Welcome

Welcome to the website of Dr. Albi Qeli, orthopedic surgeon in Northern California. I specialize in joint replacement and revision surgery for the hip, knee, and shoulder. I have a particular interest in hip replacements and medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), and I also provide experienced care for fractures.

I offer treatments that are practical, evidence-based, and focused on results—whether surgical or nonsurgical. When medical evidence is limited or uncertain, I work closely with patients to weigh the options and make informed decisions together. I avoid approaches that lack proven benefit and aim to provide the best orthopedic care possible.

What patients are saying:

  • Albi was very informative about my care and clear on the things I needed to do to maintain improved health
  • Direct, successful, excellent
  • Dr Qeli was professional, knowledgeable, informative, and polite. Excellent experience.
  • Great visit
  • Confident and matter of fact. I felt comfortable with Dr Qeli and his ability to perform my surgery. A plus plus plus plus.
  • Dr. Albi Qeli is very knowledgeable and did an amazing job on my hip replacement. Other surgeons at other hospitals weren't sure how to go about my replacement because of me being younger (31). Dr. Qeli was very confident and made me feel safe. His priority was my safety and making sure I did not get any infections. He made sure I was healthy before surgery (multiple labs, calls and prescriptions). He is very gentle, clean and checked on me throughout the whole process. Thank you so much Dr. Qeli I'm forever grateful!!
