Hip & knee surgery for the Limestone Coast

Living in the South East shouldn’t mean travelling to Adelaide for every appointment. Dr Luke Mooney holds a regular consulting clinic in Mount Gambier, so patients across the Limestone Coast can be assessed for hip and knee problems without a long trip for the initial consultation. He also runs a clinic in Naracoorte.

Dr Mooney focuses exclusively on hip and knee surgery — from arthritis and sports injuries through to direct anterior hip replacement and Mako robotic joint replacement. He personally sees you at every appointment, performs your operation himself, and looks after your follow-up. There is no registrar, and no locum — the surgeon you meet is the surgeon who operates.

Referral information
Your surgery — Eastwood Private Hospital, Adelaide

A new hospital, and the latest robotic technology

When surgery is the right step, Dr Mooney operates at Eastwood Private Hospital — a modern, purpose-built private hospital in Adelaide, equipped with a new-generation Stryker Mako robotic system (Mako 4) on site for hip and knee replacement. It is the same technology Dr Mooney uses to plan and position each implant precisely for your anatomy, and it is available from day one at Eastwood.

For Limestone Coast patients, that means the convenience of a local consultation combined with surgery in a state-of-the-art Adelaide facility — a short, well-supported trip for the operation itself, with the accuracy of robotic-assisted joint replacement. Dr Mooney also operates at Calvary Adelaide Hospital.

Why patients choose Dr Mooney

Specialist focus. Personal care.

Robotic hip & knee
Dr Mooney uses the Stryker Mako robotic system for both hip and knee replacement — a 3D plan built around your own anatomy, then executed with precision in theatre.
Direct anterior hip
A muscle-sparing approach to hip replacement that avoids cutting the stabilising muscles — no posterior restrictions, and most patients walking the same day.
You always see Dr Mooney
Your consultation, your operation, and every follow-up are with Dr Mooney personally. He does not delegate consultations to a registrar or the surgery to a colleague.
