Patient Testimonials

Dr. Elsharkawy is the best Ortho surgeon you could have. I had 2 prior opinions before I came to his practice and he is not one to jump in surgery. He will exhaust all conservative measures before he opts for doing surgery.

A great experience with this doctor. Results are coming along fine!

Everyone was great.

Dr Elsharkawy is amazing. He put me at ease on my first appointment. He went over my X-rays to show me the cause of my hip pain (bone on bone). This also affected my right knee which had a torn meniscus.
Within 2 weeks I scheduled my surgery. After 7 weeks I no longer have that intense crippling pain in the hip and the knee pain is gone as well.
The hospital and staff all worked as a team to ensure that I was comfortable and in no pain after surgery. I would not hesitate doing this or any other procedure at Texas Center For Joint Replacement. On that first visit, I met other patients in the waiting room that were pleased with the results and came back for other surgery. Texas Center For Joint Replacement has an outstanding record and that is why patients come long distances from their home to have the procedure done here.

I was very impressed. Explained everything without talking down to me. Provided all the FMLA paperwork, Surgery was smooth and my recovery process has been better than expected.

I was attended to very well. They were very kind and helpful. I have to go back Dec. 10th 2019. For the next knee surgery. I want the exact same team of people working on me the next time.

Dr. Elsharkawy is a kind, caring surgeon who is very competent and particular. Good in a surgeon, but he also listens to what his patient says —not always is this the case with surgeons. I have been very pleased with his skill, knowledge and caring. I would recommend him to anyone needing hip or knee surgery.

Everyone was very professional and courteous. I learned more about my current condition than I had from my previous physician. Got good advice and had future options explained thoroughly. Recommend highly.

Great consult on knee replacement. Would recommend

Professional service across the board.

My 5 Star experience came from a smooth, accurate check in and having updates on when I would be seen and then a pleasant detailed visit with dr. Elsharkawy who completely answered all my questions. Being a long term medical rep, he is a top notch practitioner who took a conservative approach with me

Great Doctor and Nurses. Very attentive to making me as comfortable as possible.

The Texas Center for Joint Replacement and Dr. Elsharkawy were fantastic! One of the best patient experiences I’ve had in a very long time. Every single staff member was polite and professional and Dr. Elsharkawy was very thorough and had a very calming ‘bed side’ manner. He knew right away what was causing my pain and I feel confident that I’m on the right track to recovery. I definitely recommend Dr. El and The Texas Center for Joint Replacement.

I was able to get an appointment with Dr. Elsharkawy within 2 weeks. They were very thorough and my options were explained in detail. I would recommend them to my family and friends..

Had a hip revision done by Dr. Elsharkaway. He did a great job and so far I’ve had good results. He’s very professional and always took the time to explain things and answer any questions I had. He even gave me pictures of the surgery showing the new parts (head and liner). Will definitely use him again for any future joint issues.

Everyone was so nice and they take there time with you go over everything
Just a outstanding team. This was my very first surgery. I was scared. But you all made everything good and Dr. Karin Elsharkawy made me feel really good about the whole surgery. Like they say you get on a plane and put all your trust in the pilot and you get there and land safely. Dr. Elsharkawy was my pilot and all was safe. Thank you all
THANK YOU Dr. ELSHARKAWY. For getting me through the surgery safley😁

After my session with Dr. Elsharkawy I was impressed with the caring way he explained the knee replacement process. The staff is also very caring.

Dr Elsharkawy and his staff are always extremely professional as well as being very thorough and efficient! Yesterday Taylor was my nurse and he is amazing! He covered every possible piece of info I needed post-op so thoroughly. I couldn’t ask any questions as he covered them all before I had a chance to ask :) Additionally, Dr Elsharkawy has a wonderful “bedside manner”. He’s always so patient and grateful to see me, he’s very humble. He has ensured I’ve been well taken care of every step of the way via post op of my left knee replacement. So, in about three weeks he’ll replace my right knee next... Looking forward to continued wonderful care!

Was such a pleasure speaking with Dr Elsharkawy. He is very courteous and takes his concerns for the patient very seriously. Takes his time and didn’t feel rushed like trying to get to next patient. Highly recommend him, trust is so important and he portrays this on every level. Thank You Dr. Elsharkawy

Karim Elsharkawy did an amazing job on my right knee replacement 15 Oct 2018. I am back to work and walking without limp or pain. Thank You very much.

Dr. Elsharkawy did a wonderful job! He replaced one of my knees and six weeks later he replaced my other knee. He was very thorough in explaining the procedure and the process. I am so grateful that I found Dr. Elsharkawy. I had reverted confidence in him. Things happened just like he said they would. My secret to successful knee replacements was, first of all, choosing Dr. Elsharkawy, and secondly, doing exactly what he and his staff said to do for rehab. I highly recommend Dr. Elsharkawy at Texas Joint Replacement Center at 6020 W. Parker Rd.

Dr elsharkawy was enjoyable to talk with and he was very informative about the knee replacement procedure.

My hip replacement surgery was a success. Dr. Elsharkawy is very thorough, the staff is friendly and courteous. I will recommend Dr. Elsharkawy to family and friends.

Expert surgeon , Compassionate person.
After having been told that I was too high risk for hip replacement surgery by two surgeons in another state, I went to Dr. Elsharkawy on the recommendation of a friend. Dr. Elsarkawy acknowledged that I was high risk, but also that I was unable to overcome the factors that made me high risk due to the deterioration of my hip. I had been in constant pain and depressed for a year and a half.
Dr. Elsharkawy and his team replaced my right hip. Within days of the surgery I was off of pain medication and was walking with a walker. Dr. Elsharkawy gave me a new lease on life. His knowledge and experience of and joint replacement are unparalleled However, it was his compassion and kindness that most impressed me.
If you are needing a joint replaced, I highly recommend Dr. Elsharkawy and his team. He sav d my life.

I recently had a hip replacement at Texas Center For Joint Replacement. My surgeon was Karin Elsharkawy. He really did a great job and I am so pleased . I have no more pain it really feel good to be pain free. I recommend if anyone is having hip or knee surgery go see Doctor Elsharkawy.

I would recommend Dr. Elsharkawy for anyone needing knee or joint replacement. Listens to your concerns and gives you lots of options other than surgery.

My appointments are always friendly and professional.

Dr. Elsharkawy is an excellent doctor and he is assisted by a great professional and courteous staff! My wife was taken to the emergency room three times with severe pain (in two different big hospitals in Dallas). Even after X-ray, CT and MRI exames they kept sending her home, prescribing only some pain medicine that did not work at all! After ten days without being able to move we were referred to Dr. Elsharkawy. It took only a few minutes of examination and he was able to pinpoint the cause of the severe pain and prescribe the right medicine.

Dr. Elsharkawy was amazing.This was my first time visit and I was very please because Dr.Elsharkary listened ,and explained why happened and gave me the instruction very clearly what i should do to get better. I would recommend with family if needed. Thank you

Dr Elsharkawy was amazing. This was my first visit. He listened to me, he explained everything to me very factually, he was extremely personable and professional. I walked away with a clear understanding of my condition and a plan I could live with. Thank you!

I recommend Dr. Karim Elsharkawy as a competent and caring physician. I had severe hip pain from a bad fall a year earlier causing a broken hip and arm. Another doctor repaired my hip with a plate and screws, but I developed AVN causing my hip bone to die and collapse. The hardware painfully protruded into the socket. Dr. Elsharkawy gave me hope and successfully removed the old hardware and gave me a brand new hip. I now walk with no pain! I thank God for Dr. Elsharkawy and his wonderful staff.

Dr. Elsharkawy practices in Plano, Tx. I needed an emergency hip replacement and he was “on duty” when I came into the hospital! Thank goodness... Dr. Elsharkawy is a skilled surgeon, kind and friendly and I highly recommend him! He always takes the time needed to explain and answer questions! I am so grateful he did my surgery!!

Dr, Karim Elsharkawy practices with the Texas Center for Joint Replacement in Plano, TX. He recently performed a total right knee replacement for me and 6 weeks post-op I am doing very well!

Dr Elsharkawy now practices in Allen and Plano, TX. He is part of Texas Center For Joint Replacement. He recently completed a total replacement of my left hip . I am completely satisfied with the experience and have had no complications during my recovery.

Dr. Elsharkawy replaced my hip February 2018. I'm back to my normal activities now 3 months later. He is an excellent doctor and I have recommended him to all the people I know needing joint work. He listens to you and explains everything so that you understand what to expect. Very charming personality as well.

I was in an automobile accident and the hospital called Dr. Elsharkawy to do my hip and femur surgery. I could not be more pleased at my good fortune to be under his care. His skills are of the highest quality, and he also is compassionate and attentive. My follow-up appointments have all been filled with good information and attention from the entire staff at Texas Joint Replacement.
