Could you give me the name of a good doctor? I’d be willing to travel for good care
I am having surgery with Dr. Buly at Hospital for Special Surgery.
I was referred to him by Dr. Sink, who is considered one of the best hip surgeons in the world.
You will have to send his (Dr. Sink’s) office all your imaging before he will take an appointment with you, he only does PAO’s, he does not do THR’s but Dr. Buly does.
I am not sure what kind of imaging Dr. Buly requires before he sees you, his policy may or may not be the same as Dr. Sink.
I have also contacted Dr. Fragomen at HSS who kindly looked at all my imaging and gave me his opinion, all for free of charge, which was very nice of him.
Dr. Rozbruch is also considered one of the best hip and femur surgeons in the world, from what I understand he is cash only; however I have not confirmed that with his office. I do know someone that paid $30,000 out of pocket to have hip surgery with him.
Those are all at Hospital for Special Surgery.
Two other top surgeons are Dr. Kim at Boston Children’s Hospital and Dr. Novais at BCH. The waiting list is very long to see them, they are that good.
Those are the only surgeons I would ever allow to touch my body, I have complex injuries which will likely take 4-6 surgeries to fix.
All those surgeons specialize in patients who have had multiple scopes , labrum repairs, and other surgeries that did not work.
Also- if you need a THR, Dr. Buly uses the newest technology where only the liner of your hip will need to be replaced, not the whole joint. So it could potentially last 40 years instead of the typical 15 or 20.
