Dr. Wassef did my left hip revision in 2019. It was a completely different experience from the original in 2005 in regards to pain and recovery. In 2024 Dr. Wassef and Jason did my right hip using the MAKO robot and the pain was minimal and the recovery rapid. Dr. Wassef will always be my go to surgeon for my joints. Thanks!

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!!

Had my first meeting with Dr. Wassef. Very patient and explained my options. Had a cortisone shot and we will see how well this will help with the pain.
