Joint Preservation Institute: Amir Jamali, MD 2825 J Street, Sacramento, CA 95816

"I knew I had a problem with my hip. It was determined I had mild hip dysplasia and a torn labrum. After seeing 4 surgeons who kept insisting it was my back or I just needed PT, Dr. Jamali confirmed I needed my labrum repaired. The surgery was done and 7 years later I am still active! I gave up running but I cycle, walk for miles, and ski at least twice a week during the season. I am so grateful to Dr. Jamali. He is kind and very well qualified. Thank you Dr. Jamali for ending my pain."

"After an emergency surgery done wrong, my docs said I needed to wait 18 months or longer to correct the rods/pins in my hip. I was so lucky to find Dr Jamali. He was able to do the surgery and I will always be grateful. He is kind, compassionate, and smart! His office staff is excellent. I would recommend him to anyone wanting the very best in the field."

"Dr. Jamali and his team are excellent. I was referred to Dr. Jamali following an accident and from day one he explained clearly the processes I would need to go through in order to repair my hip and upper leg. I was impressed with his integrity in not jumping straight to a surgical solution. Dr. Jamali involved me in all the decision making and discussions about my treatment. He explored various options with me and was always up front about what and why we were following the various types of treatment. Ultimately I had surgery and he has improved my mobility considerably. I am hopeful that eventually I will fully recover and have full functionality back. I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Jamali and his team. Courteous, informative, efficient and so friendly. I would have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Jamali to anyone. Thank you for your excellent care and attention. Andrew Jacobs"

"I am 61 and have had 8 orthopedic surgeries on 6 joints with 6 different surgeons (lots of contact sports), and I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Jamali and his office. About 8 yrs ago my hip started a dull ache after I fell while rock climbing. When my general practitioner saw my X-ray he said he’d never seen such damage in someone my age. I talked to my roller hockey buddy (an emergency room doc) who recommended Dr. Jamali’s program. Dr. Jamali looked at my X-rays and said I had broken up the socket (it looked like the coast of Dalmatia) and I could try for either replacement or resurfacing. He recommended the latter in my case, also noted that I could wait some. I spent a year waiting and working out on a stationary bike trying to help it, but eventually it got so wiggly that I scheduled a resurfacing with him. Leading up to the operation I saw how his office is innovative with insurers and completely transparent about costs, and he had me fully informed prior to surgery. On surgery day he was clearly thrilled to be there and totally focused like a track athlete; after surgery he was the same but like after a competition that he had won. He reviewed the surgery and the prognosis, and gave me careful instructions on post-operative care and follow-up visits. I soon became as active as I was in my 30’s including strenuous hiking, bicycling, and not only roller but ice hockey (am soon starting my 5th season: in my 3rd season I dislocated my shoulder and Dr. Jamali referred me to one of the best rotator cuff surgeons on the West coast who is the only surgeon I know on par with Dr. Jamali, but that shoulder surgeon is personally a jackass while Dr. Jamali is a wonderful fellow). Other than the hip scar I cannot tell that I have had a hip operation and often forget except at airport security. In all my interactions, Dr. Jamali was direct, to the point, and honest, while also affable, polite, respectful, and friendly. His office staff were marvelous; well-informed, helpful, timely with communication and congenial. One of them is an etymologist, and all were extremely competent. I thank my lucky stars for the referral to Dr. Jamali."

"Great Surgeon. I have had both of my hips replaced due to injury. Dr. Jamali has done both of them. I have had great results with both hips and highly recommend him. His staff is great also. Very cheerful and attentive. Always follow through with information and followup."
