Patient Testimonials

Most professional and great surgeon. I went to physicians for 2 years and PT, etc. I came to Dr. D. My hip was replaced 3 months later and I’m a new person!!!

Dr. S. Durbhakula is amazing! 4 months after replacing my right hip he replaced the left one. With both surgeries he took his time explaining what was involved and what to expect. Everything went exactly as planned. It’s been life changing. My only regret is not having the replacements done sooner. I can’t thank Dr. Durbhakula and his wonderful staff enough!

Dr. Durbhakula and his team at Suburban Hospital could not have been more competent, efficient, empathetic and knowledgeable for my recent hip replacement. I walked out the same day and began on stairs at home when I got there. I was able to stop pain meds in two days and I am steadily improving. I look forward to rehabbing and getting back to 100% with the hip so I can move on with this same team for a knee replacement in 6 months or so. Thanks to Dr. D and the entire Johns Hopkins Suburban team!

Dr. Durbhakula is THE BEST! his mastery of my hip surgery was tremendous. He is so positive and reassuring. I'm walking without any limp or any of the old pain. Thank you Dr. D

Dr. Sri far Durbhakula did a terrific job replacing both of my knees. He even made the incisions slightly off center at my request so that I might be able to kneel again. It worked! I can kneel even on hard surfaces which is great for gardening and playing with my granddaughter. Being pain free is wonderful. Glad I did it and glad that the surgeries/ rehab are behind me. Thanks Dr. D!

Dr. Durbhakula and his staff are fantastic! He was very focused on me and my care, answering all my questions and explaining the entire process. He replaced my left knee in June and 3 months later I have no pain and am back to my water aerobics and exercise bike. Now for the right knee!

Dr. Sridhar Durbhakula is a fabulous surgeon. He cam highly recommended from friends who have had to have their hips/knees replaced. Myhip replacement surgery went so well, I went home the same day, despite being given the choice to stay overnight in the hospital. The doctor and his staff made sure to check on me throughout the initial healing phase and followed up with appointments to ensure that everything was healing well. The surgery was life changing. No more constant pain and limited movement. I am doing everything I did before and doing it better than I have in years. The anterior approach meant I had no movement restrictions from the very beginning. This helped a great deal, as I didn’t have to worry about moving the wrong way and having a dislocation when I started recovering. I can’t say enough about how great Dr. Durbhakula is.

Dr. Durbhakula did a great job replacing my knee, had I known how easy this was going to be I would have done it years ago. He also is great to talk to during all of our post-op appointments. He explains everything, takes the time to understand your concerns and answer all of your questions. Unfortunately, I could only give him 5 Stars.

Dr. Durbhakula is a skilled surgeon. My hip replacement was 1-3-22. Followed be PT twice a week for 2 1/2 month. Recovery was on schedule and I'm now playing pretty intense pickleball without any problems. I (75 y.o.) am very appreciative of Dr. Durbhakula and his excellent staff for improving my quality of life.

Dr. Durbhakula is an exceptional surgeon and has replaced both my hips over the last three years. Not only is he extremely witty, but his bedside manner gives the patient a strong sense of confidence and comfort that he will take care of them. Extremely professional, I have referred several friends to him.
