surgeon.

  I had left knee arthroscopy surgery with Dr David Kerr in December 2025. From the first appointment, right through to the day of surgery and at my post operative appointments Dr Kerr and his team were amazing. Dr Kerr always took the time to explain the treatment options in detail and provided a thorough explanation around the surgery and the expected outcomes. He is a very caring and understanding doctor who only wants the best outcomes for his patients. He was kind and always understanding and was happy to answer any questions or queries I had. I have had a fantastic result from knee arthroscopy surgery and cannot thank Dr Kerr and his team enough!! Before the surgery I was in quite a lot of pain and had a very unstable knee with a marble-sized loose body floating around in the knee joint, this caused issues with locking and a general feeling of instability. Dr Kerr was able to remove the loose body, tidy up some small tears in the meniscus and release the patellofemoral ligament to allow more mobility in the knee joint. I am now five months post surgery and my knee feels amazing, strong and stable and with very little pain. It has allowed me to get back to doing the activities I enjoy, swimming and walking and to live life again. I would definitely highly recommend Dr David Kerr as he is a very experienced, professional and caring doctor.

  I was referred to Dr Kerr after a seriously impacting my big toe. Was expecting to be in surgery later this week, but was pleasantly surprised by David's prudent and conservative approach to my injury. After carefully detailing his diagnosis, showing me my Xray, and explaining in patient friendly language, what we were looking at, I came away from my appointment, grateful to be in the hands of a competent, caring and ethical professional.
