Yehuda "Yudi" Kerbel, MD

Dr. Yehuda "Yudi" Kerbel, M.D., specializes in the full spectrum of care for hip and knee arthritis—from non-surgical treatments to partial and total hip and knee replacements. He also provides second opinions and performs complex revision surgeries for patients whose previous joint replacements did not go as planned. In addition, he offers general orthopedic procedures, including knee arthroscopy for meniscus tears and fracture surgery to repair broken bones.

Dr. Kerbel earned a post-baccalaureate certificate in pre-medical studies from La Salle University and his medical degree from Drexel University College of Medicine. He began his orthopedic surgery residency at Drexel and completed it at the University of Pennsylvania, followed by an Adult Reconstructive Hip and Knee Fellowship at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago — widely regarded as one of the most esteemed joint replacement fellowships in the country.

Dr. Kerbel believes in creating personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs and goals. Every surgery is thoughtfully planned and precisely executed to match the individual’s anatomy, ensuring a truly customized approach to care.

When a patient places their trust in him, Dr. Kerbel sees it as a true partnership and is deeply committed to helping them return to the life they want to live. He was drawn to the mission of Redeemer Health, he says, “because it’s a place where the focus stays exactly where it should be — on the patient.”

Outside of work, Dr. Kerbel feels fortunate to share his life with his wife and three children. He enjoys working out, hiking, and gardening, and as a lifelong learner, he loves discovering new books and exploring new hobbies. His passion for helping people live better lives also comes through in the educational videos he creates in his spare time to help joint replacement patients around the world feel more confident and prepared for a smooth recovery.
