can’t speak to highly of dr blakeney i had my right knee replaced at albany campus on 19th may 2026 by the good doctor i was ready to resume normal movement in about 4 weeks with little to no pain and 120 degree movement in 5 weeks just amazing thank you for your professional services graham mckimm
Great care from Dr Will Blakeney and the West Coast Orthopedic Centre team. Professional, attentive, and highly skilled. Didn't take forever to get an appointment, fees were very reasonable, everything handled very well. Couldn’t be happier with my experience.
My experience with Dr Blakeney has been nothing short of incredible. My full knee replacement journey has been seamless from prior surgery meetings to post surgery. He is professional and has a great bed side manner. Then there’s Gracie the lady behind the desk who offers her beautiful calm nature and smile. Her presence and professionalism has never wavered. The two of them make a formidable team, Thank you 🤩
Receptionist was condescending and rude to the point of me seeking another surgeon.
I had a right hip replacement 12 months ago and it has been brilliant. I went back to Will as he had previously done reconstruction on both shoulders. First class on all 3 occasions. Further, Gracie his Secretary makes the whole experience an absolute pleasure. Many thanks.
Amazing surgeon, bilateral knee replacement surgery and walking out of hospital 5 days later 😁
Highly recommend William Blakeney, operation went smoothly excellent results. I found Dr Blakeney quite easy to converse with considering he is a surgeon. Dr Blakeney's secretary Gracey is very efficient and lovely to deal with.
My knee operation was a great success. Dr Blakeney carefully explained the procedure and the post op process and this helped ensure a very positive outcome. Dr Blakeney is a highly professional and skilled orthopaedic surgeon. I strongly recommend him for your procerdure. Gracie, his secretary, is also extremely helpful!
Dr William Blakeney performed my shoulder surgery after I lost most of my movement when a COVID vaccination was administered too high and aggravated the bursa. Despite several cortisone injections, my range of motion remained severely restricted. Throughout the process, Dr Blakeney was easy to talk to, listened carefully, and treated me with respect. He is a skilled surgeon and communicates in a way that many in his profession unfortunately do not.
Recently had shoulder surgery at the start of December 25. Dr Blakeney and his staff were fantastic, shoulder id getting better every day and the operation was very stress free. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr Blakeney.
Absolutely amazing Orthopaedic Surgeon who transformed my painfull dodgy knee into a painless experience. Appreciate the follow ups after surgery to check on my well-being. Highly recommend Will Blakeney
After four years of persistent pain and consultations with numerous practitioners who said my shoulder would never improve, I was referred to Dr. Blakeney. He promptly recommended surgery, and within four months I regained full movement, with no impingement and no pain. Dr. Blakeney is friendly, highly knowledgeable, and an exceptionally skilled surgeon.
Six weeks, after a total knee replacement, l could not be happier. Absolutely reccomend Dr. Blakeney and his team and St. John of God Hospital in Subiaco. Fantastic effort by them all. Thanks again.
Dr William Blakeney is an outstanding orthopaedic surgeon, who is interested, attentive and caring in his interaction with patients. His team approach to hip replacement at all stages is faultless.
No complaints after shoulder replacement surgery. Recovery period was easy to endure and 12 month follow up showed a good result. Compliments for excellent surgery outcome by Dr Blakeney
Partial medial meniscectomy performed by Dr Blakeney recently. Absolutely fantastic result. Absolutely no residual pain. Remember though that the surgery is only as good as the effort you put into your rehabilitation. Follow the recommended exer For the best results!
Will performed a Reverse shoulder replacement on my right shoulder six weeks ago. I am still on the mend but I believe the surgery has been very effective. Will explained the process very clearly and he has been very professional in all his dealings with me. I might require both knee joints to be replaced due to similar arthritic problems. Should this be the case I would have no hesitation in using Will again for this surgery.
Can not thank William enough for getting my mobility back after a double hip Replacement. His professionalism in communicating what was required to be done and the trust he built with me in a very short time was extraordinary along with his Surgical skills. Post operation in Hospital he consistently visited me daily to follow up how I was progressing. He gave me a clear rehab programme to work through to full recovery. At 67 I am now back Bike riding 14 kms a day , walking an average of 5,000 steps a day, resumed fishing out in my boat, playing walking football and travelling with my caravan around Australia and off to Europe for 7 weeks soon. Highly recommend William and his very efficient secretary Gracie. Regards Bill Pearce
It's coming up to 12 months since having Will Blakeney do a reverse shoulder joint replacement. I would highly recommend WILL as a surgeon in this type of operation. I had and have, the utmost confidence in Will's ability through the pre and post operation care. My procedure has been a total success. I also must highly commend Gracie Edwards as Will's personal assistant, to have all the checks, pre and post surgery in place. Nothing was too hard for her, which as a country patient, was greatly appreciated. David Parnell Albany
Very happy with my left shoulder surgery with Dr Blakeney & the treatment with West Coast Orthopaedic Centre. Will be having my right shoulder done shortly also with Dr Blakeney.
I have been very pleased with the results of my surgery. Dr Blakeney and his team were very professional and a pleasure to deal with. I would not hesitate to recommend them.
Amazing shoulder surgeon. He used 3D planning to determine the optimum placement and movement of the joint (RSA) and this resulted in him ordering a non standard part - he's actually co-written papers on this. After being hit by a car while riding a bike nearly 10 years ago my shoulder was a mess with necrosis and extremely limited range and constant pain even at rest. I was told by many surgeons not to expect more range from a reverse shoulder replacement but a reduction in pain. Seven months post RSA my range in all directions has improved hugely to the point I can do things I haven't done in 10 years - like use arm equipment in the gym, lift my arms up above my head and sleep. I'm really grateful I chose Mr Blakeney as I believe the 3D planning and his skills as a surgeon maximised my chances of success. It has totally transformed my life.
Highly recommended for hip surgery. Dr William Blakeney and his team (including Gracie Edwards) were very professional with a nothing is too much trouble and high care attitude. Very happy with the whole process/experience and results.
I had a (R) shoulder replacement 25th June 2024, after suffering for years from a previous shoulder replacement. Dr Blakeney was very explanatory, as to what the surgery process would be like & what to expect after surgery. It has now been 6 weeks from my surgery & am pleased with my progress so far - a lot less pain than I had experience with the previous surgeon. I would absolutely recommend Dr Blakeney, to anyone wishing to venture into joint replacement surgery. Dr Blakeney also performed shoulder replacement surgery on my (L) shoulder back in 2018 & am pain free. He also, performed Hip replacement surgery on my wife's hip & she is also pain free, with a complete recovery. Great surgeon - well done Dr Will.
Very satisfied with my reverse shoulder replacement.
Very professional and did an amazing job on my total shoulder replacement. Would highly recommend seeing him for any shoulder issues
Pitsamai Green comments as follows: "Thank you, Dr Blakeney for everything you have done to rid me of the pain caused my osteoarthritis problems, that is, your expertise in carrying out my two hip replacement operations. Each operation went very well. Though you were very busy helping many of your patients but your care in finding time to visit and check on me during my two stays in the hospital were very much appreciated. I would also like to mention you have a good team member in Gracie. In her administrative role Gracie was very efficient and helpful right from my first phone call to make an appointment . Gracie made us feel welcome whenever we visited your practice. I am thankful and I feel blessed to have you as my orthopaedic surgeon. Best wishes, Pitsamai Green 5/06/2023
I recently had a reverse shoulder replacement operation. I received such great service from Dr Blakeney he made me feel comfortable and explained everything to me prior to the operation. It’s been 3 months now that I’ve have had the operation and I feel great and I can honestly recommend Dr Blakeny for anyone having to have a procedure like mine to go see This amazing Dr and his staff for all his care and support. Thank you Dr Blakeney Jean Pierre Sabatino
A Reverse Shoulder Replacement was the diagnosis, somewhat daunting! I needn't have worried. Dr Blakeney performed the procedure 12 months ago, and today, my shoulder is like new. I have not experienced any issues whatsoever and I only wish I had seen him a decade ago. I could not have wished for a better outcome. Dr Blakeney is a brilliant surgeon.
