I had a second opinion with him regarding my knee treatment. He took the time to listen carefully to all my concerns and gave me clear, helpful instructions on what to do next. I really appreciated his patience and the way he explained everything so clearly.

Dr Rhys Clark is an incredibly talented surgeon and i could not recommend him more highly. The surgical outcome was exceptional , and the entire team supported me every step of the way. If you need the absolute best in this field, look no further.
Rhys has helped me with an ACL reconstruction after my physio recommended him to me. Could not be happier with the results, the nurse explained scarring was some of the smallest and best she’d seen, physio explained recovery so far had been one of the best he’s had. Thank you so much!
I cannot thank Dr. Rhys Clark enough for the exceptional care, expertise and skill he demonstrated throughout my hip replacement journey. I had a screw in my left hip from a previous surgery almost 30 years ago, which made my case more complex. Dr. Clark successfully removed the old screw and performed an absolutely immaculate hip replacement operation. One of my biggest concerns was my leg length, and I am incredibly grateful that he was able to restore and level my leg length to match my original leg. The precision, professionalism and care shown by Dr. Clark throughout the entire process have been exceptional. I am extremely happy with the outcome and the way my recovery is progressing. I would highly recommend Dr. Rhys Clark to anyone considering hip replacement surgery. Thank you, Dr. Clark, for your outstanding work, for giving me confidence in my mobility again, and for making such a positive difference to my life. I will always be truly grateful.
3 years ago my husband had his left hip replacement. He is highly recommended and now we need to go back to replace his right hip.
I am now a month into my recovery from my left hip replacement and all is going well. Previously had my right hip replacement in Nov 2024 . I found Dr Rhys Clark from my first appointment to be friendly and professional and his lovely admin ladies were so helpful which made my journey to 'my new hips' to be a smooth, informative and stress free journey. I thoroughly recommend Dr Rhys Clark if you are considering hip replacement surgery.
I cannot thank Mr. Rhys Clark enough or recommend him more highly. Don't expect small talk . What you’ll get is a complete explanation of what to expect, then a seamless, professional operation that will change and improve your life. It’s now 4 weeks post op and already I'm walking pain free and unaided. 👏🏻
Huge thankyou to Rhys Clark & staff who took over my care & after extensive scans & tests on my poor old 18 year old knee replacement,it was decided i needed a new one,from surgery to rehab,it has been exceptionally smooth with a great outcome,i have my life back,highly recommened👌
Dr Rhys Clark is an incredible surgeon who has given me back my life. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.
I am writing this review nine weeks post surgery. I had a hip replacement a year ago and total knee replacement this September performed by Mr. Rhys Clark. Both procedures were positive experiences in every way. Mr. Clark is a no gap provider which pleasingly limits the unexpected expenses. Everything about the procedures is clearly communicated through an excellent handbook that is provided and his wonderful admin staff, who are extremely reassuring and answer questions comprehensively. I was particularly apprehensive about the knee replacement as I had heard of so many negative experiences first hand. My knee replacement went so smoothly. I came around from the anaesthetic so well, felt little pain but was expecting that to wear off. At worst I have had some swelling, stiffness and minor discomfort! Mr. Clark contacted me the day before surgery, phoned my husband when the surgery was completed and phoned just after I arrived home. The care that he provided was faultless. The patient also bears some responsibility in getting the most out of this amazing surgery. I spent a year before each surgery maximising my physical condition in a rehab gym and have also been guided by a fabulous physiotherapist. I am currently working on my strength in the rehab gym again.I am so grateful to Mr. Clark and everyone else involved for my successful recovery.
I cannot thank Dr Rhys Clark nor his wonderful staff enough for fixing up my knee and giving me back quality of life without pain after my torn meniscus kept me in excruciating pain for Months. I hope I don't ever need your services ever again - but if I do I won't hesitate to come back and will recommend you to others! Thank you ever so much.
What a life changing meeting Mr Clarke and the wonderful ladies in his office they could not help me enough the whole process from start to end nothing was to much trouble and the surgery was so easy I had my hip replaced and had instant relief from the pain I have been putting up with for a long time seven weeks later back at work climbing in and out of trucks with no pain getting into excavators with no pain and not walking with a limp anymore would not hesitate to recommend Mr Clarke
Excellent communicator and a Specialist in his field. I highly recommend this Specialist.
Highly recommend Dr Clark. He did my right total knee replacement 7 weeks ago and I feel amazing and feel it can only get better. Thank you
Rhys Clark is a no nonsense dr. He tells you how it is, and I found that refreshing. I had a total knee replacement. He explained everything to me clearly, making sure I understood what was happening. I was very happy with his work. My scar healed nicely, and he was always available to me if i had any questions. Checking in via emails after the op was nice too. His admin staff are also wonderful. I was unsure of some appts with the hospital but they reassured me each time I rang them. It is a scary experience for anyone but him and his team were very easy to deal with. Absolutely recommend Rhys Clark 100%.
Dr. Rhys Clark is an outstanding doctor – professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. He takes the time to listen, explains everything clearly in easy to understand terminology, and makes you feel completely at ease. His expertise and compassionate approach give you real confidence that you’re in the best hands. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for excellent medical care.
My whole experience of having hip replacement surgery by Dr Rhys Clark, has been amazing, from my initial appointment until the final one. I was given all relevant information, email updates of pre and post surgery progress and surgery results beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend Dr Clark to anyone looking for a highly skilled surgeon who runs a very professional surgery and just happens to be a very approachable, nice person as well.
I had a total left knee replacement done by Dr Rhys Clark almost 8 weeks ago. The whole process was amazing. 100% recommend anyone to use Dr Clark as your surgeon. Recovery has been excellent and all his staff are lovely. Fantastic surgeon
I cannot express enough my gratitude to Mr Clark for his brilliant work replacing my hip. I was amazed that he would take the time, before & after surgery, to communicate through email/text to put me at ease, inform and encourage me. Having been a teacher of technology in schools for decades, I was ‘wowed’ by the digital modelling that Rhys sent me the day before surgery. It went to plan perfectly, I had no incision pain and my recovery has been very pleasing. Thanks so much Rhys.
Dr Rhys Clark has recently performed knee replacements on my left and right knees with a gap of 10 weeks in between each procedure. I was in St. John of God Murdoch Hospital for three nights for the first operation and the second I was in for just two nights. Dr Rhys Clark and his team were very professional, caring and kept me informed during the whole procedure. My recovery from both knee replacements has been excellent and made a big difference to my daily life. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Rhys Clark and his team to carry out these procedures.
8 weeks ago I had a (Mako Knee replacement) done by Rhys Clark. It has been amazing, very little pain, no need for crutches and walking on the beach approximately a week and a bit later. Rhys Clark explains the process very clearly and you are given a lot of very professional documentation to refer to. I have been back at the gym now for 2 weeks and apart from a little muscle tightness's above the knee I don't feel like I have had major surgery. I highly recommend Rhys if you are contemplating total knee replacement.
Dr Clark was upfront about everything concerning my knee & my knee surgery. Lovely ladies on reception were amazing. I found the whole process easy, very informative and Dr Clark listened & was easy to talk to.
I recently had a complex hip revision done by Dr Clark. I have had many operations in my life, many interactions with doctors and specialists, and never have I had a Doctor who has been as approachable and personable as I have found Dr Clark. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Total right knee replacement. Amazing, it has given me my life back. And, I have been lucky to have had a great/speedy recovery. Dr Clarke comes highly recommended by me.
I can not thank Dr Clark enough for his brilliant work replacing my Lt hip. I was amazed that he would take the time to send emails before and after surgery. Thank you so much Dr Clark.
Dr Rhys Clark performed a left hip replacement. Very informative prior to and post procedure, recovery has gone very well and great to have the pain gone and mobility back. Thank you
Saw Rhys for my hips and left knee over the last couple of years. I've gotten amazing results and will recommend Rhys to anyone needing a new hip/knee. Cheers 😁
Never met a surgeon with such professionalism. His pre surgery care, bed side manner, and post surgery care were second to none. We were always kept fully informed and made everything easy. Would highly recommend.
So glad I chose Dr Rhys Clark, he did a tremendous job on both hip replacements, very skilled dr.
No bedside manner
I am a new Man.. 2 new knees.. 1st Op was March 2023..
In my experience, Dr Rhys Clark is the best surgeon for TKR. From the very first appointment, right up to post surgery appointments of a Total Knee Joint. Kind, compassionate and highly skilled. I could not recommend him or his team highly enough. Dr Rhys's Administration team, also are fantastic. SJOG Murdoch, was great. I'm a 52 Female, and was not expecting a TKR at this time in my life, but simply, there was no other option. I am so very grateful to have found Dr Rhys Clark and have him as my surgeon. Outstanding!!!!
From the first phone call to reception speaking to Linda and post surgery I can HIGHLY recommend Rhys Clark and his team. I am 61yrs and had to have a 2nd hip revision after my stem snapped in half, something that surprised me no end. The X-ray Dr rang Rhys who called me in between surgeries, I was fitted in very quickly and within 6 days I was in surgery which thankfully went incredibly well. Rhys messaged me after surgery to say he was happy with how it went, he messaged me the first day I was home (5 days in hospital) to see how I was and to let me know that I could reach out if I had any concerns, he emailed me X-rays and to check in, NEVER have I had a surgeon who took the time, who treated his patients like they were family and who was so caring and compassionate. I am 9weeks post and doing very well, I have a much longer stem now, walking without a limp, something I was terrified of and NO pain. My biggest thanks to Rhys his reception staff who are simply gorgeous and as accommodating as they could possibly be. Do yourself a favour go and see this guy, super glad I followed the 5 star reviews because I can add to that now too. 😄😄
2 total knee replacements 8 weeks apart. Simply everything from the expertise and caring of Rhys, by example, my wife Linda was contacted on both occasions within minutes of me leaving theatre. To the caring office, nursing and physio team, anaesthetist re- assurance. Both experiences were excellent. Thank you. Highly recommend Rhys and his team. Congratulations to all. Ian/Linda.
I had a total hip replacement from Dr Clark almost 12 months ago. The guy is a legend and a leader in his field. After being turned away from another surgeon because I was “too young” to have this surgery Rhys simply said “your life and your kids are far too important to go wasting 10 years waiting in pain to essentially have this surgery down the track”. The anterior approach is so patient and recovery friendly and his use of technology ensures he gets it absolutely spot on. I’m pain free and am up and about with my family like I was before my accident. I was walking that night, one crutch after 4 days and no crutches after 8 days (he won’t want to hear that). This comment he made stuck with me and it sums up his attitude and approach entirely. When I asked him about another surgeon objecting to use the anterior approach because it’s too hard to see what you’re doing he replied with “there are two ways to do this surgery, easier for me but harder for you and your recovery (posterior approach) or harder for me and takes a little longer but much better for you in all regards both short and long term (anterior approach) and I think it’s better for the patient to get the better deal”. Thank you Rhys.
I found Dr Clark to be very approachable, professional, down to earth and honest at all times. He answered all questions in a way i could process and understand. He kept a check on me whilst in hospital and once home, and the surgery and recovery have been text-book. As a retired nurse, i have felt completely at ease and comfortable in his hands, and would happily recommend Dr Clark to anybody.
Dr Clark is absolutely fabulous. I had a hip replacement 3 months ago and I am fully recovered doing full workouts at the gym again. Thank you Rhys….job very well done..Bev👍👍
Review by Anne-Marie Dunnet Dr Rhys Clark and his team have been amazing throughout my treatment. Would absolutely recommend him with no reservations!
Everything from first consultation through operation and after care and communication throughout was first rate. Happy with result and would highly recommend Dr Rhys Clark.
Can't speak highly enough of Rhys, all over a great experience
Absolutely the best experience. Dr Clark did the anterior approach hip replacement and my recovery has been amazing. I had regular check ins from Dr Clark following my surgery and I am just over 5 weeks post op and almost back to life as normal. I would definitely recommend using Dr Clark. I had the other hip replaced by a different surgeon which was the posterior approach, whilst the final outcome is the same in the long term, the recovery with the posterior approach was prolonged and painful with higher risk of dislocation and limitations on movement and sleeping during recovery, all of which are not applicable with the anterior approach practiced by Dr Clark. I would recommend a consult with Dr Clark if you require a hip replacement and can speak from experience when I say the anterior approach as undertaken by Dr Clark is much better in terms of recovery than the posterior approach.
My wife Lu needed a hip replacement operation. Dr Clark is a very warm and compassionate surgeon and most importantly an extremely capable one. All Lu's pre-op concerns were managed with sensitivity and reassurance. Lu is now recovering well, and the outcome has far exceeded her own expectations. Lu is very thankful to Dr Clark, his team and St John of God hospital at Murdoch and we have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone requiring similar surgery.
Dr Clark goes above and beyond with his patient care and follow up after surgery. He did a great job on my overdue total knee replacement, after 6 weeks l was back at work. Can not recommend him enough.
I hate hospitals and doctors being a usually fit healthy 58 yo woman. Rhys explains the surgery, pain levels and outcomes clearly and calmed me. I trust him completely and will book my second total hip replacement surgery in 12 months. Thanks Rhys and Lynda too🙏
I can't thank Dr Clark and his team enough. My knee replacement couldn't have gone better from my initial consultation , my surgery , hospital stay and recovery. Would recommend to all .
I could not recommend Rhys Clark highly enough. His professionalism, skill as an Orthopaedic Surgeon and care of his patients is second to none. Norm Monck
from reception to DR Rhys Clark and anethasist , five star service , last year my wife had a knee replacement with Dr clark and she was super impressed with the service , so i decided to see him for my knee replacement and once again he went above and beyond both from his bed side manner and after care ,therefore i would highly recommend him to any person needing to see an orthopaedic surgeon
Apart from being a surgeon who leaves a neat job done on my knee, his manners and modesty is impeccable. My whole hearted thanks to you Dr. Rhys Clark.
Is an amazing surgeon. Cannot see the scaring. I highly recommend him
I have been seeing Rhys for 2 years regarding Right Hip pain and we decided that 2022 was the right time to do a Total Hip Replacement after trying many options to make the pain livable. During the last 2 years Rhys and his team have been fantastic, professional and helpful to assist my unique journey. I had my THR 2 weeks ago and it has been the best decision as the pain I was feeling has gone. Leading up to they surgery I was a tad nervous but the entire process was seamless, the staff at the hospital and anesthetist all contributed to calming the nerves. I was in hospital for 2 nights and after coming home I was only on crutches for 1 week and at my 2 week follow up I am completely free of crutches! I'm amazed at how quick I am up and walking again. Rhys takes the time to check in on you whilst your recovering at home which is so reassuring knowing he is only a text/call away if you need him. Due to my unique journey Rhys has to have me as a patient for a bit longer yet but all I can say is, Thank you for giving me a new lease on life. I am only 46 and work full time, have 2 kids under 10 and I am super active so being able to walk and stand pain free is absolutely brilliant. So, if you need any Orthopaedic surgeon my advise to you is ...pick up the phone and book in to see Rhys today. I can't recommend him higher!
My wife was in real pain. Hip injections just didn't work. After speaking to her GP, my wife went to see Dr. Rhys Clark. What a kind and understanding man! A new x-ray revealed that my wife needed urgent surgery. In spite of his very busy schedule, Dr. Clark operated on my wife on a Saturday. Right after the surgery, she stood up. The next day, after only one night in hospital, she was walking with one crutch and was able to go home. It's been four weeks now and my wife is walking really well and doesn't need the crutch anymore around the home. In fact, I have to tell her to 'slow down'. She hasn't needed any pain killers for two weeks. Wow! From total pain to no pain! What an amazing transformation. If you, like my wife, are in pain and need a hip replacement - don't wait! See Dr. Rhys Clark - he'll have you walking again within a few hours!
Where do I start. Dr Clark and his wonderful team are so professional. I recently had a total knee replacement with Dr Clark and could not be happier. Within days I was not experiencing much pain and as I am highly allergic to all pain killers and opiates was only on Panadol I was amazed. I have barely a scar and my progress is amazing. I was not out of pocket after my fund with my anaesthetic or Dr Clark and was quoted $1500 out of pocket with another specialist. Dr Clark visits Mandurah ever 2 weeks which was also a help. Linda his practise manager is so helpful also. All I can say is if you need a hip or knee operation he is the go to orthopaedic specialist. Very happy patient
I extend my utmost appreciation to Dr Rhys Clark who performed a anterior full left hip replacement for me. Having had an MRI which revealed significant osteo-arthritus in my left hip I contacted Dr Clark at StJohn of God Murdoch whose credentials I had read and his experience on the anterior hip replacement method encouraged me to utilise his skills. I underwent the surgery on the 19th July 2021 and had my final follow up appointment today. 16th October some 12 weeks later. I had 10 days rehab at Attadale Private Hospital. I arrived home following that stay and not once did I need to use the crutches, walking stick or rollater from that day. I was aware of the fact the risk of falling was always at the back of my mind however I was confident and patient in my movements and these aids I felt at ease not using them. Would be different to others with more complications than mine. The most important part of my rehab was ensuing all exercises prescribed were facilitated as best I could without shirking the issue. Over the 12 weeks I built up strength in my calf, hamstring muscles etc that were required to support my new hip etc. Also it was important to take all the prescribed 💊 medications for relief of pain associated with the surgery. I am now walking the best I have done for years and things like putting socks on and picking things up off the floor are now able to be done with ease. I thank Dr Clark and all his capable staff for giving me a new lease of life at 75 and have no hesitation in recommending him for any consultation on hips or surgery that may be recommended to follow.
