Mission Statement

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.  

Ugo Ihekweazu, MD, (pronounced e-heck-wa-zoo) is a board-certified orthopedic
surgeon located in Houston, Texas.  Dr. Ihekweazu, has quickly emerged as an
expert in the field of hip and knee replacement surgery and serves on national
leadership committees with the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons and
the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons.  Locally, Dr. Ihekweazu has been
recognized by his peers as a ‘Top Doctor’ in Houstonia Magazine and Texas
Monthly. He has devoted his career to leading patients back to their active
lifestyles through evidence-based treatments and meticulous surgical technique. 




Dr. Ihekweazu was born and raised in Houston, Texas. After a state-championship
basketball career at Westbury Christian, Dr. Ihekweazu continued his athletic
and academic pursuits at Cornell University, where he completed both
undergraduate and medical school training. As a medical student, he was
recognized for his mastery of anatomy with the Gustave J. Noback Memorial award
for advanced study and teaching in the field of anatomy.




Following medical school, Dr. Ihekweazu returned home to Houston and completed
an orthopedic surgery residency program at Baylor College of Medicine.
Throughout his residency, he was exposed to care in a variety of settings
including Ben Taub General Hospital, Texas Children’s Hospital, the Michael E.
DeBakey VA Medical Center, the Shriners Hospital for Children, the Baylor-St.
Luke’s Medical Center and Houston Methodist Hospital. In addition to these
experiences, Dr. Ihekweazu completed a short-term AO Trauma Fellowship at the
Hôpitaux Universitaires de Genève in Geneva, Switzerland. 

After his residency training, he pursued a fellowship in Adult Reconstruction
and Joint Replacement Surgery at the world-renowned Hospital for Special Surgery
in New York City. During his fellowship, Dr. Ihekweazu was further trained in a
variety of advanced joint replacement techniques, including, anterior and
posterior hip replacements, hip resurfacing, total and partial knee
replacements, robotic-assisted surgery and revision joint replacement surgery.  

Dr. Ihekweazu is devoted to the local community and enjoys teaching, mentoring
and volunteering throughout the Houston area.  He believes in being conservative
with his treatment recommendations and only recommends surgery when
less-invasive treatments have failed. Most importantly, Dr. Ihekweazu takes
great pride in treating each patient as if they were a member of his family and
in his leading patients back to their active lifestyles.
