Najib Ussef, MD

Dr. Najib Ussef is dual board-certified in general orthopedics and sports medicine. He specializes in minimally invasive arthroscopic care, with a focus on joint preservation and cartilage restoration for complex shoulder, hip, and knee conditions. Dr. Ussef is one of only a few Coachella Valley providers with sports medicine board certification. His practice also includes robotic-assisted hip and knee replacement, as well as fracture care. Dr. Ussef listens first, builds a plan tailored to each patient, and favors conservative treatment when it’s the right fit. Direct, thorough, and approachable, he believes patients recover better when they understand their condition, so education is a priority at every visit. A Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, he’s especially proud of helping patients return to activities they thought they’d lost for good. Outside of medicine, he values time with his family and staying active.
