Hip Doctors for Hip Pain and Surgery in Metro Atlanta

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

I have to say I was in a tight spot with my foot injury and these people have done everything they could to help me out. Great, friendly, and fast. Their staff was a tremendous help, thank you guys for helping a college student who was having a hard month.

I can’t say enough about my experience with my hip surgery. Dr Hanna and his team are genuine, knowledgeable , proactive and caring. I only met Dr Hanna twice but I immediately felt comfortable. He is smart, experienced, up on his game and genuinely concerned. I loved his sense of humor, ‘bedside manner’ and his over all personality. He took his time with me making sure I was aware of the process from start to finish. He knows his stuff. He indulged me as my nervousness made me crack silly jokes, in my typical form. Post surgery same day; I feel amazing! Dr. Hanna and the team, work as tribe, together , as they combine their knowledge creating an amazing experience for me. Highly recommend!

With two boys in sports, we spend a lot of time here. We all see Dr Makhuli and he and his staff are amazing! Two surgeries, lots of broken bones, and mom with a bad knee - he handles us all with flexibility in his schedule and fantastic attitude.

Staff Excellent. Never waited more than 5 minutes. All very helpful...Dr. Bhole very patient, caring and knowledgeable..Excellent surgeon with great reputation.

Dr. Traub is not only highly skilled in his profession, he is caring, compassionate and as nice as he is handsome:-) He provides detailed explanations during pre/post-operative visits/procedures. I had a large meniscus tear repaired. My speedy recovery not only shocked "me," but my family and friends, as well!! I only used crutches the day of surgery and the next. 2 weeks post-surgery, 2 visits to the PT, I regained full range of motion in my knee and was able to resume my 30 minute walks.

The most welcoming and genuinely caring doctor's visit I have ever experienced. I was greeted with kindness and a smile and a sense of true concern. Every person in this office was abundantly helpful and went over and beyond to insure my visit was comfortable. I recommend Dr. Jane Tan and her quality staff to anyone in need of orthopedic care. With sincerest thanks to this team!

I had a cervical issue for a number of years and it was seriously affecting my life as a guitarist/musician. The pain and numbness was so bad in my left arm / hand, I was virtually unable to play. After Dr. Bennett Grimm gave me ACDF surgery, I'm completely back to normal. I couldn't ask for better care and expertise than Bennett Grimm. Shout out also to Emily and Chelsey too! amazing work from Resurgens Orthopaedics... you guys totally ROCK!

I saw the Middlebrooks Team about my back and was pleased with their courtesy and the knowledge they shared concerning the pain I was experiencing. I have since gone to therapy and my back no longer hurts. Thank you for your help!

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!

Absolutely a phenomenal professional and surgeon. Never seems like he is in a hurry during visits or follow ups. Surgery on severed bicep tendon turned out better than I wouldve ever expected. The support staff for Dr. Patel including Jennifer Utshundi, Arifa Khan, and Erin Mingledorff PA make these visits like visiting family or friends.
