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.

Total Hip Replacement
Excellent doctor. Very caring, informative, knowledgeable, and professional. From my first visit, through surgery and post operative care I could not be happier with Dr. Risk. Highly recommend Dr. Risk and will definitely use him again if needed.

Diagnosis & Solution for Patellar Clunk Syndrome
After a total left knee replacement at Fondren, I developed 'Patellar Clunk Syndrome'. I should have gone to Beaumont Bone & Joint as they did my right knee replacement almost 10 years ago and it has performed superbly. Anyway, for the left knee I decided to not go back to Fondren and instead have BB&J see what the problem was and offer a solution. Dr. Rizk agreed to see me and promptly diagnosed the condition. After physical therapy didn't resolve the condition, he performed arthroscopic surgery to remove the significant scar tissue causing the problem and that has solved the issue. I can now ride a bike, walk up and down stairs, eliminated pain and has generally made life much better. It was a pleasure working with Dr. Rizk, he was quite understanding and I can highly recommend his practice.

I had a total knee replacement with Dr. Rizk and the surgery went way better than expected. He is an excellent surgeon with top notch bedside manners. He is very caring and kind. My whole experience from preop office visits to post op care was exceptional. Education was an important aspect of my care and his office staff was at the top of their skill, answering any questions I had. I would highly recommend Dr. Rizk for any orthopedic needs.

I had both of my knees replaced by Dr. Wagdy Rizk on September 20, 2011. He did an outstanding job for me resulting in no complications what so ever. It’s been over nine years since my surgery and I haven’t had any problems to date. No pain, soreness or discomfort at any time since my surgery & required physical therapy. Over the last nine years I’ve had my scheduled routine follow-up appointments with Dr. Rizk with no concerns to report. As a result of the success of my surgery, I would recommend Dr. Rizk to anyone considering and/or requiring knee replacement surgery.

I worked over 46 years at a physically demanding job, but after I retired my hip started hurting. It got to the point where I couldn't take my morning walks. Soon the pain was simply intolerable. Something had to be done. I found Dr. Rizk and got evaluated and became a candidate for hip replacement. I dont have the debilitating pain, and reduction in motion from the original condition, and my quality of life is restored. Thank you Dr. Rizk! #grateful #healthy

I highly recommend Doctor Risk. He performed total hip replacement surgery on December 11, 2017 and i am overjoyed . I was in constant pain for years and I was getting no relief. Even pain medications no longer helped. He and his staff prepared me for an operation I was totally afriad to have done. I was treated so exceptionally well and my recovery has been nothing short of my own private miracle !! My entire experience was awesome and I tell everyone, that cares to listen, my story.

Dr. Rizk did my knee replacement surgery a year ago. Within a few weeks I was walking again and started to ride my bike again. His follow up appointments were very informative. He checked the range of movement and answered all my questions. He listened to me and provided information about what I should expect. I just did my one-year follow up today and I am very pleased with what I am able to do. I would and have recommended Dr. Rizk to others.

On,07/03/17, I had my left Knee replacement surgery done by Dr. Rizk at Beaumont Baptist Memorial Hospital located in Beaumont, TX. It is my opinion that Dr. Rizk is a very skilled and talented Orthopedic Surgeon and I feel very fortunate to have such a talented doctor in the Beaumont area. This was my second knee replacement by Dr. Rizk. I had my right knee replacement 5 years ago.
