LOOKING FOR A SURGEON?

Due to osteoarthritis of the hip, I was a total wreck - unable to walk a few blocks. I went to HSS and had anterior total hip replacement surgery performed by Dr. Alexander S. McLawhorn. The results were remarkable, no post-op pain and recovery in less than 3 weeks. TRULY AMAZING!

I'm a retiree and cautious in my health care decisions. I looked for a surgeon who was highly skilled, dedicated and at the forefront of research and cutting edge technology. I spoke with past HSS patients about their thoughts and experiences. After my consultation with Dr. McLawhorn I knew I was in trustworthy hands. He was humble, comforting, with a calm demeanor and confidence I wanted in the operating room. I left his office relieved my hip ailments would soon be a thing of the past. HSS Surgeons are all superb, but place your care in one who understands your needs and expectations. It's key to a successful outcome and recovery.

I now have my life back, making travel and vacation plans previously put on hold. My sincere thanks to HSS, Dr. M., and his wonderful staff who are always polite, knowledgeable and helpful.
