About

Dr. Imran Akhtar grew up in Brooklyn, New York. He attended Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, where he double-majored in Neuroscience and Economics, and went to medical school at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He started his orthopedic surgery residency in 2015 at Oklahoma State University – Center for Health Sciences. During his residency training, Dr. Akhtar developed a special interest in total hip and knee replacements. He further developed his specialized skills by completing a fellowship in adult reconstructive surgery at the Desert Orthopedic Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, in 2020.

Dr. Akhtar specializes in minimally invasive hip replacement, which reduces the size of surgical scars and expedites postoperative recovery. He also has interest in unicompartmental (partial) knee arthroplasty, including patellofemoral arthroplasty; and computer-navigated knee replacements, including the Rosa®, TMINI®, and Velys™ robotic-assisted knee replacement. 

Dr. Akhtar is a member of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons, and the American Osteopathic Association. 

In his free time, Dr. Akhtar enjoys long-distance running and spending time with his family.
