Dr. Arash Khozaei

Dr. Arash Khozaei is an orthopedic surgeon with more than 14 years of practice, much of it in trauma and joint surgery at hospitals in Shiraz, Iran. He sees patients at Dar Al Kamal Hospital in Sharjah with bone, joint and soft-tissue problems, from a recent fracture to a knee that has been painful for years.

Two areas stand out in his work. The first is trauma: he manages fractures both with and without surgery and has long experience of complex injuries. The second is the hip and knee, where his interests include joint replacement, revision of an earlier knee replacement, and reconstruction of the joint. He also treats meniscus tears, ligament injuries and cartilage damage, and uses injections into the joint where they are appropriate.

A consultation with Dr. Khozaei starts with diagnosis: your history, an examination and, where needed, imaging to find the cause of the pain or loss of movement. Surgery is one option among several, and he will explain when a non-surgical approach is worth trying first. He is also a good person to ask for a second opinion when surgery has been proposed elsewhere.

He trained in general medicine and then orthopedic surgery at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences and completed advanced training in knee surgery and joint replacement in Austria in 2016. Before coming to Sharjah he worked at several hospitals and clinics in Shiraz, Neyriz and Shush, including Dena, Alavi and Kowsar hospitals, and then at a clinic in Ajman.
