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

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.

Dr. Harvey is amazing! I have been living with chronic pain for 5+ years. I went to see him and he immediately diagnosed my condition as SI joint dysfunction. I am now 15 days post-op and virtually pain free after the iJoint surgery. He, along with his very talented staff have changed my life. Along with his mad skills, he is also a very genuine and compassionate person. I can tell he loves what he does. I now consider him my friend for life. Thanks Dr. Harvey!!!!

THE BEST SURGEON HANDS DOWN! I had a rollover accident while driving a concrete truck. Worker's Comp was paying my medical bills and if you've dealt with worker's comp before, you know how they like to rush the recovery and cut you off financially. Mark McBride took his time to listen, he was compassionate and understanding. My arm was severely hurt and he really does work miracles. I highly recommended him!

I would recommend Dr Fogle to anyone. He repaired my rotator cuff. The MRI indicated an 80% tear, the actual surgery reveal a 100% tear. Dr. Fogel said it was one of the worst he had seen. Of course I had heard horror stories about this surgery and expected a difficult recovery. To my great surprise the first day of PT began with range of motion at 176 out of 180 degrees. The recovery and PT was quite easy. I attribute that to Dr Fogel's great skill and dedication. Thank you Dr. Fogel!!

I have osteoarthritis and have had 6 hand surgeries with Dr. Holliger. You won't find a better hand surgeon or a better surgery center than Dr. Holliger or Resurgens. After 3 cyst removals, 2 carpal tunnel releases, and most importantly, removal of the bone at the base of my thumb, I am virtually pain free. I have no scars from the cyst removals or the carpal tunnel releases and never even took a pain pill afterwards. Dr Holliger took excellent care of me and I highly recommend him. I wish I had met him 15 years sooner. Needless suffering over fear of painful surgery was a total waste of time. I can't say enough about how my quality of life has improved because Dr. Holliger is such a great surgeon. One more surgery to go and I will be good as new! Thank you for taking such good care of me!

I was involved in an accident which left my right hand and wrist in a lot of pain. She went above and beyond before, during, and after my surgery. Dr. Bilbrew is not only extremely knowledgeable but she was also extremely attentive. She took the time to explain each step of treatment to me in a way which I could understand. I am forever grateful to Dr. Bilbrew for making my road to recovery as quick and easy as possible. After her treatment, I am pain free! I owe it all to Dr. Bilbrew!

I visited Dr. Jonas to discover I had a seriously fractured scaphoid in my right wrist. After giving me all my options to correct this condition I chose to have Dr. Jonas remove and reshape the bone and a screw was inserted. I was extremely pleased with Dr. Jonas as well as everyone at the office I have dealt with. I would highly recommend Dr. Jonas to anyone in need of similar services. Approximately 10 years ago Dr. Jonas repaired a similar bone in my left wrist. Great results on both!

Dr Dhulipala took a cyst out of my wrist and I the entire experience was a good as it could be. He was able to get my operation done within a month of my visit. After the surgery, his nursing staff called me everyday during the first week to make sure I was ok and also made me feel like it was ok to call in if I had any questions at all. It now 2 weeks later and I feel no pain after surgery.

Dr. Velez is always compassionate and patient. I trust him totally with my medical needs. He has helped me tremendously from my pre-op visits through my surgery and post-op. His office cannot be nicer either. They are a wonderful group of individuals who go beyond courtesy and friendliness.

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.
