What We Treat

Conditions We Specialize In

From early-stage arthritis to advanced joint degeneration, Dr. Shahrestani provides comprehensive care — surgical and non-surgical — tailored to each patient's goals.

01
Hip Arthritis
Hip osteoarthritis causes cartilage breakdown, leading to pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. We offer cortisone, PRP, and robotic hip replacement.
02
Knee Arthritis
Bone-on-bone knee pain doesn't always require surgery. We explore every non-surgical option before recommending robotic knee replacement.
03
Second Opinion
Told you need knee or hip surgery? Get an honest second opinion. Dr. Shahrestani exhausts every non-surgical option before ever recommending an operation.
04
Joint Pain & Stiffness
Chronic joint pain from bursitis, tendinitis, or early arthritis can often be managed with targeted injections and physical therapy.
05
Hip Dysplasia
Abnormal hip socket development can accelerate joint wear and lead to early arthritis. Dr. Shahrestani provides expert evaluation and individualized treatment — from joint preservation to replacement.
06
Diabetic Orthopedic Care
Diabetes significantly impacts joint health, healing, and surgical risk. Dr. Shahrestani has specialized expertise managing diabetic patients through hip and knee arthritis treatment — balancing blood sugar, infection risk, and recovery with the individualized care diabetic patients require.
