Dr. Stephen John Zabinski, MD

Excellent hip surgeon. I highly recommend him.

I had 2 total hip replacements done by Dr. Zabinski. When I woke up after surgery my arthritis was gone. The anesthesiologist and I spent some time working on anesthesia for me since I take an MAOI for depression and can't be off it. Hip replacement surgery is a modern day miracle. That makes Dr. Zabinski a modern day miracle worker. He was the best surgeon for me. I knew all his staff. The medical Center gave boutique care. His wife, Julie, is an excellent assistant and can be reached anytime. Leaving a voicemail gets you a return call the next day. This experience was more than I could hope for.

A hack with a god like attitude. Go to Rothman if you want it done correctly

Dr. Zabinsky has replaced both of my hips and they are perfect now. I can do anything I want. Recently went to see him about a knee problem. He sent me for an MRI and and now waiting to see him again. I have complete trust in his knowledge and him, and expect that my knee problem will be fixed.

Arrogant, condescending, and abrasive. His time and schedule is infinitely more important than yours. Zabinski scoped my knee and so far I'm no worse off, but no significant improvement either, so I can't attest to his surgical skills. I can say there has to be skilled surgeons out there who practice w/o his obnoxious attitude. Try Penn, Jeff or Rothman.

If you encounter the doctor when he is preparing for a vacation he is very outgoing and friendly. However, after a vacation he is totally the opposite as if he doesn’t want to be in the office. In addition, he finds consulting another doctor for a second option insulting.. the X Ray technician thinks she is a doctor.

Between my husband and I, we have seen Dr. Zabinski with concerns about 3 knees, 2 shoulders, 1 hip, and 2 back issues. Following his evaluations, we have had a total of 5 surgeries, which have significantly improved the quality of our lives! We hav e found him to be thorough, accurate, and considerate of our individual health styles. We couldn't be more confident of his care for our concerns!

I can't say enough good things about Dr . Zabinski . He did twq knee replacements for me and I was back to work cleaning carpets in six weeks both times. Then the most important a year later I somehow got a infection on one knee on top of my replacement. I contacted his office about three thirty on a Friday and was instructed to come In within a half hour. The Dr left the gym and returned to the office to take care of it right away do to the fact it was so far advanced and my leg was In sever danger. The Dr opened it up and cleaned it out and set up iv and wound care for me. Today I am walking on that leg totally healed. When you come that close to losing a leg you really appreciate ones talent. Thank you Dr Zabinski and Julie

Dr. Zabinski botched up my surgery to the point that I have permanent damage! He admitted that he screwed up, but unfortunately it was over the phone and I have no proof. His attitude is terrible and he can care less. Please choose another surgeon. I spoke with two people after my surgery that had similar results. Wish I had known this before I let him operate.

I have had three surgeries performed by Dr Zabinski & I he is the best. I love his bedside manner & he's really a very thorough physician. I have recommended a number of my friends to him, and they were very pleased with the results..

I love the new place.

I have been seeing this doctor for many years and have been blessed. I highly recommended.

not sure why anyone would see him. i was "pushed" into seeing him by my workman's compensation manager. He wanted to operate on me despite me requesting for conservative management. Luckily I received a second opinion and got physical therapy and am better. He has a terrible reputation for being a workman's comp monster. it's sad when you cannot trust your doctor to make the right decision for you, when it benefits their wallets.

Extremely rude and arrogant. He is loud and obnoxious to his staff. He is not interested in me while I was in a gown and naked underneath but told me how grate he is.

rude and uncaring. he tried to get me to have complicated surgery in the surgery center he owns, which is a conflict of interest. when i told him that i was told that i cannot have surgery in a surgery center, he yelled at me. would never have him operate on me. also his wife is his assistant. total conflict of interest

I saw dr zabinski in his court house office when I was 18 years old. I'd been having horrible groin pain for years. What he told me was that I don't understand what pain is at my age and neglected to offer me ant advise or refer me to someone who might help.

Been going to him for 12 years and can`t say enough good things about him, had 2 part. knee replacements and now time for a total and wouldn`t think of using someone else

I went to several local doctors to get opinions on my knee. I suffered a non-contact torn ACL during football that was hard for a few other doctors to diagnose without an MRI. Once it was a confirmed tear, I saw Dr. Matt Pepe at Rothman and Dr. Zabinski at Shore. Pepe has a fantastic reputation but I couldn't get past the bedside manner. He was entirely too quick to assess the situation and hand me a card for his assistant to schedule the surgery. Zabinski was the complete opposite. He sensed that I was looking for info and gave me as much info as he possibly could to satisfy any question I had. This was the first time I had every suffered such an injury and as an abnormally large person with my athletic career in peril I needed answers. I did the prehab and had the surgery. I was not entirely enthused with the system he has in place for preparation for surgery, as the girl who I spoke with, someone apparently in California, was not that well-versed with some of the specific equipment question I had, such as whether or not I would get an ice unit, if I needed a CPM machine, etc. Anyway, surgery at the center went perfectly and my recovery was, for the most part, very good. Obviously I worked my butt off. I used the rehab outfit attached to the building since the man who runs it seemed to have a good reputation with athletes. I had some pretty painful patellar issues that surfaced late in my rehab as a result of the particular rehab course and when I went back to Zabinski, he made it seem like there was no real solution to it other than receiving Hyalgan shots. I decided to consult with a local Dr. of PT, Terry Andrus, and he put me on a rehab program that solved the patellar issue within a month.I am now 1.5 years post-op and do it all - play football, sprint, lift weights, skateboard...anything I want.Dr. Zabinski is an incredibly motivated person who thrives with a ridiculous schedule. I was sitting in the office for an appointment at one point around 6:30am...yes, AM, and the lady next to me said Dr. Zabinski was seeing some patients at the hospital at 2am. Mind you, this was the day after he typically does surgeries. When does the man sleep? At any rate, I think that he is about as conservative and practical a surgeon as you will find around here. No matter who you choose, make sure you see several doctors and get several opinions. The wait to see him is indicative of his popularity. If you can get in quickly to an orthopedic surgeon, he probably either does too many operations (not conservative) or stinks as a surgeon.I recommend him as much as possible. Is his business run perfectly? No, but when it comes down to brass tacks, the manner in which he executes the surgery seems to be perfect. Granted, it is up to you to really make sure you need surgery, but if you do, he's the guy.

He is an outstanding caring doctor he went through many tests before he did surgery. The follow up was great my shoulder is great now. I have a problem with my knee and he is my surgeon of choice

Excellent Doctor compaired to other ones I have been to, knows what hes doing and great bedside manners
