S Kirbow
- Hip Replacement
“On March 13, 2019 I had a right total hip replacement. Prior to having this surgery I walked at least 1 - 2 miles a day (4-5 days a week) at the mall and it was extremely painful. When Dr. Rizk told me that I needed a hip replacement I dreaded hearing that because I was afraid of how it would restrict my activities and how it would affect my lifestyle.
Before surgery I attended a class and was given literature on what to expect, exercises to do before and after surgery that would help speed up my recovery. Dr Rizk and his staff were so helpful and alleviated most of my concerns. I also went on the internet, checked out his website and investigated his credentials. His credentials are impeccable!
I had the surgery and was up walking and doing physical therapy 3 hours later. I was discharged from the hospital the next day! I took the pain medication for only 1 - 2 days after discharge and then I only needed Tylenol or Advil after that.
Therapy is the key to full recovery (YOU MUST DO THERAPY). I started back walking at the mall within 7 days after surgery, slowly with a walker and with a cane for 1 week and then I stopped using both by the second week after surgery. It's been 9 weeks since my hip replacement and I'm up to 2 - 3 miles a day for 4-5 days a week.
Thank you Dr Rizk, staff at Beaumont Bone and Joint and Christus St. Elizabeth for the excellent care that I received.”

- Left Hip Replacement & right knee replacement
“I have just returned from my three year check up for the hip and knee replacements. The X-Rays looked the same as they did three years ago. I'm a 76 year old male, who can walk again without pain thanks to
Dr. Rizk. Before he did the surgery he explained the risks, recovery time and what he expected of me during my recovery period. I took my time on the recovery for my hip, but I was playing golf four weeks after the knee. Dr. Wagdy Rizk is a great Surgeon and expects his instructions to be carried out by all. So let me recommend something else, save alot of gas and stay off interstate 10. Go see Dr Wagdy Rizk you will be glad you did!!!! ”

“Had knee replacement with Dr Rizk using robotics. So pleased with the outcome. Dr Rizk is so nice. A quite man, but explains what to expect. Had surgery one day and home the next afternoon.

- pre- knee replacement
“I have been suffering from knee pain which had been locking and slipping causing unbearable pain and limited my activities.
This kind and compassionate doctor restored my trust.
little did I know that this gentle, patient, nurse practioner, is married to Dr.Rizk. It is not too often to see husband and wife complement each other so well. They are experts in their field ,and treat you as a whole person. I have received injections and I have no complaints. They are very good at their profession. Good bedside manner and very involved in your care ,what more could a patient ask for.
i appreciate them so much for loving their work and love for their patients ,taking time to explain your procedure and answer your concerns.”

- Hip replacement
“June 26, 2023 Dr. Rizk performed a complete hip replacement on my left hip. With Godâs help, Dr. Rizk completely changed my life. My body was completely out of alignment with the left leg being 2â shorter than the right leg. No other doctors had been able to diagnose my problem, not even Houston. However, I had a CAT scan done for another issue and brought it to Dr Rizk. He noticed that half of my hip was missing and said I needed a hip replacement. For years I had been in severe pain, had to wear special shoes with expensive lifts, and I was really handicapped. After surgery, Dr. Rizk realigned my legs with the new hip joint and now Iâm able to wear regular shoes again and Iâm also able to go barefooted which is something most of us take for granted. Dr. Rizk also cured my neuropathy I had in the left leg which was an unexpected blessing. All of the praise goes to God for Dr Rizkâs incredible skills and talents in surgery. Dr. Rizk is also very patient, kind and understanding. He is an excellent listener. Thank you Dr. Rizk for changing my life and giving us the opportunity to travel and enjoy life again. ”

- Knee injection
“Dr. Rizk and his team are fantastic. They have been
keeping my knee going for some time now. When the injections no longer help, I will definitely have him perform a total knee replacement.”
Robert H
- arthroscopy left knee for Patellar Clunk Syndrome
“After a total left knee replacement at Fondren, I developed "Patellar Clunk Syndrome". I should have gone to Beaumont Bone & Joint as they did my right knee replacement almost 10 years ago and it has performed superbly. Anyway, for the left knee I decided to not go back to Fondren and instead have BB&J see what the problem was and offer a solution. Dr. Rizk agreed to see me and promptly diagnosed the condition. After physical therapy didn't resolve the condition, he performed arthroscopic surgery to remove the significant scar tissue causing the problem and that has solved the issue. I can now ride a bike, walk up and down stairs, eliminated pain and has generally made life much better. It was a pleasure working with Dr. Rizk, he was quite understanding and I can highly recommend his practice.”
