Both my wife and I had hip replacements with Dr. Durbhakula. He's busy and professional, running an efficient program at Suburban Hospital. He'll do your surgery, but don't count on him sticking around if trouble develops. My experience was fine, but my wife's replacement developed an infection. Durbhakula punted her to a less-busy colleague in the OrthoBethesda proctice, and ghosted her afterward. We tried to keep him involved but he didn't respond. After two disastrous revisions, we switched to Georgetown. Going on a year ... read more

Not consistant. I have encountered many people, including myself, who have had major issues or revisions from his carelessness (hip & knee). There are far better surgeons in our area.

Dr. Durbhakula did fantastic work replacing my hip with the direct anterior approach using the Hana table at Suburban Hospital. Since my surgery at age 61, I've earned a fourth degree black belt in Okinawan Karate. Seeing no problems at age 65 and I continue to practice Karate. I could barely walk before my operation. My strength and range of motion has returned to normal - maybe even better. I couldn't imagine a better outcome to the surgery Dr. Durbhakula performed on my hip.

I highly recommend Dr Durbhakula. He always listens and responds to your health complaints. He’s provided the correct treatment for me from the first visit. I’m feeling so much better and able to move much better under his care.

Dr. D and his team did a fabulous job with my knee. I had a robotic knee replacement and I was home just hours later. By two weeks I was off the cane and medications. Now I’m back to hiking and walking 18 holes of golf. This was an outstanding experience and I’ve been to a lot of physicians over the years. -DF

I've seen Dr. Durbhakula two times this year for treatment of my knee due to lack of meniscus tissue. He is very thorough in his explanation of the problem and protocols for treatment, even offering alternative solutions. He didn't rush either appointment despite his heavy case load. I am so grateful to have found him & OrthoBethesda.

I just love my new knee. The doctor was aswsome in assessing how I would respond to surgery, and the progress was fantastic. My knee was 100 percent in 4 months. Igo each year just to make sure I havn't broken anything up because my life is so active at 65. And in general, he's great to interact with, he's a realist, and just charming as can be!

I highly recommend Dr. Sri Durbhakula. Not only is he highly knowledgeable and to the point, he is easy to talk to and quickly understands your problems/concerns and gives you an in-depth diagnosis after carefully reviewing your x-rays/MRIs, etc. Then he'll give you an explanation of your condition and his recommended treatment plan in layman's terms that you can easily understand. Thank you Dr. Durbhakula for your excellent treatment.

Dr. Durbhakula is an amazing person. He is also an amazing doctor. He has helped our family for years. He has operated on both my parents and my husband. He is a top notch joint replacement surgeon. Trust me I have seen a lot of doctors. Nobody betas Dr. Durbhakula. I recommend him for any hip or knee problems you might have.
