Dr. Stuart C Kozinn, MD

Dr KOZINN took his time explaining to me all I needed to know about my anterior hip replacement. My surgery went smoothly and my recovery was fast and virtually painless. He is the best ! He is always available to answer questions and personally return your phone calls.

State of the art orthopedic care, specializing in total joint replacement.

Just had an anterior hip replacement with Dr. Kozinn. I travelled from Canada because many of my Canadian friends had surgery performed by Dr. Kozinn. He was fabulous! From meeting him and discussing my case to surgical care I could not ask for more from him and his staff. Dr. Kozinn takes all of his own calls and got back to me immediately with any concern that I had. He is patient and takes his time.

Dr. Kozinn is rude with no bedside manners!

I was very impressed with Dr. Kozinn's surgical skill - I recovered from the hip-replacement operation quickly and without any problems - and with the care that he took to answer my questions before and after the surgery. He was eager to make sure that I understood the procedure and how to optimize recovery, and he had plenty of time for me both before and after surgery. I'm very happy that I decided to have him replace my hip and would recommend him to anyone. (I;ve already recommended him to several people.)

Dr. Kozinn is the best orthopedic surgeon I have ever seen. He has a tremendous amount of experience with difficult joint replacement cases. He spent a lot of time with me on a difficult knee problem, and now I feel so much better about my options and my future. Thanks Dr. K, you are the best!

I travelled a long way to see Dr. Kozinn and my experience was absolutely worth the trip. In addition to my procedure I got to spend time in Arizona with my family and the sunny weather was a beautiful way to celebrate being pain free. I still feel so liberated!

I did a lot of reading up after I was referred to Dr. Kozinn. How could I not be excited to see someone with this doctor's pedigree and track record? He is in the center of his field! Okay, so he did not sit around idly and make small talk with me, but who cares? I don't want that anyways. My feelings are not hurt. Why should they be? I went to get the rundown and information about my medical situation and my HIP, which is exactly what I received. Thank you for not trying to make this important visit about last night's football game.

the doctor was obviously busy but at least with me i did not feel rushed at all, he seemed genuinely interested in giving me a thorough diagnosis and i had no problems getting my surgery scheduled quickly. oh how good it feels to be fully mobile again and almost no pain, if i could do it over i would not change a thing. thank you!!

My experience with Dr. Kozinn was nothing but positive. What qualities do you want in someone who is going to perform a life-altering procedure on your body? Dr. Kozinn KNOWS what he is doing and after this experience I would not go to any other orthopedic surgeon. Dr. Kozinn was to the point but answered all my questions, gave me peace of mind and trust in his abilities. My recovery was very fast surpassing all of my expectations.

Wow, the reviews here are comical. This doctor is one of the best knee replacement doctors in the nation - maybe the world. Has it ever occurred to any of you that he might have other patients to take care of besides you? He was obviously busy when he saw me. He got the job done and my knees haven't felt this way in years. I didn't come to the doctor's office to make a friend I came to get the best care available. And by the way, he was not rude to me or uncaring. You people need to find a therapist, not a surgeon.

Wow just stumbled upon this site as I am recuperating from my 2nd knee replacement with Dr. KOZINN. I am sorry that others had a poor experience with the kind doctor but I have nothing but praises for the man. He was always very attentive to my concerns. In fact when I had a medical issue he personally called me back within a few minutes and it was on a Saturday evening. I feel blessed that I now have 2 perfect knees. Don't be deterred by the other comments Dr Kozinn really is the best and truly knows his stuff.

I was referred to Dr. Kozinn by another physician and I was quite excited when I read about him and heard all about his credentials. I was even very happy with his staff, who were all smiles & happy. Even though my appt was for 10:30 & I didn't get seen by Dr. Kozinn until 11:15, I was still optimistic. That all changed when he entered the door, didn't apologize for being late, gave me a half -hearted hand shake and hello. He acted like I was wasting his time by being there. He showed me the xrays, rattled off in a monotone voice what I needed to do for my problem, gave me a shot and left. You can have all the fancy degrees, awards and magazine articles you want, but when a Dr. is just down right unkind and not nice, to me it makes all those things immaterial.

I went to Dr. Kozinn for a second opinion on my hip to assess and provide options for complications following surgery that was conducted by another doctor. I spent a long time researching and choosing what appeared to be a highly trained orthopedic surgeon who specializes in the hip. Dr. Kozinn looks great on paper, but was a tremendous let down. I provided strong, detailed information and MRI images/report that showed a serious bone condition. Dr. Kozinn chose to lecture about how arthroscopic procedures like the one that I had done 4 months ago to address an ongoing diseased/damaging process (as he calls it "mucking around"), usually does more damage than good and that he does joint replacements and nothing else works. He went on to say that he didn't have to look at the x-rays that he just did 10 minutes earlier to know what was wrong with me (before an exam). He asked who my surgeon was and whether he was a young guy, stating that he had never heard of him. As he ramped up his monologue without any evaluation or record review, I had to stop him to ask him if he had read my MRI and whether "avascular necrosis" would redirect our discussion. In short, after walking him to the points of concern, his options were 1) joint replacement in 2 months or 2) use crutches for a couple of years to try to make it to age 40 before a joint replacement. What kind of option is crutching around for 2 years? Further, he assessed that there was a 50% chance that I would need hip replacement within 1 year and a 50% chance that "it would heal". When I pressed him on how dead bone with no blood supply could heal, he corrected his statement to say that it would not and that it really comes down to how long replacement could be put off. He dismissed any alternatives, referring to young doctors misleading their patients with new procedures and saying that nothing else works, regardless of the literature or what many of his colleagues will say. He gave me his card and circled his Facebook page and said that if I decided in two months to do a hip replacement and wanted to work with him I could call him. This could be the best technical hip replacement doctor in the world and I would never consider using him. He clearly was not interested in a true evaluation of me, nor any ideas of short term management. I wasted my time, which I could not afford to do at this point.

Think about this: Within 4 years (2002 - 2006) I had 4 hip replacements -1 total plus 3 corrections- left and 2 replacements -1 total plus one correction- right. And guess what, I have to have the right one replaced since it was apparently not placed correctly. And adking for my documents brought nothing. If that does not make one think. . .

This man is an egotistical jerk with no bedside manners. He is rude to patients and staff. We have seen for 3 years and he has gone through 3 pas. Waited 2 hours and no apology when he came in. Wanted to cut after rooster shots had worked just fine for one year. I do not care if he is from harvard or pvcc. There is no way he is replacing my knee.

On my initial visit, Dr Kozinn made little to NO eye contact while talking with me--he was flipping through my notes and paperwork. he quickly explained what a hip replacement would entail, introduced me to his surgery scheduler and left e with her telling me when I decided when I wanted my surgery, to give her a call. I did have the surgery and was believing everything I read online and on his site. Fast recuperation and pain free as soon as hours after my surgery--and up and walking! But as far as a caring and compassion--he has none. His bedside manner sucks. He never talked with my family when they were in my room. Acted like they were not even there. On my one or two week followup to get my stitches out, his office assistants did that--never saw Dr Kozinn until they saw something and called him in. THEY took my stitches out. He never touched me. I guess he only does the big buck surgery and the little stuff is left to staff. If you want a good surgeon, he is. If you want someone compassionate who will take the time to sit with and talk with you--he's not the one. Surgery is a money making industry and I guess that's where his interest lies--not with the patient. But hey, without patients, he would be making no $$$$$$$$$. I guess he forgot that part.

Don't believe the last few people they don't know what they are talking about. I had an anterior hip replacement and a knee replacement. I am so happy that I found Dr. Kozinn and his staff. My life has turned around for the better!!!!! If you don't believe me you can see what his patients have to say on facebook.... Just look under Scottsdale Joint Center or Anterior Hip Replacement. You will get the real picture about how Dr. Kozinn takes care of his patients.

Dr Kozinn makes me wonder if I will be ok, this was a very big issue for me, hip replacement, but I felt I was brushed off and left with too many questions, I would not recommend this experience for anyone....I still can't walk well and I don't really know when I will. No answers I'm left in a fog, and all he chatted to me about is the review of others, when he talked to me intensely was about his reviews from others ( I felt I was drilled), my mistake was not to tell him the whole story about his behavior, hollywood at its best, tip: when I was in the office he was borderline abusive to the staff about billing, sigh I should have said something to him, I saw the staff work hard thru this and very kind, how does a doctor yell at his staff who cares, sigh... Pray for me, dont know when exactly I will heal....didn't get time to ask....

I find this physician rude and uncaring. He only spent five minutes with me even though I have a very complex health issue. He also stated because I have a complex health issue he wouldn't deal with it. He never discussed my pain level or how this problem is affecting my life.
