Overview

Dr. Andrew Wassef is a nationally recognized, fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon and a leader in robotic joint replacement. He specializes in hip and knee replacements, minimally-invasive approaches, and complex revision surgeries—including performing the world’s first robotic hip revision. His focus on tissue-sparing techniques and precision-guided care helps his patients recover with less pain and greater confidence.

Patients consistently highlight Dr. Wassef’s expertise, but also the way he makes them feel—heard, informed, and genuinely cared for. He’s known for explaining every step clearly and delivering outcomes that restore both mobility and peace of mind. His team is equally praised for their professionalism, warmth, and seamless support throughout the process.

Fluent in English and Spanish, Dr. Wassef brings clarity, compassion, and innovation to every case. Outside the OR, he’s teaching, chasing his young kids, or staying at the forefront of surgical robotics.
