Orthopedic Surgeon in Guatemala Hip and Knee Replacement
From Israel to Guatemala, to give your life back its movement
Orthopedic Surgeon and subspecialist in Hip and Knee Arthroplasty trained in Israel, serving patients in Guatemala City
Dr. José Roberto Arriola Mansilla
Physician and Surgeon | Orthopedic Surgeon | Subspecialist in Hip and Knee Arthroplasty
5 years of experience | Trained in Israel | Trilingual | License #19099
A calling forged across two continents
The foundation of it all: medicine with Guatemalan roots
Dr. Arriola began his training at the University of San Carlos de Guatemala, the country’s most important medical institution, where he developed the clinical fundamentals that today support every diagnosis and surgical decision he makes.
Israel: where orthopedics is practiced at the highest level
For six years, Dr. Arriola specialized in Trauma and Orthopedic Surgery at Ben Gurion University of the Negev and Barzilai Medical Center — one of the world’s leading reference centers in joint surgery. Training that very few physicians in Guatemala have had access to.
Subspecializing in joint replacement
After completing his specialty, Dr. Arriola pursued further training specifically in Hip and Knee Arthroplasty at the same Israeli center, solidifying the technical level he applies today in every joint replacement surgery in Guatemala.
Diploma in Hip and Knee Periprosthetic Infections
Periprosthetic infections are one of the most difficult complications to manage in joint surgery. In 2025, Dr. Arriola completed his specific diploma on this topic at the Catholic University of Argentina, a level of specialization few orthopedic surgeons in Central America have.
“I am passionate about helping patients with musculoskeletal problems, especially those suffering from hip and knee osteoarthritis. My commitment goes beyond surgery: it’s giving you back the quality of life you deserve, with honesty, dedication, and the experience that’s only forged by training with the best.”Dr. Roberto Arriola
