Great Doctor!

I can't put into words the confidence and peace we feel with this fantastic doctor. His ability to communicate with parent AND child are unparalelled.My daughter is so comfortable with him and trusts him completely. This is not an average occurance for her.She has MHE,a fairly rare bone diesase, I would do anything to ensure he is the surgeon for her.

Dr Hosalkar is simply the best children's orthopedic surgeon you would ever meet. My advice is.....if your child has an orthopedic problem, take him or her to DR H....he is famous as DR H at children's hospital of san Diego.

best pediatric orthopedist you could meet!!

Dr. Hosalkar is truly one of the finest physicians we have ever known. Our son has an extremely complicated degenerative hip condition that we have struggled to find the proper course of treatment for. We have been to several children's hospitals in the US and so from the first appointment, we could see that there is something very special about this Doctor. He treated us with compassion, he recognized our frustration from the years of not getting answers; he spoke so kindly and directly to our son, and he was also careful to have him leave the room when we needed to discuss more intense, difficult elements of his treatment; such discretion. The hip examine is typical but Dr Hosalkar only looks at the face and eyes of his patient to detect the slightest hint of pain to be able to determine range of motion. Any other ortho I have known needed our son to vocalize his pain at every turn and flex of the leg. Not Dr. Hosalkar. He is intuitive, such an expert... We entrusted him with our son for an 8+ hour surgery to help repair his hip and from first appointment, scheduling, pre-op, surgery, hospital, and the long LONG months of recovery, Dr. H and his assistant Kris took such great care of us. Our son can finally walk and play without pain after years of suffering and we are beyond thankful.

I was referred to Dr. Holsakar by another orthopedic surgeon since my hip was in good enough condition to be treated rather than replaced. I had both a cam and pincer impingement, a torn and detached labrum and some damage to the cartilage. Dr. H spent a lot of time discussing the procedure and the prognosis for recovery. The procedure he recommended to me was the full open surgical dislocation and debridement surgery. He told me I would be back to being unrestricted in my activities in 10-12 weeks. Many told me that this was unrealistic and it would be months to a year before I could resume normal activities. By the way, I had my surgery two weeks before my 53rd birthday. Well, 11.5 weeks after my procedure I was skiing and with no problems associated with my repaired hip. Dr. H is a very talented doctor who believes in getting you back to doing what you love to do quickly is important. I would highly recommend him to anyone contemplating hip surgery.

After a nasty fall on my right hip on Christmas Eve, I found myself faced with orthopedic surgery to my hip joint to place 3 screws in the bone to stabilize the fracture. Dr. Harish Hosalkar was the on-call doctor performing the surgery on Christmas morning, and I couldn't have asked for a more caring, informed, understanding, knowledgeable doctor than Dr. Hosalkar. I had just flown across the country to visit family, and Scripps Encinitas said that Dr. Hosalkar was the doctor who was on-call. I would highly recommend Dr. Hosalkar to anyone who has need of an orthopedic surgeon. You just know when someone is a good person, and he is one of the special ones!
