PRESS GANEY REVIEWS

“Dr. Urish was MOST attentive, listened, responded in a manner that was understood, took time to listen and spoke in “everyday” terms that were understandable”

“Front desk and rooming staff were courteous and efficient. I was seen by the provider in a timely fashion. Dr. Urish volunteered informative/helpful answers to questions before I even had the chance to think of/ask them. I would highly recommend this physician to friends and family.”

“Dr. Urish went above and beyond to return a phone call at the end of the work day, and he spent time on the phone with me to talk about my concerns.”

Funded by the National Institute of Health, the group’s focus is on early arthritis prevention and optimizing joint replacement outcomes. He has published more than 50 articles, book chapters, and abstracts. He is actively involved in medical student, resident, fellow, and engineering graduate student education. He is considered an expert on robotic surgery, implant infection, corrosion, and optimizing joint replacement outcomes in the active adult.

Originally from the Pittsburgh area, he graduated with honors from Penn State with a degree in Chemical Engineering and completed medical school at the University of Pittsburgh, both, under full scholarship. His PhD is in Bioengineering at the University of Pittsburgh where his research focused on using adult stem cells for regenerative medicine. He completed residency in Orthopaedic Surgery at Penn State. He holds additional appointments with the University of Pittsburgh Department of Bioengineering, Clinical & Translational Science Institute, and Carnegie Mellon University Department of Biomedical Engineering.
