Welcome to the website of Dr David Kieser. David is an orthopaedic surgeon who specialises in diagnosis and surgery for issues with the spine, hip, & knee. His modern practice includes cervical and lumbar disc replacement. Based in New Zealand's  South Island city of Christchurch his consulting rooms are conveniently situated adjacent to Southern Cross Hospital, at 9 Caledonian Road. Dr Kieser and his clinical team are fully committed to providing patients with contemporary orthopaedic solutions that are supported by sound academic research. He has contributed to over 130 peer-reviewed publications. Our practice philosophy is to offer patients the highest standard of orthopaedic care during diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.

With Covid 19 restrictions now down to Level 2 in the South Island we are largely back to normal service for consultations and surgery. However, appropriate precautions for the safety of patients and practice staff are being carefully followed.

We are pleased to be able to welcome patients once again to our spacious and comfortable consulting rooms. If you have any questions about our service or visitor requirements at Covid Level 2 please feel free to contact us. ​​

Arthroplasty is the orthopaedic term for the replacement of diseased or damaged joints. The most common procedures are hip replacement and knee replacement. Dr Kieser routinely deploys advanced planning and intra-operative technology with a view to providing benefits for his patients. If you are experiencing  hip pain or knee pain we invite you to contact us to see if an orthopaedic surgeon consultation is appropriate for you at this stage. Joint replacement in Christchurch is a regular part of Dr Kieser's caring practice. He and his staff are able to assist with common patient questions such as the cost of joint replacement and recovery time from joint replacement.
