Michael Blankstein, MD, MSc, FRCSC, Orthopedic Surgeon

After years of Chronic pain and going one every pain medication known to man. I finally got my Left hip replaced August of 2025. I'm a young mother of 2 boys and my hip was deteriorating fast, I had to do something. Blankstein was very upfront about what I needed to do, to come out on the other side with no problems. Which meant quitting smoking and loosing weight. My Left Hip had gone through so much trauma the whole leg was shorter. Blankstein made light work to my years of pain and not sleeping. Recovery was a cake walk. Again nothing touches pain like Chronic pain. At my four months appt. I told him I'd do it all over again! Thank you for giving my partner and our boys back a very adventurous Angel!!!

After years of horrible bone in bone pain I decided to have my knee replaced. Dr. Blankstein walked me through all the ins and outs of surgery with a very kind and understanding and compassionate manor. I am so happy I had my knee replacement done and couldn’t be happier with the results. So if you are sitting on the fence as to go through it or not, don’t hesitate to go see him

I cannot say enough, about what a positive experience this has been. If you're on the fence--DO IT! I had a total hip replacement, 4 months ago. I was walking the halls the same day, and all the pain associated with arthritis was instantly gone. My healing and rehabilitation has been a breeze. Dr. Blankstein is top shelf as a surgeon, and is very down-to-earth. No question was unimportant. His support staff, Tammy and Jenn have been equally helpful.

Dr. Blankstein has replaced both my hips. I had the left one done from the posterior in 2017and the right one done from the anterior in 2021. Both hip replacements were done excellently. Recovery was as expected and with physical therapy after both I am walking and doing all my desired activities with no pain or limping. Both legs are equal in length. I am very pleased with the results and enthusiastically recommend Dr. Blankstein for these surgeries. I especially recommend the anterior replacement procedure because the recovery is amazingly easy.

I had a total hip replacement January 26th. My surgery was the first scheduled of the day, and I walked into my house. Less than eight hours later. I experienced no hip pain after the surgery -only muscular discomfort from having surgery. I took the entire recommended recovery time of 3 months - and a full 7-8 months later I have no pain, complaints or issues. Highly recommend Dr Blankstein, and thank him for fine work. Cannot believe that I am walking without pain after so long.
