Atlanta Hip Doctors

Hip pain affects millions of people annually. Early treatment is key to avoiding further complications. At Resurgens Orthopaedics, our Atlanta hip specialists aim to diagnose the cause and develop personalized treatment plans. Schedule an appointment to explore options for your mobility.

Understanding Hip Anatomy

The foundation of your mobility lies in the hip joint, the largest ball-and-socket joint in the body. Imagine a smooth, rounded ball (femoral head) at the top of your thigh bone (femur) fitting snugly into a cup-like socket (acetabulum) in your pelvis. This simple design allows for a wide range of motion, from walking to jumping. But the hip is more than just connecting bones: Powerful muscles surround the joint, providing strength and control for everyday movement. Understanding the hip's structure empowers you to describe your hip pain to your doctor better, and work together to find the right treatment for you.


What Causes Hip Pain?

Due to the hip's complexity, hip pain can originate in many different parts of the joint. Common hip conditions include arthritis, injuries from overuse or accidents, and bursitis, the inflammation of fluid sacs cushioning the joint.

Muscle strains, tendonitis, and bone abnormalities can also contribute to hip pain. If you're experiencing hip pain, our Atlanta hip specialists at Resurgens Orthopaedics can help pinpoint the cause and create a personalized treatment plan.

When Should You See a Doctor For Hip Pain?

If you're experiencing significant hip pain or limitations in movement that affect your ability to sit, stand, or walk comfortably, it's time to see one of our hip doctors in Atlanta. Here are some other symptoms that signal you should see a hip specialist:

  • New or persistent hip pain

  • Difficulty moving your hip or leg

  • Inability to put weight on your leg

  • Hip pain following a fall or injury

  • Sudden swelling or redness around the hip

  • Hip pain accompanied by fever or chills

Patients Trust Our Atlanta Hip Doctors

I've been a patient at both the orthopaedic medical center and rehab center for a few years, and will continue to come back when needed. The doctors and their staff are very friendly, and always available for an appointment. The therapists at the rehab center are also great - with awesome bedside manners and developing helpful programs that you can do at home too. In my experience, they put physical therapy first to solve any issues, versus jumping right into suggesting surgery. Great facility!

I am writing to express my sincere thanks to Dr. Marly N. Dows-Martinez, M.D. for her technical expertise and compassionate patient care. As a former military pilot, I developed lower back pain and radiating pain that she correctly identified as Sciatica. She took the time to listen and evaluate my symptoms, then methodically progressed through the levels or remediation. As a result of her actions, the excruciating radiating pain down my thigh and legs have gone from a 10 plus to a 1-2 level. Well done and thank you so much.

I had my thumb stuck for about 5 years with the trigger thumb problem, and later went to my PCP to complain due to the excruciating pain that never went away and she referred me to doctor Christopher Walsh in Fayetteville. The surgery was scheduled at the location in Morrow, GA. I was nervous and he guaranteed me 99% success rate. It's been almost 4 years and my thumb is like nothing ever happened. Thanks doctor Christopher!

Dr. Willett was cordial, knowledgeable, and took the time to make sure all my questions were answered.

Dr. Koch demonstrates superb skill as a physician/surgeon. Presents warmth caring manner, & personal connection with his patients. Patient of his for a number of years, I've always been extremely grateful for his medical expertise. Performed emergency surgery on me when nerves in my spine were crushed. Excellent surgery. Wonderful care and concern during recovery. Maintains a most professional and personable approach from diagnosis through medical action. Open communication & presents options.

Dr Lane knows his craft. He doesn't mind taking the time to explain what you don't understand. He treats you like a person and not like a number. He cares about his patients. I have high confidence in his ability as my doctor. I have never NEVER had an issue.

I broke my leg on 11/22/2016. I met with Dr. Gary S. Simon for a consultation. He was very optimistic and encouraging. This doctor has excellent bedside manners and he care about his patients. After my surgery he spoke with my family to let them know how i was doing. He also informed them on how surgery went. His PA Kyle is also a very respectful person. I would recommend this practice to my family and friends. Thanks you all for your help and assistance. I will see you soon during my follow-up.

What an experience! Very patient and personable. Did not at all feel rushed. Felt as if he genuinely cared about my recovery.

Doctor Albert and his staff treated me very well, polite, on time, efficient, friendly. Had a procedure done from Dr. Albert’s request and now I am pain free. I would highly recommend Resurgens, Roswell.

The staff and Dr. Pines were wonderful. Took the time to listen and explain the issue to me and were very thorough. Excellent team!
