Thank you for the information. That is really disappointing to hear. I have an appointment with him scheduled for August (yup, he books 4 months in advance) and i may have to think twice about keeping that one based on your review. I would love to find a surgeon closer to DC anyway....

probably too late now...this post is sort of old...but i have had labral tears on both hips and have had surgery on both hips. i am due for a revision surgery on the right side, as it still hurts. the left is doing great though. in terms of hip docs, i suggest going to a specialist that deals with labral tears (usually associated with femoral acetabular impingement) -- there are only a couple in the area.... a lot of the time (and in my case) the tears were caused by the FAI, which needs to be addressed in surgery.

I have read multiple threads about bunion surgery on here, and wanted to start one that dealt most with recommendations on local bunion surgeons. It would also be nice to get tips on who to avoid in the area....I am leaning towards Mark Myerson in Baltimore; he is supposed to be top-notch at least when it comes to general foot and ankle surgeries; I am hoping this also includes bunion surgery =) Mine is tiny, you can hardly even see it, BUT the pain I am experiencing is deep joint pain, so it needs to be treated soon.

Anyone recommend or not recommend any DC, MD, VA surgeon?
