Board-certified orthopedic surgeon serving Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, and greater Los Angeles
If you’re researching robotic hip or knee replacement in Los Angeles, you’ve probably already tried everything else. The injections. The therapy. The careful way you navigate stairs. You’re not here because you gave up — you’re here because you’re ready for a real answer.
Dr. Farzin Kabaei is a board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon specializing in Mako™ robotic hip and knee replacement — one of the most advanced joint replacement technologies available today. His multi-modality approach means he explores every option before recommending surgery, and when surgery is the right answer, he delivers it with a level of precision that conventional techniques simply cannot match.
The Mako™ robotic system creates a precise 3D model of your exact anatomy before the first incision — improving implant alignment, reducing damage to surrounding tissue, and delivering outcomes that last. Whether you suffer from hip joint damage caused by arthritis, a knee injury that has never fully healed, or degenerative joint disease that is quietly limiting your life, Dr. Kabaei has solutions.
Most patients go home the same day as surgery and return to full activity within six weeks. His private practice in Santa Monica and Beverly Hills means you see the same surgeon at every appointment — from your first consultation through your final follow-up. No residents. No hand-offs. No surprises.
If you’ve already been told you need joint replacement surgery, consider the value of hearing it from one of Los Angeles’s most experienced robotic surgery specialists — before you commit to anything.
A NOTE FROM DR. KABAEI
I say that because I have been a patient myself. I know what it feels like to sit across from a surgeon, to wonder if you are being heard, to wonder if the recommendation you are about to receive is the right one — for you, not for the system.
My practice exists because I wanted to build the kind of care I wished I had received. Every patient I treat is seen by me personally, from the first consultation through the final follow-up. Not a resident. Not a rotating team. Me.
If you are researching joint replacement, please take your time. Get a second opinion. Ask hard questions. And if you would like to include me in that process, I would be honored to sit with you and talk through every option — surgical and non-surgical — before you decide anything.

About The Surgeon
Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon
Dr. Farzin Kabaei is not only a board certified orthopedic surgeon and Mako™ robotic knee and hip replacement specialist, but he has also been a knee joint patient. He has first-hand experience of overcoming severe knee joint injuries and years of different treatments.
If you are suffering from knee pain or minimized hip mobility, Dr. Kabaei understands your frustration. He is also a pioneer of the bikini incision hip replacement technique — a minimally invasive approach that results in a virtually invisible scar — and is recognized as a regional expert in orthopedic trauma surgery, treating complex fractures and acute injuries across Southern California. With over 1,000 procedures performed and a less than 1% complication rate, his results speak for themselves.

Dr. Kabaei treats the full spectrum of knee, hip, and shoulder conditions — from chronic pain to complex revision surgery.
Advanced Technology
The Mako™ SmartRobotics™ system is the highest standard in robotic joint replacement surgery today. Before your first incision, it builds a precise 3D model of your anatomy. During surgery, it physically prevents any movement outside the pre-planned surgical zone — delivering sub-millimeter accuracy that conventional instruments cannot match. Dr. Kabaei has performed over 1,000 Mako™ robotic procedures in Los Angeles — one of the highest volumes of any private practice surgeon in Southern California.

Not everybody needs surgery to get better.
Having undergone multiple surgeries himself, Dr. Kabaei brings a perspective to this practice that few surgeons can offer — a genuine, first-hand understanding of what it means to be a patient, and how much it matters to exhaust every non-surgical option before recommending an operation.
That experience shaped the way he practices. Over the years, Dr. Kabaei has become one of the more conservative orthopedic surgeons in Los Angeles — not because he lacks surgical skill, but because he has seen firsthand how often surgery is simply not necessary. His goal with every patient remains the same: restore you to the active lifestyle you love, as quickly and as naturally as possible.
More often than you might think, that path doesn’t involve surgery at all. Through the right physical therapists and performance trainers — Dr. Kabaei has access to some of the best in Los Angeles — combined with advanced biologics including PRP injections, peptide therapy, and BMAC (bone marrow aspirate concentrate) injections, he has helped hundreds of patients avoid surgery entirely or delay it by years. These aren’t experimental treatments. They are proven, targeted, and when applied correctly to the right patient, they work.
If you’re facing a diagnosis that includes surgery, do yourself a favor before committing to anything: come in for a consultation. Let’s explore every option together. Surgery will always be there if you need it — but you may not.
