He culminated his training in the United Kingdom and Germany as the recipient of the prestigious Hip Society Maurice E. Müller Traveling Fellowship. Dr. Halawi is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery.
Dr. Halawi's primary interest is in joint replacement of the hip and knee including complex and revision surgeries. He is a strong believer in patient-centered surgery, utilizing a variety of surgical approaches, implants, and evidence-based perioperative protocols to optimize outcomes for each patient. He is skilled in minimally invasive and rapid recovery techniques, and is an expert in same-day total joint replacement.
In addition to his clinical duties, Dr. Halawi is the Medical Director for the Joint Commission Certified Hip and Knee Replacement Program at Methodist Dallas Medical Center. He is involved in designing hospital processes for efficiency and excellence as well as providing expert consultation and oversight for quality and safety.

"I really cannot imagine anything better than taking a patient with severe pain and poor quality and be able to transform their lives and see them happier and functional again. …There is also nothing more intellectually satisfying than playing an active role in advancing medicine through research and training the next generations of orthopaedic surgeons” he says.
