At Southern Sports Medicine Institute, the waiting time for hip replacement surgery is influenced by various factors. Here, expert orthopedic surgeons assess the severity of your condition, your overall health, and their availability to provide you with the best possible care. If your hip pain is severe or if it is significantly impacting your quality of life, our doctors may expedite the procedure. Before you can have a hip replacement, our doctors will need to ensure that you are in good health to undergo surgery. This could mean management of existing conditions such as heart disease or diabetes, which could potentially prolong the waiting period. Waiting times are capable of ranging from a few weeks to several months, as influenced by the various factors mentioned above. Both Dr. Thomas Gautsch MD, FACS, FAAO, and Dr. Lee Swiderek work diligently to ensure that patients receive treatment as quickly as possible, without compromising on the quality of care.  For more information, contact us or schedule an appointment online.
