Hip Care
Restoring Your Ease of Movement—for Life!
SRO Hip Care Team
Our board-certified, fellowship-trained surgeons at Santa Rosa Orthopaedics have performed countless hip surgeries for patients throughout Northern California, helping to end their chronic pain and the restricted activities that often accompany it. Minimally invasive techniques help reduce post-surgical pain and recovery time. Recent years have also seen improved implants and more exacting physical therapy techniques to better assist the recovery and enhanced function of patients. Our orthopedic surgeons, in-house therapists, medical and physician assistants closely collaborate as a team, with the common goal of offering patients the best possible outcomes.
