Fantastic care. I’ve had both knees replaced, 5 years apart and my recovery and long term benefits from the knee replacements are life-changing.

I had my hip replaced by Dr. Lupo and am feeling great! I am free of the pain that I was experiencing. Dr. Lupo and his staff are amazing to work with and make the whole process seemless. I would recommend Dr. Lupo to anyone needing a joint replacement.

October, 2023 - Dr. Lupo was the surgeon who performed my "reverse shoulder replacement" surgery. From start to finish Dr Lupo was patient and informative. My surgery was so successful that I had minimal pain on a 2-3 level and a very quick recovery. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Lupo and his staff!!!!!

I had a positive experience with Dr Lupo & Staff. I had a total knee replacement on Aug 14 & 10 weeks later I’m feeling great. No regrets! He communicates with his patients & doesn’t hesitate to honestly answer questions. I recommend Dr Lupo without hesitation.

I would highly recommend Dr Lupo After six weeks I’m at 80 percent improved. My pain is very minimal and my mobility is to the point I can do my normal activities! I was terrified after hearing I needed a knee replacement but now after experiencing one I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again if needed!

Dr. Lugo is wonderful. My leg had been injured at age 11. I had been rejected by other surgeons because of the complexity of the procedure. Over the years the lower leg deviated from the knee 32°. He replaced the knee and corrected the deviation back to normal. Now both legs match. I no longer walk with a brace or cane.

Dr. Lupo and team are absolutely amazing. From my first visit, the care I received was outstanding. My options were discussed and the procedure for my bilateral knee replacements were explained thoroughly. I always felt free to discuss my questions and everyone took time with me. The Physical and Occupational therapy at St. Vincent’s was also remarkable. As of August 15, 2018, it has been 5 weeks since my surgery. I returned to work full time after 4 weeks. I still have mild numbness around my knee caps, but that is all. Everyone is so supportive and kind. Thanks to Dr. Lupo’s expertise, having both knees done at the same time was the best decision I could have made.

awesome experience. I tell everyone about it.

★★★★★ 2016-04-12
My experience with dr. Lupo was very positive. Like anyone I was nervous about knee replacement surgery but ended up in very competent hands. After a month of recovery and therapy, I returned to a reasonable function and saw improvement jump remarkably after 6 weeks. I was playing golf by 3 months and the   part is there is no more pain. Dr. Lupo did a great job and I would definitely return if another knee or joint needed attention.

★★★★★ 2016-04-05
recovery after the mako procedure was so much better than the recovery for my total knee on the other side
