Doctor Vakil replaced my right hip in March 2026. He did an outstanding job. I was walking without a walker or cane in 2 weeks. My pain level was very low. Only took acetaminophen for pain management after discharge from the hospital. I selected Doctor Vakil for my procedure because he is personally involved in every aspect of his surgical cases to ensure a good outcome. Can not say enough good things about him and care I received. Recommend him highly for anyone needing a skilled, capable and compasionate physician.

We recently relocated to Philadelphia and began the journey of establishing new medical providers. At the top of the list was an orthopedic surgeon for a hip replacement. Dr. Jeffrey Vakil, Premier Orthopedics, was very highly recommended from multiple sources. I followed those recommendations and could not be more grateful for the outstanding care I received. Dr. Vakil has successfully completed thousands of hip replacements. He himself has had the procedure and therefore possesses the unique perspective of being both the patient and the surgeon. In additional to exceptional surgical expertise, Dr. Vakil provides the patient with a thorough education and understanding of all segments and aspects of the procedure.Dr. Vakil and the entire Premier Orthopedic staff; schedulers, office personnel and nurses, are exceedingly caring, professional, attentive, and knowledgeable. Dr. Vakil is truly an expectational choice for a hip replacement!

Dr. Vakil, and his staff, from the start, was understanding, reassuring, honest and encouraging about what was expected of me, in order for me to get knee replacement surgery. One hard truth Dr. Vakil told me was, if you can’t move before surgery, you won’t be able to move after. So off to PT I went. (Premier PT in East Norriton is equally awesome!) Another hard truth was that I had to get my BMI under a certain number. It took a few months, with his encouragement and suggestions, but I was successful with his support. Now I am doing stairs like a normal person, and standing from a chair by simply moving my feet under me and standing, without using my arms to lift me! It’s a miracle! If and when I need my other knee done, I know who to go to.

Surgery went well, and I was up walking with a walker within an hour of returning to my hospital room. Staff was very attentive to your needs, phenomenal experience! Discharged next day.

Dr Vakil exemplifies what an orthopedic surgeon should be. I transferred to him from a large factory like practice that didn't seem to care but me at all. The physical only examined one knee, told me I could have an MRI, when I knew I could not because of an implanted device in my lower body. This delayed my evaluation and caused distress. he then told me that "I had arthritis and should :go and get on with my life". A dear friend referred me to Dr Vakil and my care changed dramatically. He was personable, saw me jot just as a knee, but a full person with a life that was limited due to pain. He explained the procedure in detail, never making me feel rushed. I had faith in his ability not just to perform the surgery, but to actually care for me. He saw me in my hospital room twice the evening after surgery and in the morning before I was discharged, I recently returned for a check-up on the replacement and, as always, he was upbeat, present, and fully engaged during my visit.

I was suffering from severe arthritis in both hips. Dr Vakil performed hip replacement surgery on my left hip then on my right hip 10 weeks later. The surgeries and follow ups were thorough and meticulous. This was a difficult journey that he made as seamless as possible. He was available for questions and concerns from start to finish. Dr. Vakil genuinely cared about my well being and was determined to improve my quality of life. He succeeded and I cannot possibly recommend him more.

I was suffering from osteoarthritis in both hips. After a consultation with Dr. Vakil and completing six weeks of therapy for strengthening, surgery was scheduled for the right hip the beginning of March. The surgery, recovery and healing went very well without any complications. I was so pleased and wanted to get back to an active lifestyle that there was no hesitation with left hip replacement. The beginning of November completed my total hip replacement experience with Dr. Vakil and his team. I can't say enough to express how grateful I am for the attention to detail, the professionalism and the wonderful results achieved. I feel fantastic!!! I feel like running and dancing but Dr.Vakil reminds me to pace myself. Look out 2023...I'm ready! Thanks Doc!!!

Dr Vakil replaced my left knee in May 2022. It was such a success he replaced my right knee in September 2022 (4 months later). I found him to be extremely professional, caring, and explaining everything step-by-step. I did not feel like I was just a number. Appointments were easy to schedule, as well as my surgeries and follow up visits, without long waiting times in the office. I would not hesitate to recommend him. His staff was extremely helpful every step of the way.

I was recommended to Dr Vakil about a year ago because I needed hip surgery. Dr Vakil described the process of hip replacement very thoroughly and set my mind at ease concerning the surgery. The surgery went extremely well with no pain and virtually no recovery time. I was walking again within a day of the surgery. I would highly recommend Dr Vakil to anyone who requires hip surgery.

Dr. Vakil performed my first hip surgery as a member of Rothman at Abington Hospital in September of 2018. He did such a fine job with my left hip, I sought him out when my right hip needed replacing. Dr. Vakil now heads Premier Orthopedics at Chestnut Hill Hospital and the experience was even better this time. Chestnut Hill hospital staff were very attentive and concerned with my wellbeing. The surgery (on April 26) went smoothly and my recovery was rapid and rather painless. I feel that I made a good choice seeking out Dr. Vakil at Premier, rather than accepting the next surgeon in line at Rothman.

This past spring I had my knee replaced by Dr. Vakil. Throughout the entire process, he took the time to address all of my concerns- which were many. I never felt rushed or silly for reaching out to his office with a question. You can tell that he takes each patient's welfare to heart. The surgery went well, and I have recovered nicely. I plan to do my second knee in the fall. Dr. Vakil also did my hip replacement years ago. I trust him and would highly recommend him if you are considering these surgeries.

I was made so comfortable when I first visited the office. I was at ease with talking to Dr Vakil about my pain. I saw his advertising when i was attending my scheduled physical therapy appointment in Dec 2021 called and was giving an appointment immediately. I thought it was only knee and back pain cause by aging. But after he sit with me at my appointment he quickly found out that it was my hip and it needed replacement. I am so Happy I followed my instinct about him when I saw his picture on the Orthopedics physician's pamphlet. Today 3 months after surgery I am healing so good, no more constant pain and discomfort and I am glad he was my physician. February 1, 2022 I had my surgery and I am so grateful for him and the Premier Orthopedics Office at the Chestnut Hill Hospital.

had my Rt. Hip replaced on Jan. 18, 2022 by Dr, Vakil. He explained the entire procedure to my daughter and myself in terms we could understand and took his time doing it.

I have known Dr. Vakil since he was a resident at Hahnemann. We worked together for years while he trained to be an Orthopedic surgeon. When I decided to have surgery to have a total knee replacement, I had many physicians to choose from. I wanted someone I knew and trusted, so I chose Dr. Vakil as I knew his reputation and he was close to my home at Chestnut Hill Hospital. My experience was fantastic. The Hospital treated everyone like we were totality Dr Vakil came to see me before the surgery to mark my knee made sure I was comfortable. I came out of the surgery feeling great. I had therapy that day and went home that night. I got home and still felt good. The next day I had some pain but not excruciating. By day three I was walking without any assistance (no cane or walker) and returned to work (remotely) from home that Monday. I had surgery on November 9th and back at work on November 15th, I know I am the exception as that is how I am, I am so glad I placed my trust where I did.

I asked my family physician if his mother or father needed a total knee replacement who would he recommend? He said Dr. Vakil without hesitation. I made an appointment with Dr. Valkil and by the end of the appointment I knew I found the right doctor. I had surgery in late September 2021. Dr Vakil’s pain management and medicine protocol were completely different from my earlier knee replacement. I experienced discomfort as expected but no where near what I had 10 years ago. I recommend Dr. V to anyone thinking about TKR.

I've been remiss in creating this review. My only excuse is that I have been reveling in my return to good health, which comes courtesy of Dr. Vakil's care. I fell off my garage roof on June 28 of this year. That evening, Dr. Vakil was taken away from his quiet Sunday night to operate on my right knee. I was in his care throughout my recovery, until the end of October. Throughout, Dr. Vakil was positive, encouraging, proactive and clear in his messaging. Not only was his care careful and thoughtful, he was patient and personable in delivering that care. It was a comfort that I was able to depend on him at a challenging time. I would strongly recommend Dr. Vakil for his expertise and kindness.

I would recommend Dr. Jeffrey Valki to anyone that needs to have a hip replacement.

His technical skill is supreme. My replacement hip feels like a million bucks and has made my life so much better. I have NO hesitation suggesting Dr. Vakil for your hip replacement surgery.

I recently had a hip replacement in June @ the age of 51, and feel very fortunate I found Dr. Vakil. He took the time in the office to explain my xrays. By the time I left, I felt confident I was in good hands. The day of my surgery, I was up walking with a walker within 2 hrs of going to my room, and was home by lunch time the next day. My arthritic pain was immediately gone, and my operative pain well managed. By week 3, I was using a cane and walking around my neighborhood block, and week 6, felt good enough to go back to work. Prior to having the surgery, I could barely walk without taking a break d/t pain. I had back and knee pain d/t my gait and compensation with walking. I am now at the 10-11 week mark, AND I HAVE ZERO PAIN! No more back, knee or hip pain. I can walk long distances with NO PROBLEM! Chestnut Hill Hosp was great. The nursing staff, PT, food services were top notch! I truly feel Dr. Vakil gave me my life back! I have been recommending him to everyone I know!

Dr. Vakil came highly recommended to me about 5 years ago when I first noticed problems with my hip. I first went to see him approximately 2 years later & was beyond impressed by his attentiveness & obvious love for what he does as well as his quite evident interest in his patients as PEOPLE, and not as just a number. However, just to be thorough, I had decided to consult with 2 other surgeons as well, from different practices. Although they were clearly knowledgeable & successful in their profession, they did not come near to rating as highly as Dr. Vakil did in ALL aspects that one would look for in a surgeon. My surgery was in June 2021. I am blown away by the results of that surgery and am beyond grateful that I have my life back again. I had zero complications & now at 7 weeks post op, I can honestly say I have almost forgotten that I even had surgery. I have, and will continue to recommend Dr. Vakil to anyone in need of a hip replacement. He is a very skilled surgeon who loves

Dr. Vakil replaced both my knees. In our first meeting, he explained what he saw in my x-rays, why he thought I has a good age for replacement, the pluses and minuses of replacing both at the same time, and what to expect after surgery. I can't say much about the surgeries; I was knocked out. He checked in with me at the hospital and told me which exercises I should be doing the next couple weeks. I had several after-surgery visits where he answered questions. I'm very pleased with the surgeries and his role as surgeon.

I feel extremely fortunate to have found Doctor Vakil, and highly recommend him to anyone needing a hip replacement. He replaced my left hip in April and did a great job. I was up walking with a walker 3 hours after surgery without arthritic pain. Four weeks post-op I was walking 3.5 to 4.5 miles a day pain-free. My experience with Doctor Vakil and his office staff was outstanding. The Chestnut Hill Hospital pre-op and recovery room staff were very comforting and reassuring. They all stated that I was in good hands with Doctor Vakil. After surgery, I had a private room, which was clean and nice. The Nursing Staff was very attentive and caring. Also, the food was excellent. Overall, my experience was A+. A special thanks to Doctor Vakil for answering all my many questions, and his of support me and my wife during the entire process.

I want so much to bring something new to this Dr. Vakil review. Yes, experience, kindness, trust and taking the time to answer questions are so important. He has done over a thousand hip replacements and has the added "bonus" of having his own hip replaced so he feels your pain. I tried denial, drugs, considered stem cell treatments and suffered for about a year. Dr. Vakil is a modern day hero and is being used by God in miraculous ways. After total hip replacement surgery I was off the cane in less than 2 weeks. I missed a total of 4 days of work and am completely pain free!

He did my Right hip first in April 2019 so I could drive with no pain.. The pain relief was immediate.. The pain from the surgery lasted about 2-3 weeks but the 1st week is the worst obviously.. After that, it was smooth sailing.. I was able to get my L Hip done June 2020.. Now I'm totally pain free.. No more pain meds just to walk.. My pet dog is reaping the benefits..

When I was having my hip replacement Dr. Vakil was very personal and informative from the beginning appointment to the day of the surgery. On the day of my surgery Dr. Vakil came in he explained what was going to happen and never left any of my questions unanswered. I felt very comfortable going into the operating room. I would recommend him if you are looking for a orthopedic doctor. He and his team were great. My hip feels great and I'm getting around and have no pain any longer. Thank you Dr. Vakil

Dr. Vakil recently replaced my right hip at Abington Hospital. Both the new hip and Dr. Vakil have been blessings for me! I am now pain free and have mobility that I have not had for years! I did my research choosing the right orthopedic surgeon and with the many recommendations I received for Dr. Vakil, my choice was clear! I can honestly say that I was never nervous going into surgery. At every visit, he took the time to pull up a chair and sit with me explaining, teaching and offering compassionate support as if he had nothing else to do. I have always felt confident and safe in his care. There are a lot of orthopedic surgeons out there but finding one who is not only highly skilled, but is also kind and truly cares about each patient, is challenging. Dr. Vakil has all of the qualities we look for in a physician but rarely find. Thank you Dr. Vakil!!

I am massively impressed with Dr Vakil and I am just 8 weeks from full hip replacement. He diagnosed the issue, explained everything, spent as much time as needed (even though he is always going 90 miles/ hour) and was a supportive and extremely competent surgeon. I knew what to expect and felt well cared for. The staff surrounding him in Willow Grove and Abington are also amazing. I would not even think about another surgeon if I need the other hip done. My life has returned to normal after no longer even getting to the mailbox. He brings warmth, friendliness, support and fierce competence to what can be an overwhelming medical world.

i saw Dr. Vakill back in July 2019 for hip pain. Xray's determined I had hip dysplasia in my left hip which was determined to be a defect since i was an infant. While the pain was bad he said there was no immediate need to do anything. I liked the fact that he was low key and no pressure. Eventually, after discussion we decide for total hip replacement. Best decision I could make. After 5 days I was driving in 9 weeks back to cycling. He's very conservative in his approach and focused on getting you back to the quality of life that you want.

Dr Vakil was very thorough, answered all my questions about treatment options, exercise and pain control. Thoroughly explained imaging findings. Came away with copies of my X-rays.

After experiencing hip pain for years, I reached the point where pain was affecting my daily routines. An MRI revealed severe arthritis and a dr. recommended I call one of Rothman's hip surgeons. I read their profiles (they all sounded excellent) and prayed, asking the Lord for help choosing a surgeon that would be skilled and yet kind. God answered my prayer with Dr. Vakil! Along with being an excellent surgeon, he is caring, informative and honest. He performed a hip replacement on me 6 weeks ago and has followed up with me and answered all my questions very patiently. His coworkers are very professional and friendly too. My coworkers that visited me after my surgery teased me saying they didn't believe I had hip surgery because of my mobility.:) I am so thankful for Dr. Vakil , his coworkers, Rothman and Abington Hospital. The care I received was excellent and I hope if you need hip surgery that your experience will be as wonderful and successful as mine. God bless you.

Really happy that I went to Dr. Vakil. He made me feel confident that together we were making the right decision for hip replacement. I had been to him about a year and a half earlier and he said I wasn’t a candidate at that time for surgery. I knew I was going to eventually need it, but he was very honest with me. I respect his integrity. As I write this I’m six week after surgery and I feel terrific. Dr. Vakil is a very upbeat personality and a wonderful man to work with. I know I’ll need replacement again on my other hip next year, and I know who my surgeon is already. The whole experience from the minute I was admitted to the minute I was able to walk out the next day, I was treated with respect and dignity. I’ll recommend Dr. J.

Dr. Vakil is my hero! I had considerable pain and difficulty walking before surgery. Dr. Vakil was unfailingly warm and caring through my total knee replacement and post-op period. He is pleased with the result, and at this point I couldn’t be happier! I have no pain and full range of motion. It has been a much better than expected experience!

Dr. Vakil performed my hip replacement which gave me a new lease on life and restored my quality of life. It has been about six weeks since the surgery and I am doing so well and am in complete amazement everyday at how great I feel. Dr. Vakil has the credentials and experience that all doctors hope to accomplish during their career. He is my new favorite person forever. Aside from his Orthopedic Surgical prowess Dr. Vakil is a genuinely sincere and very nice man. Thank you Dr. Vakil.

I recently underwent a total knee replacement with Dr. Vakil and cannot express my gratitude and my thanks enough. Dr. Vakil is a highly gifted and trained surgeon who takes his work very seriously and whom I feel strives for satisfaction for his patients. In addition, Dr. Vakil's bedside manner goes above and beyond caring. He made me feel as though he was my friend as well as my physician by the way he spoke to me, answered my questions, the amount of time that he takes with me during my office visits and his gentle, manner in which he comforted my anxiety and my uncertainty about my surgery.

If I could give Dr. Vakil 10 stars, I would. Dr. Vakil treated me for a knee injury from an accident in 2016. He did so without surgery. This year, I fractured my patella and immediately called Dr. Vakil. Again, he was able to get me back on my feet again without surgery. He's a great listener and regardless of what I asked, he was open and honest with his answers. Dr. Vakil will always be #1 on my list of Ortho docs.

It is always said that my Doctor is the best. He/she is the most recommended physician in the hospital. No one wants to believe that the surgeon is a bum. Therefore, the phrase, "my doctor is the best" is overworked. We hope that it is true , but it is optimistic thinking or wishing. However, Dr. Vakil truly is a great orthopedic surgeon who stands above the standards of what is expected from a surgical experience.

I am a 55 year old man who had two terribly degenerated knees from Osteoarthritis (with over 40 years of practicing karate) and met with surgeon Dr. Jeffrey Vakil from The Rothman Institute to request a bilateral knee replacement surgery (yes...that is two at the same time!) Dr. Vakil was calm, pleasant and extremely knowledgeable in this procedure which immediately relaxed me. I had the surgery and was walking unassisted in 3 and 1/2 weeks, post-surgery.

I cannot have hoped for a better experience with my hip replacement surgery. When we initially met, Dr. Vakil spent as much time as I needed to answer my questions. By no means was he "selling" the surgery. He presented the facts, described the procedure and the weeks thereafter, stated that i was clearly a candidate for surgery, but did not push me. I had the surgery, and everything was exactly as he described. After surgery, his office was very helpful whenever i had a question. Awesome!

After Dr. Vakil took x-rays, an MRI, CAT scan, total body scan, aspiration, bone biopsy, and blood test, he discovered that my metal on metal hip replacement had emitted dust which caused lesions eating holes in my pelvis.Those holes caused two pelvis breaks and a broken sacrum.Dr. Vakil performed surgery replacing the metal on metal hip with a ceramic on plastic one and did bone grafts from a Cadaver to plug up the holes to rejuvenate and strengthen my pelvis.The result has been fantastic!!!

I was experiencing terrible pain in various joints, but the worst was in my right hip. I was quite distressed since the year before I had had weight loss surgery, but my hip only got worse. At Dr. Vakil's suggestion, I had physical therapy for a number of months, which did help to strengthen and prepare me for a total hip replacement. The discomfort I felt after the procedure was nothing compared to what had come before, and it went away quickly with post-surgery physical therapy. I have experienced knee pain as well, and Dr. Vakil and his PA Kevin have treated that issue as well. My hat's off to Dr. Vakil and his PA Kevin and staff who have taken such good care of me. If the good doctor ever told me that I needed the left hip replaced, I would be there in a heart beat!

This Dr. is fantastic. I received a right total knee replacement on Sept. 5th and Wednesday, at my 3 month follow-up, I was told that i could carry on with with all of my activities of daily living. walking, climbing stairs and other things that i was unable to do, i am now able to do without limitation. I had my left knee done in January, that too was a success. Dr Vakil displays a true love for what he does and it shows through everything from his bedside manner, to the finished product.

Dr. Vakil has replaced both my hips and my left knee. I plan to have him replace my right knee next year. Anytime someone tells me they are considering hip or knee replacement surgery, I strongly recommend Dr. Vakil. Here is why: By having Dr. Vakil do my surgery, and then religiously do my PT exercises, both hips and my knee are like new. I rarely even think about them because they function so well. I can even kneel! His bedside manner is excellent. He makes me feel like the only patient

I had TKR surgery on August 1 performed by Dr. Vakil. I have made an amazing recovery and I attribute that to Dr. V’s skills and overall care and concern for his patients.

Dr. Vakil gave all treatment options as the pain in my hip progressed, instead of going right to surgery.  It’s been 5 months since my left hip replacement. Today, I walk 1.5 miles without pain.  The painless walk across a parking lot or getting up off the ground from gardening puts a smile on my face when I think of the mobility I’ve gained from my new hip. Thank You, Dr. Vakil! ...and when your Mom reads this, I want to thank her, also, for raising a considerate, loving person :)

It has been 5 months since my left hip replacement.  I wasn't sure about getting surgery.  I became so used to the everyday pain when walking, sitting, kneeling and standing up, and trying to put my socks on that I would say “I don't need surgery. “ Dr. Vakil gave me complete information on all the treatment options so that I could make the decisions that were best for me, as the pain in my hip progressed.  I appreciated this instead of going right to surgery.  I just wanted to say thank you, Dr. Vakil!  Today, I can walk 1 1/2 miles without pain.  Now, when I walk across a parking lot, I don't have to first get a shopping cart to lean on.  This is a big deal for me because I can make it to the store door on my own strength. That painless walk across the parking lot puts a smile on my face, when I think about how much mobility I have gained since my surgery :)  Now, when I garden, I don’t have to worry about how I am going to get up off the ground! The online/app Force rehabilitation was a great resource for me, too.  It was always there if I forgot how to do an exercise.  Thank you once again, Dr. Vakil .  ...and when your Mom reads this, I want to thank her, also, for raising a considerate, loving person :)

Dr. Vakil is a very skilled surgeon and a wonderful, kind and attentive doctor. I had my right hip replaced using the anterior hip procedure and I am so thrilled with the results - no more limping! My surgery was a tricky one, not your usual total hip replacement due to a previous surgery that just didn't heal correctly for me. Dr. Vakil was very clear in explaining the entire procedure and how things should progress. He is the BEST, so don't hesitate to make any appointment with him!

I've been a patient of Dr. Vakil's since 2012. During that time period, I had both knees and both hips replaced. Dr. Vakil always took a conservative approach in dealing with my problems as each joint gave me trouble. He made sure that I understood and agreed with each phase of treatment as time went on. The final decision was always left up to me. I am pain free and very pleased. I would recommend Dr. Vakil to anyone who is having trouble with hip or knee pain.

Doctor Vakil has a pleasant, reassuring manner and shows great respect and care for me as his patient. The knee replacement surgery was completely successful, with the incision healing rapidly and with no complications. It has been a year since the surgery and my mobility has been fully restored. I was walking with only a cane after about a month. I still use the cane, but I am also 94 years old and use it for balance rather than to support my knee. Overall I am highly satisfied.

Awesome experience! Dr. Vakil spent a lot of time explaining everything in detail regarding total hip replacement surgery. He is an expert using the anterior approach and my incision is much smaller than I anticipated. Currently, I’m 6 weeks postop & feeling great. He is a wonderfully talented surgeon, caring and cheerful..one of the nicest docs I have ever met.

If you follow the rules, hip replacement is amazing in how quickly the effective recovery progresses to allow most daily functions to resume. Dr. Vakil was always conservative (but very informative!) in his estimates on how things would go at all stages of the process. He always let me know about all my options, from the first time I saw him about my options (PT, shots, other pain mgmt, surgery) to my most recent 8ish-weeks post-surgery follow-up visit.

Dr. Vakil took a very measured approach in leading up to my hip replacement. At all times, he made it clear what the alternatives were and where I fit along the spectrum. As an active person, he wanted to ensure that I got the most out of my existing joint before going the surgery route - all while monitoring my pain level. I had my surgery at the Abington Spine and Joint Center and was out of the hospital in less than 2 days. Dr. Vakil has a very easy going manner and a very upbeat personality.

In December 2015, Dr. Vakil replaced my 65-year-old, severely arthritic right hip. And just as he had promised, within 6 weeks I was walking pain-free and without any trace of a limp. I appreciated his skill as a surgeon, of course, but I also liked his invariably cheery personality. So when the time came for my left hip to be replaced this year, Dr. Vakil was my first -- and ONLY -- choice. And now, after another quick 6 weeks of therapy -- I have TWO perfect hips!

Dr. Vakil performed left total knee replacement surgery on me at the end of March 2106. I am a 78 year old woman who appreciated his caring ways and how he thoroughly answered all my questions and explained the procedure and post op care and therapy involved. I had tremendous results and have full range of motion. Most important to me, I finally have relief from the awful pain I experienced prior to surgery and enjoy an active life again He is conscientious and kind. Thank you, Dr. Vakil.

Dr. Vakil is awesome! He did my right total knee replacement in December and my surgery, post op and rehab all went flawlessly. Dr. Vakil takes the time to thoroughly explain everything so that you understand and explains your options while also taking the time to listen to and answer all of your questions. He is skilled, personable and caring and his enthusiasm for what he does makes him a rare gem among all the doctors I've seen on a regular basis.

I have been suffering with hip pain for years. I met with Dr. Vakil and he was attentive and understanding of my situation. I live an active lifestyle and at 51 years of age, I am not ready to slow down. Dr. Vakile answered all of my questions and let me know my options. He did not push for surgery. I felt that surgery was my best option. Dr. Vakile performed total hip replacement on me on Dec. 16 2015. It is April 9 2016 I am back in the gym and I'm going on a golf trip. Thank you Dr. Vakil!!!

I had a ski injury and due to the injury, his office scheduled me the same day I called. Everyone in the office is very professional and friendly. Dr. Vakil is the best! He's just awesome. He answered all of my questions, told me how to stay safe, and a lovely bedside manner. Dr. Vakil took a look at my x-rays and explained what happened so that I could understand. He made me feel so much better - and best of all he told me I would NOT need surgery.

I highly recommend Dr. Jeffrey Vakil, who performed a total left hip replacement for me three months ago. My hip is perfect and I am returned to full activity including daily workouts. He was professional, courteous, caring and responsive. Plus he's an all-round good guy.

Dr. Vakil's enthusiasm for his work is refreshing. His explanations of my hip replacement surgery, the likely results, and the follow-up therapy were thorough and clear. I came home (with just a cane) the next day, and six weeks later I feel great!

Competent & caring. Dr. Vakil spoke to me in terms that I understood. He thoroughly explained my condition and the procedure necessary to correct it. Dr. Vakil demonstrated patience when telling me what to expect post-op. He patiently listened to and answered all of my questions. Dr. Vakil replaced both of my knees. The procedure although painful was done without any complications. My incisions healed well and my rehabilitation is moving forward at a steady pace. I highly recommend Dr. Vakil.
