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

Understanding Hip Treatments

Patients Trust Our Atlanta Hip Doctors

If you are looking for the best Orthopedic Surgeon for knee or hip replacement Dr. Kim is the one! Dr. Kim replaced both of my knees, 7 years and 8 months ago and was fantastic. I had complete trust in his abilities and excellent care from him as well as Andrea and Josh. Having a good Physical Therapist is also key to and excellent recovery. All the Physical Therapist I talk to highly recommend Dr. Kim and that speaks volumes as well as a highly respected reputation!

I am very impressed with Dr. Simon and his medical staff. I had ongoing shoulder pain when I first went to Dr. Simon several months ago. He spent quality time evaluating my condition and conducted a thorough assessment based on my symptoms. I really liked that he took a conservative approach and suggested a cortisone injection without a mention of surgery. When I returned a couple of months later with continued pain, he suggested an MRI, which revealed a full thickness tear in my rotator cuff. Again, Dr. Simon spent a great deal of time with me reviewing and thoroughly explaining the results of the MRI in details that I could understand. Unfortunately, I will need surgery to repair the tendon, but because of Dr. Simon’s professionalism and attentiveness of his nurse, Melanie, and surgical coordinator, Tonya, I feel confident heading into surgery in a couple of weeks.

I saw Dr. Albritton yesterday. My entire visit took less than 30 minutes. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Dr Albritton was through and to the point It was a great experience from beginning to end. I highly recommend them and Dr. Albritton.

I have been to this office twice Dr. Doug Widener and all the staff have been absolutely fantastic. Dr. Widener exceeded my expectations and figured out quickly my issues. I have a horrible fear of needles but he managed to relax me enough that it wasn’t so bad at all! Highly recommend this office and Dr. Widener and love that they have a physical therapy unit in the same office!

Dr. Lundy is the best! He treated me for a fractured pelvis about 4 years ago and later on in 2015 I went back where he treated me for something I had wrong with my right leg and needed an external fixator and I feel amazing now. I had seen many other doctors who never offered me the options he did. Very smart man, professional, and makes you feel comfortable. Highly recommended 5 star service. Much respect for this Doctor! Thank you Dr. Lundy!

This orthopedic doctor (and staff) actually care, which is a blessing in this day and time when one is in pain!!! I'm very fortunate to have found him! Dr Finklestein is associated with Resurgens Ortho Group in Cumming, Ga.

She was such an uplifting doctor she will be missed.

Dr. Titelman did a great job on my elbow. Before surgery, I had two bone spurs pinching a nerve and grew tired of the aching and pain. After seeing two other orthopedic surgeons, who incorrectly misdiagnosed my issue, Dr. Titelman was able to tell me what was going on, explained all the possible ramifications if I chose to go along with the surgery, and suggested I wait until I was really ready, because "surgery is nothing anyone should rush into". Dr. Titelman is a talented and gifted doctor.

Dr. Hall has been my doctor for many years. He was very patient with my knee issues; he helped me with my arthritis in every way he could until I finally made the decision to have a knee replacement. My knee surgery went very well. Dr. Hall was empathetic and honest about the procedure. My results have been great and I owe it to his professionalism and excellent skills. Plus - Dr. Hall is super nice and I feel like he genuinely cares about me.

Dr. Rosenstein performed a Total Knee Replacement on my right knee in February of 2017. His professionalism and expertise have allowed me to regain my strength and mobility. He is talented, honest and caring. I highly recommend him.
