Dr. Xhaferi offers hip replacement through a direct anterior approach. This approach has been shown to offer potentially faster recovery and improved early mobility. The anterior approach to total hip replacement is a muscle-sparing approach. The technique allows working between the muscles without disturbing them resulting in less surgical trauma and potentially less pain and earlier recovery.

Originally from New York, he and his family moved to Fredericksburg in October of 2018. When Dr. Xhaferi is not at work, he enjoys spending time with his family, skiing, swimming, and working out.
