As an avid yogi who loves to walk and be active, I was delighted to meet Dr. Alexander McLawhorn and finally receive an accurate diagnosis of my hip arthritis and impingement. Too often when you are over 65, there is a focus first on the back, piriformis or hip flexors that may be causing the painful sciatica that kept increasing until I couldn't walk even a block. After exhausting all other other alternatives, my sister recommended I see Dr. McLawhorn at HSS. She sang his praises for his help with her knee and hip. His x-rays and expert assessment were right on, and the results are that I now have my life and movement back again! I am 7-weeks out from my hip replacement with no pain, and I am now walking faster than I have in a very long time. How do I thank Dr. McLawhorn other than to communicate the deep gratitude I have for his serious, kind, technical, knowledgeable, and highly successful surgical abilities to achieve a hip replacement that extends quality of life and movement to people like me. I recommend him and his kind and thoughtful staff at HSS to anyone who may need his medical and surgical expertise. Thank you Dr. McLawhorn!
