My practice is committed to utilizing a patient-centered approach to care. We recognize that every patient is different. Whether you are a high-level athlete, a retiree that loves to travel or someone that has dealt with long-term disability and wants to regain functional mobility, the treatment recommendations may differ and shared decision making is key.
Clear communication is a priority, therefore we use plain language when describing complex conditions and encourage questions of all kinds during our visits. Ultimately, our goal is to restore quality of life and we try to achieve this in the most minimally invasive way possible.

If you need a hip replacement, there are different surgical approaches that garner the same ultimate result, but some are less invasive than others. Through an anterior-approach hip replacement, Ugo Ihekweazu, MD, is able to replace your hip without causing collateral damage to your muscles.
Similar to his mini-posterior technique, this innovative approach allows his patients in Houston to get back on their feet again more quickly and with less pain that traditional hip replacements.To learn more, call the office or use the online scheduling tool to book an appointment.

If your hip joint is causing you pain and limiting your mobility in meaningful ways, a hip resurfacing surgery may be an option, though it's not for everyone. Ugo Ihekweazu, MD, is one of the few orthopedic surgeons in the state of Texas certified to perform this complex surgery, thereby allowing patients a wider choice of treatment options for painful joints.
Just as your natural knee or hip may wear down over time, so can the replacement parts. If you have an artificial hip or knee joint that needs some or all of its parts replaced, Ugo Ihekweazu, MD, offers revision hip and knee replacement surgery to Houston area patients. To learn more about upgrading your replacement hip or knee joint, call the office or use the online scheduler to make an appointment.

Not all superhero’s wear capes!!!! I was referred to Dr Ugo after years of sever pain & two back surgeries. After my first visit Dr Ugo had a game plan of healing. His kindness, professionalism, upfront honesty made my decision easy. After years of being unable to do basic things such as go for a walk; today I walked in my neighborhood without any pain. Forever grateful to Dr Ugo & team!

Dr. Ihekweazu and his team, especially Ana are amazing! He caught a misdiagnosis from another place and in a matter of time I was on my way to healing! Ana always answered my messages in a timely manner and took care of all the paperwork. I feel that they really care and took great care of me. Highly recommend.
