Dr. Tony Tsismenakis was born in Greece and immigrated to the US with his family. Having grown up in northern Massachusetts for the majority of his life, he is a true New Englander who always felt that Massachusetts was never north enough. Even while in college, medical school, and then a residency in Boston, Dr. Tony loved to visit Maine whenever he could. As a resident at Boston University, he trained at the Boston University Medical Center, Lahey Clinic, Massachusetts General Hospital, Shriner’s Hospital for Children, and had the honor of taking care of veterans from all over New England at the Boston VA. In Boston, he trained under the auspices of numerous world-renowned orthopedic surgeons, like Drs. Thomas Einhorn and Paul Tornetta III. During residency, Dr. Tony was awarded a nomination into the American Orthopaedic Association (AOA), an honor bestowed on the top one to two residents in each orthopedic surgery program in the country. Following completion of his last year as chief resident at Boston University, Dr. Tony was accepted into the prestigious adult reconstructive surgery fellowship at the NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases / Insall Scott Kelly Institute in Manhattan, one of the only 2 orthopaedic surgery specialty hospitals in the country (and one of only six in the world) and consistently ranked by US News & World Report as one of the best hospitals for orthopaedic surgery. There, he was fortunate to have had the opportunity to further refine his skills under some of the first pioneers in joint replacement surgery, as well as develop skills in robotic and computer-navigated surgery and was part of the team performing some of New York‘s first total joint operations, such as the city’s first laser-guided joint replacement surgery. Dr. Tony has experience with hundreds of total hip operations through both anterior and posterior approaches. Dr. Tony has published in medical journals and texts and presented his work at national and international conferences. His goal is to use his training and skills to deliver to his community’s backyard the compassionate care at the highest level for which DownEast Orthopedics is known.

Very helpful and nice too!
It would be helpful to have printed materials describing knee replacement, drugs used, and pain management. Also, to include aftercare and recovery time.
Listened do my concerns and stated above starting. point we. Both agreed on
Easily understood explanations of the procedure. Answered questions. Even though running behind schedule he took his time and was not rushed.
Dr. Tsimenakis was always to the point, and yet also always had time to listen to my thoughts and concerns. I n ever felt brushed aside.
The best! My hip replacement went far better than expected.
Dr Tony makes the problem easy to understand.
Excellent care
