Who we help
If your joint keeps stealing your day, you’re in the right place.
Hip & knee replacement helps people whose joints have been worn or damaged in different ways. The story behind the pain is different — the relief can be the same.
Osteoarthritis
The most common cause — cartilage wears down, bones grind, and every step costs you.
Post-traumatic
An old fracture or injury that never quite healed right — pain that's only grown louder.
Inflammatory arthritis
Rheumatoid and similar conditions that erode the joint despite good medical care.
Avascular necrosis
When blood supply to the bone fails and the joint surface collapses from within.
Before → After
From counting steps to losing count.
Today
Every step hurts.
- Sleep broken by aching joints
- Stairs you used to fly up — now you plan around
- Walks, golf, gardening — quietly slipping away
- Painkillers as part of the daily routine
After recovery
Back to doing what you love.
- Sleeping through the night again
- Walking the dog without stopping
- Travelling, hiking, playing with grandkids
- Far less reliance on pain medication
MY COMMITMENT TO PUBLIC CARE
I Believe In Public Healthcare.
I am a proud public surgeon with local hospital admitting privileges, and I believe in Canada’s public system and the high-quality care patients receive through it. I continue to serve my public patients with the same expertise, techniques and standards as everyone else — because whether you wait for publicly funded surgery or choose a private option, you get the same quality of care. The only difference is the wait.
This site is here for you either way — including plenty of guidance if you’re staying on the public waitlist.
For every patient — public & private
More than a clinic — your complete recovery companion
Every patient having surgery with Dr. Sharma — public or private — gets access to the Patient Portal: a personalised, week-by-week recovery companion with exercises, what-to-expect guides, warning-sign help, printable letters and more.
Public or private, our care and this portal are exactly the same. Every patient matters equally.
Week-by-week recovery
A personalised "what to expect" companion, surgery day to a year out.
Exercises & rehab
Guided hip and knee programs to heal faster and move with confidence.
