Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Bilateral Hip Replacement a year apart
I had my right hip replaced in 2023 and then my left hip replaced in 2024. The recovery process for my rt hip was slow because my left hip was not strong enough. However, after having my rt hip recover for a year, it was strong enough to support a quick recovery with my left hip. Plus I had physical therapy on both hips after the rt hip replacement. So I was using a cane 1 month after the left hip replacement and shortly thereafter, was walking without a cane.

Second Go-'round
Dr. Ezzet replaced my left knee successfully in August, 2012. He replaced my right knee in September, 2024. Both surgeries were successful. I have at least 95% use of my left knee (kneeling is still a little dicey), and expect a similar result with my right. The physical therapist I use has commented that I am making excellent progress, as Dr. Ezzet's patients typically do.

Back to 100%
Dr. Ezzet did bi-lateral knee replacement on me in March of this year. I was determined to go from a hobbling mess back to my old, active self as a result of this procedure. Dr. Ezzet came highly recommended and now I am throwing my recommendation into the mix. By August I was nearly pain free and my range of motion is not only knee replacement normal (120 degrees), I’m back to normal-normal (135 degrees)! I feel like I have a new lease on life. He was up front with me about what needed to happen, gave me realistic expectations, and was patient with all my questions. I could not be more satisfied with the results.

Bilateral TKR
my experience was exemplary. i was well informed by dr. ezzet and his fellow about what to expect. i was grateful for aftercare and was never treated anything but kindly by drs. and staff. i’m a little over halfway into recovery and i’m very happy. haven’t been able to walk any distance for years, and stairs were torture. i can do these now with no pain. follow up pt has been likewise helpful. nothing but gratitude here

Dangerous doctor
if you want a good result from your hip replacement, do not go to Kace Ezzet! Two weeks after my hip replacement, I started to have really significant problems. I called the office and said nothing was wrong. Nothing showed up on the x-ray at urgent care, but my car continually got much much worse. It turned out the initial problem was a symptom the surgeon having given me MRSA during the procedure. I called or emailed just about every day over the next two weeks I asked to be seen and they refused. Another two weeks passed and I was horribly ill. I finally went to the ER and the emergency room dock was the first person who listened to me. After talking to me for two minutes he told me he was admitting me. It turns out I had a raging infection. The white count in my hip was 110,000. If that got into my bloodstream I would not be writing in this review. I was stupid enough to let it open me back up again to replace the hardware. I now have constant pain. Stay away from this guy.

Dr Ezzet review conflicted
Dr. Ezzet great at getting business, horrible at outpatient and after care from surgery that cost 130k, and great at dismissing patients to other doctors and institutions to cover up for his mistakes and lack of patient care!!! Horrible bedside manner… hmmm, hmmmm, hmmm and leave basically his follow up care!

complete knee replacement
Extremely gifted surgeon! Great bedside manner- everything explained in a very clear /understandable manner. Knew exactly what to expect from start to finish of my rehab. Was back to golf in 4 weeks with no pain. My highest recommendation. I will probably need my other knee done in a couple of years and he is the Doctor I will insist on.

Scripps ranked #13 in Orthopedics for a reason.
You go to the best to get the best. I would consider Dr. Ezzet among a top orthopedic surgeons. Not only the skill of the Doctor, but the team he surrounds himself with are also top-notch. Could not be more satisfied about my experience with Total Knee Replacement.

Both hips
Dr. Exert performed a hip replacement on both my hips two years apart a number of years ago and I am better than “new.” One cannot find a finer doctor or a nicer man. He also performed two knee replacements on my mother, who is still walking at almost 104! Our family has the highest respect for Dr.Ezet.
