Lol. Plenty of great choices there, too.I am with Resurgens Orthopaedics.
We are better than Peachtree and AOC
Lol. I have to agree. I’m a PT and had Dr Hanna perform my TKA 4 years ago. Imho the best in Atlanta. Dr Steve smith at POC and Dr KEN Kress at Total Joint Specialists I’m Alpharetta-Cumming also a solid choice.I am with Resurgens Orthopaedics.

One of You guy’s founders, John Garrett, did my ACL in 89, if i recall. He was the Falcons ortho at the time, and one of the early pioneers of the current, less invasive, method. Was bending it within 2-3 days ( now its 2-3 hours). Wonderful man and Doctor, and I still have the video of the surgery taken from inside my kneeI am with Resurgens Orthopaedics.

Houston Clinic in Atlanta is goodGurley thread got me thinking.

Not that docs don’t matter BUT I think it’s the patient’s adherence to the post-surgical PT that makes the difference in the outcome.Both of my parents had knee replacements done by Dr. Mahoney at Athens Orthopedic with good results.

North of Atlanta and possibly, depends on the distance I guess.What’s your location? And/or would you travel for an orthopedicGurley thread got me thinking.

Samsara has more insight on the Atlanta region physicians. I’ve treated Mary Albert’s patients and I’ve had nothing but good results. Ranging from full range of motion by the first two weeks and then being discharged in 8-12 visits.North of Atlanta and possibly, depends on the distance I guess.What’s your location?

I used Dr. Waldrop and he is excellent. Highly recommend him.John Waldrop at the Hughston Clinic in Columbus. He just did a total knee on my wife. He repaired my best friend's ACL and meniscus tear in 1997 at age 35. 22 years later he plays tennis and pickleball over 200 days a year with no issues. But there are lots of great orthopedics out there.
Nobody at your practice is close to Duralde at P'Tree Ortho. Period.I am with Resurgens Orthopaedics.

As for hips you want a guy who does anterior replacement. WAY, way, faster recovery. Other than that there are allot of very competent docs around ATL. But my advice is find someone who does allot of the joint you need fixed. Someone who attended a top med school and followed it up with residency then a fellowship to hone their craft. Houston Clinic in Columbus is good, Peachtree Ortho in ATL, Ortho Atlanta, Resurgeons, all have good hip/knee folks. The coming thing is stem cell therapy to regrow joint cartilage. Baylor Med School and Baylor Hospital in DFW is doing this in a trial and a man I know has had it done v replacement. It takes some time for it to work but so far so good. This stem cell technique is coming so avoid replacement for as long as you can.Gurley thread got me thinking.

I second this opinion.
Stem cell not coming soon enough to help anyone who already has full blown OA. Might be developed enough to help my grandkids one day but the jury is still out. And yes, Duralde is fantastic, but he is one of many options for RTC pathology in Atlanta.As for hips you want a guy who does anterior replacement. WAY, way, faster recovery.

And there is more than one steakhouse in town...There are hamburger joints and there are steakhouses. Peachtree Orthopedics is a steakhouse.
There are allot of ortho's who are competent; who can do repairs. Duralde is one of the few who are elite. You are aware that he's perfected a repair for patients who are not candidates for full shoulder replacement but who require that procedure? That isn't the only technique he's developed either. There is a reason pro athlete patients come to see him from around the world. Why the Braves paid him tons. I'll take Xavier in a heartbeat if I'm looking for one of the best.Duralde is great shoulder guy, but we have plenty of guys and ladies who are just as good.
Don't know what it took to get into the trial at Baylor but gonna keep tabs JIC. Have had Bothe knees scoped and the right one is showing ominous signs again. It's always something. Getting older sucks.Stem cell not coming soon enough to help anyone who already has full blown OA. Might be developed enough to help my grandkids one day but the jury is still out.

Yes. Seems a lot of the knee patients who had arthroscopic menisectomy/chondroplasty procedures in the 1990s are TKA patients todayDon't know what it took to get into the trial at Baylor but gonna keep tabs JIC.
