Dr. Ismar Dizdarevic and his dedicated team focus on minimally invasive hip and knee replacement as well as revision hip and knee replacement. Less invasive surgery such as the MIRA Knee Replacement (TM), direct anterior hip approach, partial knee replacement, and outpatient same day surgery coupled with innovative pain management allows patients to achieve earlier return to function. The surgeries are done through less than 4 inch incisions. By preserving the structure and function of the muscles, ligaments, and tendons, patients experience a more natural feeling joint replacement and avoid traditional restrictions following surgery.

Dupont Institute for Children. During this time, he published numerous scientific articles focusing on the treatment of musculoskeletal health. He was also awarded the Gold Humanism and Excellence in Resident Teaching Award by the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons and acted as Chief Resident during his final year.
Dr. Dizdarevic chose to spend an extra year to complete fellowship training in hip and knee replacement at the prestigious Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, IL, where he learned alongside the country's foremost authorities on revision hip and knee replacement and minimally invasive surgery.
On a personal note, Dr. Dizdarevic grew up in North Jersey and is extremely proud to bring his expertise back to the community which supported him during his training. In his spare time, he enjoys snowboarding, cycling, snorkeling, and spending time with his family.

About half hour late, but I feel confident in his analysis of my situation. He seems very patient and took the time to explain the medical terms to me.

very pleased with, friendly.
Wonderful explanation of everything really made me at ease
He is the best.
I wanted a second opinion on a potential operation of my left knee. I didn't feel I was getting all the info I needed at the place where I was going before. When I met Doctor Ismar, he provided all the information I needed about the operation, the process, the recuperation and why I needed only a partial knee replacement. He provides a lot of information and takes his time explaining in detail, with x-rays, if needed, what the surgery will entail. This level of information and detail made it easy for me to decide on moving forward with the operation. He shows a genuine interest in making sure his patients get the best information and treatment possible The surgery went well, and the recuperation was better than I expected.
He is knowledgeable, thoughtful and extremely considerate. I trust his diagnoses and treatments very much!
Awesome bedside manner. Highly recommend.
I was very impressed with this doctor who turned out to be a good listener and answered all questions thoroughly and patiently!
