Jimmy's Surgeon - Brad L. Penenberg, MD

Director - Center for Minimally Invasive Hip and Knee Arthroplasty, Beverly Hills, CA

When Jimmy met with Dr. Brad Penenberg, he knew that he had found the surgeon for him. Today, he refers to his doctor as “the only man who truly knows me inside and out”.

“When I went to Dr. Penenberg, he was the only guy (and believe me, I did a lot of research), who brought out samples, showed them to me, and explained to me exactly what was going to happen. That didn’t happen with everyone. They would rather talk 59 minutes of tennis and 1 minute of what I was going to go through, but Dr. Penenberg got straight to the point, told me what to expect, and I can’t thank him enough for that. His bedside manner sold me, and his surgery cured me.”

Brad L. Penenberg, MD, combines a commitment to excellence in patient care with a focus on research. His practice is centered on solutions for patients with problems of the hip and knee. His research interests have involved young patients with hip disease, prosthesis design and biomaterials development. Dr. Penenberg has developed a specialty in treating patients with post-traumatic arthritis, and patients with joint infection. He also has extensive experience with revisions of existing hip and knee replacements, including autograft and allograft supplementation for bone deficiency. He holds seven U.S. patents on orthopedic instruments and devices.

Dr. Penenberg performs hip and knee replacements using a minimally-invasive surgical technique. This innovative technique involves less trauma to muscles and soft tissue, and results in a significantly smaller surgical incision.
