Question 1

What conditions do you treat?

Accepted Answer

We specialize in treating a wide range of hip and knee conditions including arthritis, joint replacements, sports injuries, fractures, and degenerative joint diseases. Our team provides both surgical and non-surgical treatment options tailored to each patient's needs.

Question 2

How long is the recovery time after hip replacement surgery?

Accepted Answer

Recovery time varies depending on the individual and the type of procedure performed. Generally, patients can expect to use crutches for 2-4 weeks after surgery. Most patients can return to light activities within 6-8 weeks, and full recovery typically takes 3-6 months. Your surgeon will provide a personalized recovery plan based on your specific situation.

Question 3

What is the difference between hip arthroscopy and hip replacement?

Accepted Answer

Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat certain hip conditions using small incisions and a camera. It's typically used for younger patients with specific conditions like labral tears or impingement. Hip replacement involves replacing the damaged joint with an artificial implant and is usually recommended for patients with severe arthritis or joint damage.

Question 4

Do you accept insurance?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we accept most major insurance plans. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to verify coverage before your appointment. Our office staff can also assist you with insurance verification and answer any questions about coverage and payment options.

Question 5

How do I schedule an appointment?

Accepted Answer

You can schedule an appointment by calling our office directly or using our online contact form. For urgent matters, please call our office during business hours. We also offer emergency consultation services for acute injuries and conditions.

Question 6

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Accepted Answer

Please bring a valid ID, your insurance card, a list of current medications, any relevant medical records or imaging studies (X-rays, MRI scans), and a list of questions you'd like to discuss with your doctor. If you've seen other doctors for this condition, please bring those records as well.

Question 7

Are there non-surgical treatment options available?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer various non-surgical treatment options including physical therapy, medication management, injections (cortisone, hyaluronic acid), and lifestyle modifications. Surgery is typically considered only when conservative treatments have been exhausted or when the condition significantly impacts your quality of life.

Question 8

What is robotic-assisted surgery?

Accepted Answer

Robotic-assisted surgery uses advanced technology to help surgeons perform procedures with enhanced precision. The surgeon controls a robotic arm that provides greater accuracy in implant placement, potentially leading to better outcomes and faster recovery. This technology is available for both hip and knee replacement procedures.
