Total Hip Replacement
Our total hip replacement procedure addresses severe arthritis or joint damage using advanced implants and minimally invasive techniques. Patients benefit from faster recovery times and improved mobility through our specialized surgical approach. With over 30,000 procedures performed, our team ensures optimal implant placement and long-term joint function restoration.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
We employ cutting-edge minimally invasive approaches that reduce tissue trauma and accelerate recovery. These techniques enable smaller incisions, less postoperative pain, and quicker return to daily activities while maintaining surgical precision. Our innovations in MIS have set new standards for joint replacement procedures nationwide.
Same-Day Discharge
Qualified patients can return home the same day of surgery through our established same-day discharge program. This option combines advanced surgical techniques with comprehensive preoperative preparation and postoperative support to ensure safe and comfortable recovery at home.
Revision Joint Replacement
We specialize in correcting failed joint replacements with complex revision procedures. Our expertise addresses implant loosening, wear, or misalignment using specialized implants and bone grafting techniques. Patients receive tailored solutions to restore joint function and alleviate persistent pain from previous surgeries.
Partial Knee Replacement
This targeted procedure replaces only the damaged portion of the knee joint while preserving healthy tissue. Ideal for patients with localized arthritis, it offers faster recovery and a more natural joint feel compared to total knee replacement through precise implant placement and alignment.

Had a total knee replacement with Dr. Hartzband four years ago. Was very impressed with HIMSELF! No bedside manner! Have had pain/discomfort since my surgery--worse than before I had it done. Finally went to a different orthopedic surgeon and told me that my knee was 30% off what it is supposed to be! Getting a replacement/replacement this Friday by my new surgeon!

Only thing I can say is it's been 4 years since the hip replacement surgery and I am worse off now than before the procedure. Instead of only having an arthritic hip, I now have a completely numb leg and foot. I would hold off on these procedures as long as possible. Back and Pain Doctors have concluded this was due to nerve damage from the surgery. These procedures are not as simple as they make them sound.

I was recommended the Hartzband group after getting two conflicting diagnoses on a knee issue. It started with a baker's cyst and an MRI showed a tear in the meniscus. The second doctor gave me a gel shot and scheduled surgery. When my appointment with Dr. Seidenstein came my knee was much better due to the gel shot I had received. Mind you even though I had advised the other doctor that I was almost pain free he was still recommending surgery. Dr. Seidenstein looked at all my X-rays and MRI's and then gave me some great news; no surgery needed.
He explained that I had very bad arthritis in my knee. Yes, I did have a tear in the meniscus but if the pain was being caused by the tear the gel shot would not have worked like it did. A year later I had one more gel shot. It has now been three year since I've had any problems with that knee. I can't tell you how grateful I am to Dr. Seidenstein and The Hartzband group. I almost had a surgery that was totally unnecessary but even more than that Dr. Seidenstein took the time to explain everything to me and answered all my questions. If you have a knee problem please do yourself a favor and go to The Hartzband Group!

Had bilateral TKR less than a year ago. In the beginnng I thought all was going well but notice going up and downstairs is worst. Sitting and standing is severe pain. Walking not pleasant. I still do my stretching and exercises and every time I go see the doctor he tells me everything is fine and to go back in a year. I am beginning to ask myself why did I do this surgery. It's like I'm on my own now and the doctor just wash his hands off me. So disappointed. Used to rate them highly. Not anymore.

I'm now almost two years out from a right hip replacement with Dr. Hartzband. I had a great experience, limited pain after surgery and walking same day. Two years later I run, jump, hike and don't even remember it's an artificial hip. Highly recommend Dr Hatzband!
