I had an accident in 1989 and they flew me to Pittsburgh to see Dr. Mears, I broke my femur and knee in several places. Dr. Mears saw me and performed hip and knee surgery and till this day 2025 my knee and hip is doing great. He told me eventually down the line I would need a knee and hip replacement. I just had a hip replacement in 2023, knee still doing great. Thank you Dr. Mears
Dr Mears replaced my knee 16 years ago, I still have no problems with it he was a dream to find back then. Now he is retired and I need the other knee replaced and am so afraid of getting a new surgeon because I don’t know if today’s surgeons are as competent as Dr Mears. If anyone out there reading this could recommend a good surgeon please let me know Thank you Dr Mears and hope your retirement is a great one
Had my total left hip revision done by Dr Mears on 8-26-11. He smashed my left femur to get an extremely loose prosthesis out which was uncalled for & I almost lost my life. Very unprofessional. Til this day I’m falling a lot. Left leg is shorter than my right. One of my falls I broke the top of my left bone above the joint. Been getting opinions by almost every orthopedic surgeon in Allegheny County since the revision. No one will touch me because I’m a high risk patient. Dr Mears almost let me bleed out during surgery.

after 2 revision surgeries for a hip replacement my mom died under his care if I could leave a 0 I would
Hip replacement 2019, Shadyside. He's old school temperament, but excellent in what he does. His assistant was very rude and could care less and said things I didn't like. She's sort of young, but past her prime. Needs to get out of his practice. But I'm sure she's great assistant to him. Operating staff not empathic, sort of cold. But I would go to him again regardless. He has many years of knowlege.
I have had two hip replacements with Dr Mears and he is top notch! He is thorough, takes time to explain & answer questions and has the sweetest bedside manner! His pain management team during my stay was top notch as well!
Past his prime. Mom had an infection and he took out too much of her hip to reinsert a new one and she’s wheelchair bound now. He thought that was a good enough decision because she’s old. Surgery was haphazard and unplanned. He is past his prime for sure.
I developed bilateral progressive osteoarthritis of both hips. A terrible condition. I was extremely fortunate to have had a friend have his surgery with Dr Mears. I was examined and he determined I needed to have both hips undergo replacement surgery. If you read Dr Mears’ career accomplishments you will realize how fortunate you would be to have him operate on you as I did. I elected to have staged surgeries. I had my second yesterday. Dr Mears is incredible. His empathy, bedside manner and calm demeanor make this difficul... read more
Dr. Mears performed a minimally invasive total hip replacement in October 2019. Three weeks postop I developed severe pain and difficulty ambulating. Dr. Mears was insistent that this was not due to the implants. After three months of no improvement and a seemingly lack of concern on Dr. Mears part, I sought a second opinion. It was the opinion of the consulting surgeon that there was a problem with the acetabular component. A revision procedure was recommended. After a delay due to the pandemic, the revision was performed. ... read more
