What a great experience! Dr. D was so professional and kind. He was able to help me without surgery and we decided to do gel injections instead. I am so happy that I feel better without surgery, which is what another doctor was ready to do!

Dr. Durbhakula is simply the best knee surgeon out there. He has a very professional team, an incredible bedside manner, and he is really a top notch surgeon and doctor. He replaced my knee with the robotic technique and my hip with the anterior approach. He is very skilled and up to date on all the latest techniques.

Be wary. He can be personable, but what you need is skill. In my knee replacement surgery, the parts he used were too large and were misaligned. From my first night out of surgery through the next 8 months, I had very painful spasms, every single day. He overlooked all the red flags that my surgery was not successful. He didn’t listen or believe me when I asked about my lack of progress and my on-going pain. He didn't advise revision surgery and was dismissive about getting a second opinion. I got one anyway. That led to a complete revision of my knee by Dr. Evans at Georgetown, a surgeon known to fix bad surgeries. After my revision surgery, my pain ended completely and immediately. My recuperation is now on track. If your surgery isn’t successful, you need a surgeon who can recognize that and deal with it. Dr. D. could not. Initially he was very communicative, but when things started to fall apart, he avoided me. Because of Dr. D’s failed surgery, I’ve lost an entire year… so far. Still, I am giving him 1 star for being friendly when we first met. Otherwise, he deserves 0 stars.

Dr Durbhakula is a little off in the stars but that doesn't detract from the fact that he is
a master of anterior hip arthroplasty. I can happily offer my outcome as credible evidence of his surgical skill. And, it is reassuring to see that Dr Durbhakula scores highly in Medicare data which tracks complications. [Analysis of this data makes the reasonable assumption that a low rate of complications correlates with a high level of surgical skill and concentration]. Rock on Dr D!
