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

I shattered my ankle in April and Dr. Bruggers operated on my leg repairing both my tibia and fibula with a few plates and screws. Every time I spoke with her, she reassured me that I'd be okay and that my progress was going well. She explained the whole process to me and she was clear about how physical therapy would go as well. She answered all of my questions and I trusted her with my treatment. Dr. Bruggers is a wonderful doctor.

I am very impressed with Dr. Simon and his medical staff. I had ongoing shoulder pain when I first went to Dr. Simon several months ago. He spent quality time evaluating my condition and conducted a thorough assessment based on my symptoms. I really liked that he took a conservative approach and suggested a cortisone injection without a mention of surgery. When I returned a couple of months later with continued pain, he suggested an MRI, which revealed a full thickness tear in my rotator cuff. Again, Dr. Simon spent a great deal of time with me reviewing and thoroughly explaining the results of the MRI in details that I could understand. Unfortunately, I will need surgery to repair the tendon, but because of Dr. Simon’s professionalism and attentiveness of his nurse, Melanie, and surgical coordinator, Tonya, I feel confident heading into surgery in a couple of weeks.

One of the best spine surgeons in the business. Dr. Greenfield saw me after 2 prior failed surgeries to repair my lower back. I had lived with crippling back pain for 10 years. I had heard of Dr. Greenfield's expertise and I was grateful to finally see him. He rebuilt my lower back and its been 3 years since the surgery and he made sure everything went as planned. I have had the best 3 years since the surgery. Was able to work again and do all the things that I had missed doing with my family. Due to see him again shortly for a follow up. Thank you Dr. Greenfield for your expertise and caring patient manner.

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!!

The Staff at Resurgens orthopaedics are the best and the care is excellent. Dr David Goodman is a very good, friendly caring and compassionate. I even received a call from my Doctor personally and the nursing Staff after my surgery. The Fayelvilke team and particularly the surgical center team in Morrow are just exceptionally wonderful. I love u guys. Keep up the good work and the excellent care.

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

Dr. Chambers is an exceptional physician. She has treated my spine problems for several years, and I would not see any other doctor. She is very knowledgeable about the spine, and she has a great "bedside manner." She is soft-spoken, looks you in the eye when she speaks, and makes sure that any and all questions you may have are answered before you leave. Her staff is friendly and helpful. I love Resurgens and Dr. Chambers!

Dr. Schneider, nurses, x-ray technicians, receptionist and staff members made each visit very positive and pleasant. For my injuries (both wrists), they provided me with an understandable explanation as well as reasonable expectation for my recovery.

Dr. Schneider was very professional, prompt with his appointment attendance, very knowledgeable and an all around nice guy. Was nervous to have my first surgery ever and he made the experience much more tolerable than I expected. Thanks again!

The best doctor I have ever had. Doc rebuilt my ankle after basketball injury at 46 years old in 2012. Ran a half marathon 6 months after pins, plate and screws. Just recently has two meniscus tears repaired. Dr McQusil is an excellent doctor and a great person. I would not think of allowing another doctor to handle my sports injuries or any other related issues. Dr. McQusil is the best.
