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

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.

Dr. Goins is one of the best physicians I've ever had. He performed Disc Replacement surgery, C5-6 for me. He was so patient explaining what my issues were, what the MRI showed, what his course of action would be. My wife and I were IMMEDIATELY comfortable with him after spending only 10 minutes with him. His demeanor, personality, and skill level were superb. Post -surgery, I am pain free for the first time in over 20 years!! Every thing about Dr. Goins is A+++ in my opinion.

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.

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! (D.Biemiller August '18)

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! And the office staff at the Cumming office is friendly, professional and efficient - one of the best run medical offices I have ever visited. I would highly recommend Resurgens and Dr. Blanchard!

I have been a patient of Dr. Mowbray’s for almost 10 years. He had performed two surgeries on my hands in the past and I am having #3 next week. Besides being the excellent physician/surgeon that he is, he also cares about his patients and is thorough in his explanations and takes time to answer all my questions and concerns. His staff is also pleasant and the office is always meticulously clean and comfortable! I highly recommend Dr. Mowbray if you have hand/wrist/arm issues!!

I am so saddened by this news and always enjoyed working with Dr. C, a sentiment obviously shared by so many. My heart and thoughts go out to Resurgens and Dr. C's family during this difficult time.

These ease of scheduling with Resurgens was simple and quick with my injury! The office is very knowledgeable about insurance and filing. Dr. Levere is a very patient, kind, and thorough hand specialist. He listens to your concerns and is careful with your injury. He provides the best options of care when available and takes the necessary measures to figure out your problem before recommending any treatment. Stacey the NP is a "jewel"! She is very soft spoken, sweet, answers all of my many questions, and cared for me as well. Even on the visits I see her, Dr. Levere comes in to check that my visit went well and if I have any other questions. The professionalism starts from the entrance of the door, front office, assistant seating me in the room, MRI, and entire team! I really appreciate each you for all you have done. Even during the Pandemic.

I have been going to Dr. Fogle for about 5 years now. I finally had my shoulder surgery it went perfect. Very few doctors I trust like I do Dr Fogel. I would recommend him to any and all that are in the market for an incredible doctor. His staff is courteous knowledgeable and will go out of their way for you, that is very hard to find these days.

Saw Dr. Traub for a knee problem. When the conservative treatment didn't work, I was scheduled for a MRI and then arthroscopic surgery within 3 weeks. Dr. Traub and his staff take the time to explain the problem and the solution. I have never had to wait longer then 10 minutes in the outer or inner office. I love that the PT is down the hall. Great continuity of care.
