Welcome to our practice
We believe that every patient deserves individualised care. No two conditions are the same, and neither are the people who experience them. That’s why we take the time to listen to your story, understand your lifestyle and goals, and clearly explain your diagnosis and treatment options.
Whether you’re managing joint pain, recovering from injury, or considering surgery, you’ll be guided through each step with honesty, expertise, and care. Our goal is to help you move freely and confidently with the most effective treatment plan for your needs.

Why Patients Choose Dr Blackley
Unmatched Expertise
Dr Hugh Blackley is one of New Zealand’s most experienced orthopaedic surgeons, with over two decades of specialist practice. He pioneered modern hip resurfacing in New Zealand and continues to lead in advanced joint replacement techniques.
Patient-Centred Care
Every patient’s journey is different. We take time to listen, explain your condition clearly, and involve you in every decision. You’ll never feel rushed or pressured into treatment.
Balanced Treatment Options
Surgery is not always the first or best answer. Whenever possible, we begin with non-surgical approaches such as physiotherapy or corrective exercise programs. If surgery is the right choice, you can feel confident in receiving expert care.
Trusted Results
With thousands of successful procedures and a focus on long-term outcomes, Dr Blackley’s patients benefit from treatments that restore movement, reduce pain, and improve quality of life.
Convenient Locations
Consultations are available at both Remuera and Southern Cross North Harbour, with accessible parking and patient-friendly facilities.
