Dr. Bawa also treats patients who require revision hip or knee replacements and those who have had a previous surgery or deformity requiring complex joint replacement surgery. He specializes in robotic-assisted anterior hip replacement, total knee replacement, and partial knee replacement surgery. By using cutting edge computer-assisted technologies, minimally invasive techniques, and protocols specifically tailored to each patient he is able to not only relieve his patients of their pain but also restore them to their previous level of function—or better.
