He takes time to listen and address any concerns of each patient.I had a hip replacement done by him in 2018 and my hip has been wonderful. I walk about 12 miles a week and it has never given me any issues. I will be having a total shoulder replacement surgery with him soon.

When I was about 6, I was diagnosed with a somewhat rare condition known as Perthes disease. 24 years later I had developed advanced osteoarthritis, among other complications.

Dr. Wassef is a highly respected and sough-after joint replacement surgeon and I am thrilled with the results. I have had several different kinds of surgeries but never experienced the level of technical detail from the medical evaluation, surgery analysis, pre-op training materials, nutritional recommendations, surgical preparation, exercise training videos and Dr. Wassef’s post-surgical care. I had a severely compromised knee with bone spurs and a second knee that was not much better so I scheduled to have both knees done about 12 weeks apart. I have had some friends and family members have different experiences with joint replacement so I decided if I am going to do this once I wanted the best surgeon I could find and did extensive research. Based on Dr. Wassef’s recommendation I committed to strength training before the surgery to help with the healing process and was amazed at my recovery. The support staff was very professional and you can tell Dr. Wassef is highly respected at the surgery center based on the number of comments I received about this patient outcomes. C.

I had knee surgery in 2016. My 2023 knee surgery was so successful that my knee is better than it was before. My knee was in very bad shape with an infection, not from the initial knee replacement, but there were other complications, So, called Dr. Wassef the cleanup man, he did a wonderful job, restoring my knee, because he had a difficult task to save my knee/leg. and possibly my life. > God Bless Dr Wassef and his staff.

I’m sitting here 8 days after a partial knee replacement in minimal pain, and swelling. I had a physical therapist friend come check me out a few days post op, and she was stunned at how great my knee was. Had my post op eval with the place where I’ll be doing PT, and the therapist there said it’s the best she’s seen this soon after surgery. > > Aside from the actual surgery being an all around (and quite unexpected) great experience (how that’s even possible for a surgery 🤷🏻‍♂️) Dr Wassef himself is a really great, and personable professional. Talking with him is very easy, great bedside manner which having already had 4 other knee surgeries with 2 other surgeons, this is not the norm for surgeons in my experience. Not only that, but he gave me his own personal cel number in case I had any issues, I could just go straight to him and get things taken care of. He’s hit me up a few times since the surgery just to make sure I’m doing well. Also, he’s a funny dude, so that makes talking with him even easier. > > His staff has been great as well, working with me and my TERRIBLE insurance (I hate AppleCare...they’re garbage) to get everything pre surgery worked out. They’ve been very good about contacting me to make sure I’ve been doing good as well. > > It’s been a really great experience, and unfortunately I know I’ll need another partial on my other knee, but fortunately I can get that done through Wassef, so I’m not as worried about it as I was before I found him. > > Anyway, if you need a replacement, do not hesitate to go to Wassef, you will NOT regret it one bit.
