I was referred to Dr Shane Blackmore by a friend who had used him for his shoulder surgery. Soon after I made an appointment at Stronger Healtcare. The staff are exceptional, and Shane was very professional, we went over my condition/injuries and the options going forward. Surgery was required, first up was my right shoulder which went very well. A few weeks later went back and had the left shoulder done as well. The facilities at Stronger, the admin staff, nurse, physios, etc are first class. Highly recommend anyone to see Shane for shoulder surgery.

Mr Blackmore is a very skilled surgeon who also studied in New York City & London. The first time I saw him, he told me, “you’ll tell me when you need surgery” & so I returned 3 years later to say, “yes - now!”. He did my left knee on 11/2/26 and came in to see me shortly after. He provided a sheet explaining exactly what was done. When I left hospital 13 days later (staying as long as possible for in-patient rehabilitation), I had a follow-up appointment at Stronger. I saw a nurse, who removed my staples & gave me a fresh dressing, and then a rehab therapist. Both they and the receptionist were lovely! Professional and helpful. I’ll go back to Shane for my other knee in June and then eventually my shoulder.

Shane's experience in ensuring the procedure is performed properly, he was informative in obtaining the best possible outcome for me. I have my full mobility and excellent flexion in both knees without discomfort in less than a year. After 7 months Left, 5 months Right knee. I got into full yoga, pilates and more. Do the rehabilitation and keep up the improvements with excercise. Recipient of (TKR) double total knee replacements 8 weeks apart. Thank you 🙏

This was my second knee replacement by Shane in just over a year. My first knee replacement was such a success that I had no hesitation in having the second replacement on the 14/1/26. ATM I am progressing really well and well advanced in my rehab. I have so much faith and confidence in Shane and would recommend him to any person requiring a knee replacement. Also very importantly his staff are so efficient, friendly and caring people which makes the whole process so much easier. Thank you Shane and all your staff.

I saw Mr Blackmore for the first time, 4 years ago After I had tried every other option there was for my right knee, he listened to my concerns, explained the next steps and the decision was made to have a partial knee replacement- at the age of 41!!! I saw him again a year later regarding my left knee where we discussed my options and we agreed to do a arthroscopy - a year later I went back, as my knee was painful, and we agreed on a total knee replacement - I had this done at the age of 44!!! I was scared or nervous, I was confident in my decision and my choice of specialist. Mr Blackmore gave me options every single time, he explained them and told me to choose what I wanted and what was needed. He is empathetic, understanding and does what is best for his patients I have refereed many patients to him, and they all feel the same way I can’t fault him at all, As for his staff, 5 stars to them, they are friendly? Assist when needed and do a great job !! Thank you to each and everyone of them

I was referred to Dr. Shane Blackmore and recently visited him at his practice, Stronger Healthcare, in Richmond. From the very first appointment, he took the time to clearly explain the condition of both my hips and why replacement surgery was necessary. His calm, thorough, and reassuring approach immediately gave me confidence. I have now had my total left hip replacement, and the result has been life‑changing. I no longer have any pain in my left hip, and I feel as though my mobility has been fully restored. I am already looking forward to having my right hip addressed soon, knowing I am in highly capable hands. Dr. Blackmore is an exceptional surgeon — skilled, compassionate, and committed to delivering the highest standard of care. He was supported by brilliant health professionals and an outstanding team of staff who made the entire experience smooth and stress‑free. I want to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Shane Blackmore and the entire team at Stronger Healthcare. I highly recommend Dr. Blackmore to anyone seeking world‑class orthopedic care. Thank you.

Not only do I highly recommend Dr Blackmore, he is the only orthopedic surgeon I will use for any future operations. Dr. Blackmore was referred to me by another surgeon who was unable to help me. He stepped in and with his expertise undertook my complicated hip replacement surgery. Now 8 weeks post surgery I’m living my life again totally pain free. I can’t thank Dr Blackmore and his team enough. Bravo 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻

This is the second review I am leaving for Dr Shane Blackmore who did my hip replacement January 2024. He was such a brilliant surgeon, assisted by a team of brilliant health professionals, and supported by brilliant staff. One and a half years post surgery, i am so well and so back to doing everything I love doing. Feeling so thankful and I would highly recommend him to anyone who might be suffering and require medical intervention. Janice T

Highly recommend Dr. Shane Blackmore and the team at ‘Stronger’. I was suffering dreadful pain in my shoulder and unable to do the slightest of movements. After surgery, and a carefully crafted recovery routine with John Sweet (Stronger Physiotherapist) I’m back at the gym and feeling great!

I am completely happy with the treatment, and advice in caring for my new shoulder. I highly recommend Stronger . Robyn x
