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

Understanding Hip Treatments

Patients Trust Our Atlanta Hip Doctors

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. Strong is very caring doctor. He pays attention and is very thorough. I like a doctor that has the bedside manner that he has which this doctor is not all about the money he's all about the patient. That's a rare find any more!! Highly highly recommend.

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.

Dr C exemplified beauty inside and out. She was a beautiful soul who loved her family, her patients and all the people who worked for and with her. It's so hard to accept but God knows best. May her beautiful soul rest in eternal peace and may God continue to keep and bless her family.

I'm a 58 year old female who required surgery to repair labrum and bicep this year. I'm now 4 1/2 months post surgery and 1 month post physical therapy and am incredibly pleased with the outcome. Dr. Chen and his staff were extremely professional and caring. He took time to explain in detail the surgery and necessary follow-up. He did an excellent job and I'm very grateful!

Dr. Morris is phenomenal when it comes to knee injury & surgery! He's the best - highly recommended.

I fractured my foot and was terrified of what would come next. This place is big, clean and you can feel the overall positive vibes from the entire staff. The x-ray techs took great care in the x-rays to make sure not to hurt me. The assistant Regina had me laughing while being careful and thorough with my cast. Dr. Raj Bohle was kind, knowledgeable, and answered all my questions. Specifically asked me what I needed, and reassured me that I would heal fine. The other two assistants were positive and kind and everyone put me at ease. Everything ran like clockwork here and I'm so thankful, since broken bones are scary.

Dr. Levine performed excellent surgery on me. He was very thorough in describing what to expect during all phases of the procedure from pre-op through post surgical procedures. His staff is very supportive and works hard to make sure all your needs are met.

I had total knee replacement surgery on May 30,2018. Dr. Matthew Levine was my surgeon. Dr. Levine made sure I understood the process and what to expect throughout recovery. Within 2 weeks I was walking 2 1/2 miles a day. By 4 weeks I was walking 5 miles a day. At the end of 5 weeks I was back in the pool doing water aerobics. Many people ask who my surgeon was because they know people who have never completely recovered. My point here is follow Dr.'s orders and Dr. Levine is the BEST!!!

Dr. Gleason was comforting. compassionate, competent and comprehensive in his treatment of the total rupture of Achilles Tendon of my left leg. He provided the first temporary plaster, and a week later operated upon my leg. The follow up was prompt and efficient. I had to contact him over phone early in the morning, and his guidance was clear, and very professional.
