Dr. Ali Oliashirazi
Dr. Ali Oliashirazi, or "Dr. Oli" as his patients affectionately call him, is an orthopedic surgeon with expertise in joint replacement, minimally invasive, computer-assisted and robotic surgeries.
Dr. Oli has developed a world-class joint replacement program staffed by physician specialists who use advanced techniques and state-of-the-art technology. It includes extensive education to prepare his patients about what to expect before, during, and after their procedure. Under his leadership, the joint replacement program at Cabell Huntington Hospital:
- consistently earns high patient satisfaction scores.
- has been awarded the Advanced Certification for Joint Replacement from the Joint Commission for adhering to the most rigorous standards for quality in hip and knee replacements.
- has earned continuous national recognition from Healthgrades.
"These awards and ratings are based on objective data about patient outcomes and complication rates," he said. "When it's time to have a hip or knee replacement or when you need any other kind of orthopedic surgical procedure, you want it done right. Patients look at this data to help them make decisions about where to go for their surgery, and I think that's why patients come to us from many different states. They're willing to travel far — very far — to get the best outcomes."
Dr. Oli currently serves as the Professor and Chair of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine at Marshall University. He is also the School of Medicine’s Vice Dean for Business Development.

He was the President of AOA Medical Honor Society while in medical school, and completed his orthopedic training at the prestigious Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. He is a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon and his passion and expertise is joint replacement surgery, specifically knee replacement surgeries. He lectures extensively, and his international and national research has received multiple first place awards.
