See If You’re a Candidate
If two or more of these sound familiar, it’s time for a real conversation.
▸ Pain that follows you to bed. Hip or groin pain that limits walking, standing, or a full night’s sleep.
▸ Everyday moves take a strategy. Stairs, socks, and getting in and out of the car now need a plan.
▸ The usual fixes stopped working. Rest, medication, injections, or therapy no longer bring real relief.
▸ You’ve been told to wait. “Bad enough” is not a milestone worth reaching.
Not the Hip Surgery Your Parents Had
Dr. Mitchell reaches the joint by moving muscles aside instead of cutting through them. The muscles that stabilize your hip stay intact, so you get moving sooner, with less pain, and without most of the strict hip precautions older techniques required.
Muscle-Sparing Technique
Your hip muscles are preserved, not cut, for a faster and more comfortable recovery.
Home the Same Day
Most knee replacements are outpatient - you recover in the comfort of your own home.
Opioid-Free Recovery
Pain control built without narcotics or the fog and side effects that come with them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hip replacement is typically covered by Medicare and most major insurance plans when it’s medically necessary. Our team will help you understand your benefits before surgery.
Not exactly. “Anterior” describes where the incision is made. “Muscle-sparing” describes the goal: moving muscles aside instead of cutting through them. That’s why most of Dr. Mitchell’s patients walk within hours and go home the same day.
Most patients do not need the strict precautions of older techniques. You can usually sit, bend, and move more naturally from the start, with clear guidance for your first few weeks.
Most last for decades. Large registry studies show nearly 9 in 10 hip replacements still working at 15 years, and today’s implant materials are expected to wear even better.
For some younger, active patients, hip resurfacing caps the worn surface and keeps more of your own bone. Dr. Mitchell will tell you honestly which option fits your hip.
