I was referred to Dr Bawa as a second opinion for a total hip replacement. I was in denial and I asked him some tough questions. His honesty and unwavering confidence, along with his expertise in robotic assistance gave me the confidence and trust to have Dr. Bawa perform the surgery on my hip....

Simply put, Dr. Bawa is a superior surgeon. My case is the gold standard for what happens if you choose the wrong doctor. I had total knee replacement on January 8, 2019 and it was a fiasco. I chose the wrong doctor. The doctor implanted my knee with an off brand knee pulled from hospital stock. It did not fit my anatomy nor did the parts match. After three months the knee became loose and so painful I can not describe it. By the time I went to Dr. Bawa, on March 4, 2020, the knee was unstable and the pain extraordinary. Because of Covid, I had to wait for my replacement surgery. On June 17, 2020 the first knee was removed and Dr. Bawa reconstructed my knee in a three hour surgery. Because of the damage the first doctor caused, I was expecting the second surgery would be worse as to recovery pain than the first knee, but it wasn't. Unlike the first surgery, there was very little pain and rapid progress. I don't even feel the knee implanted by Dr. Bawa. It fits perfectly and is so smooth it feels like my knee when I was 20.
I am currently four months out from the surgery and free to do anything I wish. It's fantastic! All due to Dr. Bawa's skills.
If you need help, go to Dr. Bawa. You can trust he will give you superior surgical expertise, service and general care. I have referred several of my friends already. Enough said!

I had my hip replaced by Dr Bawa back in July 2020. I am so happy with the result , my hips are even and that pain is gone! The down time for a couple of weeks was hard but after that I quickly went from walker to cane and walking on my own in 3 weeks. I am back to my weights and cardio, I am ever so grateful to him for putting my hip together....I highly recommend him, he also has a wonderful and caring manner that I appreciate very much in a doctor!

Dr. Bawa did a complete hip replacement for me about 4 months ago. Before the surgery I was in constant pain whenever I played sports - tennis, softball, golf. I was back to playing tennis and golf about 10 weeks post surgery and I feel great. Most people I play with can't believe it when I tell them I just had a hip replacement in early March. Dr. Bawa and his whole team are excellent - from the pre-op preparation to the post-op follow through I always felt well-informed and knew what to expect every step of the way. Highly recommend him for your joint replacement surgery!

My neighbor had a knee replacement and was happy with Dr Bawa, so I went to him for my knee replacement. I was very pleasantly surprised at his professionalism, demeanor, and skill. His entire staff was very helpful and courteous. Dr. Bawa showed a lot of concern during every office visit and I would recommend him to anyone needing a knee replacement. Lorne Starks, Simi Valley

Dr. Bawa did a revision of my hip replacement. I have had a lot of problems with it in the past.
It is now 2 and a half month since surgery and I’m doing really well. I was able to walk without any kind of help 2 days after surgery and I walked the stairs after 1 week. I didn’t need any strong pain killers (no opioids at any time). I stopped taking meds after 2 weeks.
Finally I’m able to walk without feeling the prosthesis.
I’m so thankful.

10/24/2019 Second hip replacement.
11/09/2019 First two weeks of recovery are miserable
11/28/2019 I'm back to work full time, walking almost normally, no pain meds, going on long walks, back to swimming, doing at home self PT. Thanks!
12/07/2019 My goal was to reduce or eliminate hip pain and limited range of motion. I'm still healing, but already pain is reduced, and range of motion is greatly improved. My ligaments and tendons became accustomed to the ROM limits imposed by my arthritis. Now the joints are no longer limiting, I have to stretch out the tendons and ligaments.
01/11/2020 Just returned from 3 hours of tennis. I'm back to my regular weekly routine: 3 miles swimming, 16 miles biking, 30 minute morning workout, tennis on the weekends, besides my full time job. I'm very pleased with the result. The preparation, procedure, and follow up care where all top notch, I highly recommend Dr. Bawa and team for this surgery. Also, I chose Doctor's Choice for at home post op care, their staff is excellent.

Unfortunately, I have a long history with orthopedics, especially the knee. I had a total knee replacement from Dr. Bawa in June. Cannot say enough about what a great doc he is! Dr. Bawa responds to any questions or concerns almost immediately! His positive demeanor is contagious. I am an avid tennis player and skier. I was on the tennis court after three months!

Had both my hips replaced by Dr. Bawa in 2019 (3 months apart). Was walking within an hour of getting out of surgery and unassisted within less than a week. First one done on a Friday and by Monday I picked up a dime unassisted off the floor (wasn't able to do that in past 2-3 years). Zero complications on both and would highly recommend Dr. Bawa to anyone/everyone. All parts of the communication process (before, during, after) always made me feel like I was well taken care of. Two months after second surgery, I was at USC game (Coliseum) and climbed stairs from field all the way up to top WITH NO PAIN!! This is NOT a surgery to put -off due to fear as it is a Piece-of-Cake!!!....with Dr. Bawa!!

Dr. Bawa is professional, kind and caring. He is an excellent physician and highly skilled surgeon.

I highly recommend Dr. Bawa for treatment or replacement of painful hips and knees. He and his staff are the absolute BEST!

I had a total right knee replacement done by Dr. Bawa in May 2020. Dr. Bawa displayed exceptional dedication to his work, recognizing the tremendous importance and responsibility for the surgery he performed on my knee. Additionally, he has been very supportive in my post surgery recovery. He always responses to my questions with a very positive attitude. These efforts are commendable and contributed to the success of my knee replacement. Thank you Dr. Bawa and staff of a "job well done" .................... as usual !!

Dr. Bawa and his entire staff was AMAZING from start to finish. From the first appointment, scheduling the surgery, surgery, recovery, disability paperwork and post-op follow ups, I cannot say enough to express my complete satisfaction with the whole process. Dr. Bawa fully explained the robot-assisted surgery. The staff made sure the EDD paperwork was properly and completely filled out. They made sure I was as comfortable as could be after surgery. They even continued to check in with me to see how I was doing.
I feel like brand new! I haven’t been able to walk correctly for years due to a deteriorating right hip brought on from a long-ago drunk driver wreck. I received my new hip June 11th, 2020 and was out walking, hiking, exercise biking and SLEEPING much better by the end of July! I returned to work with no restrictions by the end of August.
Thank you so much Dr. Bawa and staff! You’ve made my quality of life so much better!

Dr, Bawa is the best! Not only is he highly skilled and personable, but his response time is phenomenal in the event you need to reach him. Had a left knee replacement done last August, right knee replacement done in December. On Feb. 14th, I fell into a large hole at the beach, emailed Dr Bawa 4 PM Friday, he was on the phone with me at 5 PM Friday,needed a STAT MRI and revision surgery, over 100 stitches. 5 stars for him and his pro staff!

I had a hip replacement in December and Dr Bawa could not have been better. He's extremely knowledgeable and professional, and besides that he's a good guy. He uses a robotic system to assist with the surgery. He follows up with all his patients on-line for almost two months and in the office he calmly stays with you until he's answered all your questions to your satisfaction. I understand that he was recruited out of med school by S.C. Orthopedic Institute (SCOI) and that he was tops in his class - couldn't expect any more from your doctor than those qualifications and personal bed-side manner.

Dr. Bawa is smart, helpful, and skilled. I had a hip replacement on 11/7. We were working around a back issue as well, and I've come thru the process with not only a new hip but a better back. I'm thankful to have had a doctor listen well and see a global picture and not just fix the hip. Recovery is rough for a few days, but then life goes back to "normal" very quickly!

Dr. Bawa replaced my left knee in May, 2019 and replaced my right knee in August 2019. Both operations were done without any problems and I am currently on the road to total recovery. Dr. Bawa instilled a sense of calm to ease my concerns and followed up the surgeries with office visits and phone calls . His professional attitude and personal display of patient care is fully appreciated. I cannot say enough to praise him and fully recommend him to all future knee replacement patients

Having the surgery was the best thing that's happened to me, I was 44 walking with a cane. Now I'm riding bikes and walking the kids to school.
I highly recommend Dr Bawa. He's passionate about his craft and the people he surrounds himself with are the best at what they do. You can't go wrong.
