I had juvenile RA and grew up with pain all my life. The hip situation got really worse during the pandemic. I was really fearful and skeptical about any surgery. I checked and researched and found HSS as the best. I also checked with my doctor friends and they recommended HSS because of their low infection rate post-surgery. I took the leap of faith and found Dr. McLawhorn as one of the best for this procedure. He explained the process to calm my fears. I had the surgery done in July 2022. I could walk and do my daily chores. I tell people that I got my life back. I’m only 52 and was going towards using a wheelchair had I not done the surgery. I recommend HSS to everyone who is looking for help. They are THE BEST.
