About Me

Dr. Yalamanchili is an orthopedic surgeon who focuses on hip and knee replacement and preservation. He performs minimally invasive joint replacement as well as knee arthroscopy.

Specializing in joint replacement and preservation enables Dr. Yalamanchili to offer treatment that brings his patients relief from pain and the ability to return to daily activities and hobbies they may not have been able to do for months or even years. Recognizing that each patient is unique, he takes an individualized approach to care.

Dr. Yalamanchili is interested in robotic hip replacement. Since becoming the first surgeon in the state of Maryland to do Mako robotic hip replacement surgery using the anterior approach, he has performed a large volume of Mako hip procedures. He believes that robotic surgery with computer navigation aids him in correctly sizing and placing implants, minimizing dislocation and restoring leg lengths accurately.

Dr. Yalamanchili is the director of joint replacement at University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Medical Center. He is also a member of the University of Maryland Joint Network, a group of surgeons known for their advanced expertise and positive outcomes in total hip and knee replacement. He is also among the specialists who make up the Upper Chesapeake Orthopedic Specialty Group

In addition, Dr. Yalamanchili has won awards and scholarships for excellence in research and academics. On multiple occasions, he has been named a "Top Doctor" in orthopedic surgery by Baltimore magazine.

  • Love Dr Yalamanchili

  • I can honestly say that I'm truly disappointed in this doctor. I researched orthopedic doctors in my area. Read his profile several times. Read reviews. I felt positive waiting a month to see him. But my visit experience was negative. I was made to feel like my problem was trivial, not up to his level expertise. Im the customer. I'm paying for my care. Why did it have to be like this? Him and his nurse made me feel like I did not matter. It was strange, non-engaging , one-sided and scary. No one smiled, no emotion whatsoever. I hated those sliding doors in the rooms. It made it feel so institutionalized and horror movie like.

  • A pleasure to work with very thoughtful

  • Always taken care of

  • Dr Raj Yalamanchili is the best. Recently a friend of mine fell and broke both hips. Talking to a mutual friend, I asked who did the surgery? The mutual friend said ..some surgeon named Dr. Raj. I relied, "Well, then. Thankfully, she had the BEST." Once I was speaking to an operating room nurse who has since retired and told her Dr Raj was performing my hip replacement. I didn't know him. I asked her what she thought of him. Her comments were laudatory. She said she was in the operating room preparing for surgery with him and she had tremendous respect for him. She started to perform prep and he looked at her and said: " I do my own prep". His only shortcoming, If It can be called one, I that that he is direct and honest to a fault. Brilliant person and surgeon. Doesn't provide you any cover from letting you know how old you are.

  • Came for second opinion. Dr. Was excellent wish I had chosen him to begin with. I am very pleased.

  • Dr.Yalamanchili was very professional and informative during my entire experience

  • Dr. Raj is an excellent role model for doctors for his gentle, informative and clear cut directives for a patient's well being.

  • Good

  • Very good

  • Dr Raj went over everything in detail, explaining what I should and shouldn't do with my knee going forward. He had taken an X-ray to be sure there were no issues with any of the hardware - there was not.

  • It was all a good experience.

  • I like my Dr. The first time that I had with him. Dr. Raj is a great Dr..

  • Dr. Raj has been extremely professional and comfortable for me to ask questions. Even if some sounded weird. He explained all that was going to happen. He asked if I had questions or that my daughter had questions. If we understood everything which we did. I well highly recommend this man for services. I am now walking, still recuperating, but I have no pain. That in itself is a blessing.

  • The doctor made some recommendations for care of my knee that will help me with my everyday routine.

  • Fine

  • Great service and great staff
