About Me

I manage a variety of conditions, including hip and knee arthritis, avascular necrosis, hip dysplasia, knee osteonecrosis, hip and knee pain, and hip and knee replacement complications or failures. 

I believe the most rewarding aspect of my job is having a positive impact on patients' quality of life. The relationship between a patient and their joint replacement surgeon is a lifelong one. I am thankful for the opportunity to help patients with their hip and knee pain.

Each patient's situation is unique, and I try to spend as much time as necessary with each patient to understand their needs and ensure they are comfortable with their diagnosis and treatment plan. I take pride in my work and treat every individual as if I were treating my family.

I believe the most rewarding aspect of my job is having a positive impact on patients' quality of life.

    Dr. Haimes provided excellent care throughout the entire process of my right knee replacement. At our 4-month appointment, he clearly laid out details and options for possible replacement surgery for my left knee. I recommend Dr. Haimes without any reservations.

    Excellent comunicator
  • January 10, 2026
    Dr. Haimes always takes the time to hear any concerns (I had none) and answers all the questions I bring (I always have many) and does so with a smile. He's wonderful and I'd highly recommend him to anyone needing knee surgery. Additionally, he had a student with him and I've heard him on a few occasions take the time to tell his students what he's doing and (more importantly) why he's doing it. Those students are fortunate to work with him.
