Bio

Paul K. Gilbert, MD



    Dr. Gilbert graduated from USC School of Medicine in 1983 and completed a residency in Orthopaedic Surgery at Los Angeles County – USC Medical Center.  He has practiced at Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena, California since 1989.  Dr. Gilbert enjoyed a close association with Dr. George Mulfinger, an early leader in the advancement of joint replacement, and developed expertise in total joint replacement which is the main focus of his practice today.

    Founder and director of the Joint Replacement Team at Huntington Hospital, Dr. Gilbert has cultivated the team approach to this marvelous surgery.  Input from multiple services, including therapists to pharmacists, contributed to the Huntington publication, Total Hip and Knee Replacement Journal: Your Personal Guide and Workbook.  A class is also available to which patients and their families and friends are highly encouraged to attend. 

    Our focus is on patient satisfaction, comfort and results.  Attention is directed toward both short and long term outcomes.  Our philosophy includes a mission towards a pleasant peri-operative experience, quick recovery and excellent long term survivability.


    Our office is relatively small.  We share space with a pulmonologist, Dr. Michael Gurevitch and a urologist, Dr. Ramin Khalili.  The staff is dedicated to personal attention, individual needs and respect for your time.

    Dr. Gilbert resides in the Pasadena area with his wife, Cindy, and their two boys, Jim and Christopher.  His outside interests include family activities, church activities, exercise, skiing, golf, scuba diving, and travel.
