Patient Testimonials

Outstanding Outcome from Hip Surgery

Dr. Durbhakula did fantastic work replacing my hip with the direct anterior approach using the Hana table at Suburban Hospital. Since my surgery at age 61, I've earned a fourth degree black belt in Okinawan Karate. Seeing no problems at age 65 and I continue to practice Karate. I could barely walk before my operation. My strength and range of motion has returned to normal - maybe even better. I couldn't imagine a better outcome to the surgery Dr. Durbhakula performed on my hip.

Excellent Orthopedic Doctor

I highly recommend Dr Durbhakula. He always listens and responds to your health complaints. He’s provided the correct treatment for me from the first visit. I’m feeling so much better and able to move much better under his care.

Great surgeon

Dr. D and his team did a fabulous job with my knee. I had a robotic knee replacement and I was home just hours later. By two weeks I was off the cane and medications. Now I’m back to hiking and walking 18 holes of golf. This was an outstanding experience and I’ve been to a lot of physicians over the years. -DF

Excellent Care & Treatment

I've seen Dr. Durbhakula two times this year for treatment of my knee due to lack of meniscus tissue. He is very thorough in his explanation of the problem and protocols for treatment, even offering alternative solutions. He didn't rush either appointment despite his heavy case load. I am so grateful to have found him & OrthoBethesda.

I just love my new knee. The doctor was aswsome in assessing how I would respond to surgery, and the progress was fantastic. My knee was 100 percent in 4 months. Igo each year just to make sure I havn't broken anything up because my life is so active at 65. And in general, he's great to interact with, he's a realist, and just charming as can be!

Dr. Durbhakula is an amazing person. He is also an amazing doctor. He has helped our family for years. He has operated on both my parents and my husband. He is a top notch joint replacement surgeon. Trust me I have seen a lot of doctors. Nobody betas Dr. Durbhakula. I recommend him for any hip or knee problems you might have.

Dr. D did just an amazing job on my robotic partial knee replacement surgery. I could not be happier with my outcome. I have no pain and I am back to hiking, tennis and skiing. Job well done to Dr. D and his awesome team over at OrthoBethesda! I am recommending you to anyone with knee problems.

Dr. Durbhakula is an excellent and through doctor. He always takes extra time to explain everything so clearly. His bedside manner is awesome! He revised one knee done by another surgeon and then he did my other knee robotically. With the robotic surgery, I went home the same day! I couldn’t be happier with my outcomes. Great doctor, great team and great surgery! I give him a perfect rating! And I love the practice. They are all great doctors.

Very satisfied as always
