Dr Joerg Rhau

I recently required the needs of a Orthopaedic Surgeon for a recent work injury on my wrist and having had the experience of Dr Rhau preforming a Total Shoulder Replacement on my left shoulder in late 2021 I had no hesitation in asking my GP to refer me back to him. I have always found him to be a kind and understanding Surgeon who takes the time to listen and explain everything to me.Jodi and Hannah on the front desk are very helpful, excellent and efficient as well making the whole process easy.

Excellent from first contact to post surgery.The reception is excellent and efficient. I was seen as soon as possible and the administration was seemless.Dr Rhau advised me of my options for dealing with my fractured scaphoid (R) in a clear manner. I elected surgery and was scheduled for the next afternoon. I then saw the associated therapist who fitted me with a top quality brace to replace my temporary splint and scheduled my post op care.Surgery day was excellent from the nurses in pre op to post op and recovery.Dr. Rhau has an excellent manner with patients and I always knew what was happening. The anaesthetist was excellent and was very informative in his pre op examination. My recovery from anaesthesia was the best I can recall. I woke up feeling great and ready to go ! No hangover at all. I was given a folder all my post op information and next appointment date etcas well as all the necessary medication for ongoing pain reliefI would recommend Dr Rhau without a moments hesitation. He is an excellent surgeon with an excellent teamIt's the best experience possible under the circumstances. I wouldn't go to anyone else if need an orthopaedic surgeon again.

Great experience once again. Dr Rau is always so knowledgeable, kind and gentle. The two ladies on the reception desk were very welcoming, relaxed and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and everyone took the time I and each patient I observed needed to organise their admission details following consultation.Very clean comfortable waiting area and the fridge with water bottles is a great addition to comfort while waiting.

Thanks for a straight forward proceedure. Dr Rhau was very informative about my surgery & the paperwork was handled by his lovely staff. Highly recommended!

Choosing a Surgeon is so important. I found Dr Joerg Rhau, warm, honest and knew his craft. He offered realistic patient options and outcomes. I appreciated his recommendations, support and openness to my needs and my requests.His team was highly supportive and proactive. I felt that from all the points of contact that he was a good surgeon, a good leader, had a quality team, had the respect, support and workmanship himself and from his team.I would recommend any of my close friends or family to nominate Dr Rhau and his team for their surgical care.At all points of contact for the procedure at the Greenslopes Private Hospital; Dr's, nurses, catering and reception, I felt the most genuine care and attention at all stages. Nothing was a problem to provide for me as I was a solo, remote patient without present family or friend support. Each staff member truly was helpful in an above and beyond way. Although they remained busy, their attention details and to care for myself as an individual patient was simply nourishing. I felt the Hospital was well staffed and the extras were noticed that I guess are the difference in a Private Hospital experience. Money well spent and surgery to date is a success. Thank you.

Dr Rhau was a very personable, welcoming gentleman who immediately made me very welcome and comfortable. He was informative, concise and ensured I was well informed enough to make a decision regarding suggested surgery. I feel I have total confidence in his abilities. A very satisfying experience. Thank you Dr Rhau for your professional but extremely warm manner.

I experienced a workplace injury and had a considerably difficult time dealing with Comcare; under Dr Rhau’s care, he was able to identify the injury immediately, advocate on my behalf and facilitate the surgical treatment that was required. Dr Rhau is a highly experienced and knowledgeable upper limb specialist who could answer all of my questions regarding the surgery and the necessary post-surgical rehab with a hand therapist. What made Dr Rhau’s Greenslopes clinic stand out was the accessibility to the onsite multidisciplinary team with Ecko Hand Therapy and Physiodynamics working in conjunction. I cannot emphasis enough just how helpful this was; all of my follow up hand therapy appointments could be made easily. It also meant that Dr Rhau was available to discuss ongoing treatment or concerns if needed. I was able to achieve a positive outcome during my treatment and get back to my pre-injury functionality.I also want to give a big shout-out to Hannah and Jodi, who run the clinic. I have spent a fair amount of time attending appointments, and hands down, these women are amazing. I admire all the hard work that they do as they coordinate everyone across the multidisciplinary team. They are always courteous and professional, and you are always guaranteed a warm welcome on arrival.

Joerg is an amazing practitioner, and has the perfect personality to make you feel confident and comfortable with your treatment. Yesterday was my second visit for separate treatments on each shoulder, and it’s fixed!

During my consultation with Dr Rhau I felt that he was very approachable and listened. He was able to diagnose and formulate a plan of treatment for my ongoing and all encompassing osteoarthritis issue with great confidence. I am hopeful of a quick recovery and return to full function.

My first visit yesterday to Dr Rhau was all quality. The receptionists, my first stop, were very welcoming and helpful, not at all condesending or overpowering. Dr Rhau explained thoroughly, listened, answered and organised what he believed to be the best treatment for my problem. I will face surgery with full faith in his expertise.
