Akbar Nawab, M.D.
Dr. Nawab has practiced at Ellis & Badenhausen since 2003 and has twice received recognition as “Top Doc” in Orthopaedics by Louisville Magazine during his tenure. He also consults with companies throughout the US and Europe due to his invention of knee implants in use today that are less invasive with faster patient recovery time. He is currently involved in several multicenter research studies and he lectures regularly, both nationally and internationally, on knee surgery techniques including new ACL surgery techniques, cartilage replacement, and outpatient partial and total knee replacement. Dr. Nawab is frequently invited by medical institutions to train other surgeons on partial knee replacement techniques, and is a clinical instructor for the University of Louisville Department of Orthopaedics. He has also served as a team physician for the Louisville Bats, the University of Louisville, Bellarmine University, and Jefferson County High School.
