Mark Shekhman, MD, FAAOS, FRCSC

I was diagnosed with arthritis in my hip joints back in 2022. By early 2025, I had to stop walking our dogs, which was heartbraking. And by April, 2025, I could barely walk at all. I went to see Dr. Shekhman in early May, and he explained that my left hip was "bone-on-bone," with the cartilage having completely deteriorated. The only treatment was surgery--a total hip replacement. I had the surgery on August 26th, and was blown away by the professionalism and positive "bed-side" manner of every single person involved. I never had surgery before this, and was feeling nervous about it. But within minutes of arriving, and interacting with the staff at the medical facility, it was clear every person knew their job extremely well, and had done this countless times.

I have been a patient of Dr. Shekhman’s for nearly 10 years and during that time he has done 3 complete joint replacements on me - 2 hip, 1 knee. He is a knowledgeable surgeon with a professional, confident, direct yet caring and approachable manner. I appreciate the fact that he gets to know his patients and listens to any concerns or questions they may have. His staff is always helpful, thoughtful and supportive.

I am very please with the out come of my total right hip being replaced. I have been able to increase my activity levels. I would recommend Dr Shekman anytime for a hip replacement.

I found Dr. Shekhman and his office thorough, kind and efficient. He explained the surgery, expectations and clear instructions regarding Physical Therapy follow up. Surgery and Physical Therapy went well. I am very pleased.

After years of gradually increasing pain and immobility I turned to Dr. Shekhman for help. And now, after replacing my two hip joints, he and his skilled and compassionate team have given me back my life! I am incredibly grateful to have a chance to resume physical activity without debilitating arthritic limitations. Throughout the whole process, from my first consultation and through surgery and rehabilitation, he has been an experienced, kind, and reassuring presence, ready to provide guidance and to answer any questions. I recommend him without reservation or hesitation. He is the best!
