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

Dr. Finkelstein e is very professional and direct about what your injury is.  I have been very impressed with his knowledge and efficient run office. Although I hope to not need him after this, He will be my go to for back and neck issues. I recommend him 100%.

I had surgery with Dr. Goins last December. He was wonderful !! The PA and nurses at the office are great. Yes, they do remind you of your appointment. Yes, you may have a bit of a wait when you get there to see the doctor or PA. The reason for this is these people make SURE you understand everything and that all your questions are answered. I have heard them deal with the elderly and they are very patient. I appreciate this. Dr. Goins knew I was scared to have back surgery. He did not rush any of my appointments. I would rather wait for a doctor who takes their time with a person than one who over books, rushes in, quickly goes over things and rushes out leaving you still having questions.

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

The doctors and PA are excellent, Dr. Gary Stewart [and] PA Rowland Spencer are the greatest. They make you feel like family concern to all your questions I highly recommend this Fayettville, Ga. location. Thank you.

In my search I wanted to find someone not only technically qualified but one with a personality and one with whom I could build a relationship. He performed a total hip replacement on my right hip in mid-Summer 2015, my left hip in December 2017, and total replacement of my right knee in December 2017. In all my interactions with Dr. Kim and his staff they were professional and showed concern for my health and safety. I would recomment Dr. Stephen Kim for your hip/knee orthopedic needs.

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!

Michael Quackenbush is as talented and thorough as the best trauma surgeons in the country. And I’ve flown to many of them.

I can say with no hesitation that Dr. Cone-Sullivan saved my life. I was in a horrible car accident, and after 4 procedures and 2 surgeries - I am living a much better life. She listened to me, worked with me, even held my hand when I was crying. The nursing staff that also took care of my were always so kind. I can't tell you how grateful I am. Thank you, may God bless you and your family.

I just can't say enough about Resurgens and Dr. Chris Blanchard. I have had moderate to severe pain in my neck, shoulders, and right arm for many years. Dr. Blanchard did ACDF for me on 2 levels 10 days ago, and I feel better than I have in 20 years! I'm essentially pain free! Dr. Blanchard is caring, patient, and professional - I would highly recommend him!

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