Incredible surgeon with best bed side manner and team members! I felt like he actually listened to what I had to say and truly cared about my health and well being with my hip replacement. I 100% would recommend him as a surgeon.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Wassef. 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. I have all the confidence in him that it will be a successful surgery just like my last.

Dr. Wassef is my hero. 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. I’m lucky to have had such a great doctor take on my case. It’s been three weeks since I had my hip replacement , and after all these years, I’m finally pain free!!

Dr. Wassef did a hip replacement this week and it went very well. He was so kind and professional and made me feel at ease. His PA Jason was equally wonderful. I would recommend Dr. Wassef to anyone needing a total hip replacement.

Dr. Wassef is AMAZING! He is so kind and caring, I’ve never meet a Dr like him. His whole team is the BEST! I feel so blessed that I was able to have him do my hip revision. He did a fantastic job, much much better than I had expected. I had my first hip replacement done 4 months prior at Hoag Hospital, it dislocated twice after 4 months of healing and PT. Nightmare!! But I found Dr Wassef and now I have confidence that I will have my active life back. I can’t thank Him enough!!!

Dr Wassef Performed a total hip replacement on my right hip. I found him to be outstanding in every way. Before the surgery, but very clear on in every aspect. Also, very patient with me and spent a lot of time explaining the situation. The surgery and the aftermath have been fantastic so far. The technique Dr. Wassef uses seems to smaller scar and less muscle cutting than other techniques An outstanding performance from beginning to end.

Dr Wassef is an incredibly skilled surgeon who treats his patients like good friends. In less than 5 weeks after my hip replacement, I was back on the dance floor. My physical therapist was so impressed with my recovery that he released me after 12 sessions of therapy. If you’re considering hip, knee, or shoulder surgery, definitely get an opinion from Dr Wassef.

I have nothing but praise for Dr. Wassef. I needed a difficult and complicated hip replacement. Seven weeks after my surgery I was able to go to Europe for the birth of a new grandson. No walker. No cane. I am grateful for Dr. Wassef and the great staff at his office. Props to Lakewood Regional Medical Center too.

A little more understanding
Hip & joint replacement
Comparing hip replacement care is easier when the conversation starts with your symptoms, goals, and support needs. Ask about relevant experience, the proposed operation, realistic function, and who will help you through recovery.
