- I am a patient of American Hip Institute. My hip only took 4 months to fully recover. The team at American Hip Institute is very patient, caring, respectful and devoted their patients. I am very grateful for all that American Hip Institute has done for my quality of life.- Guadalupe H.
- I fell and hurt my hip at work. I was experiencing 10/10 pain. We tried physical therapy for a while with no relief so I went to see the specialists at American Hip Institute. After consultation and additional tests, they identified that I would benefit greatly from having surgery to address my pain. I am now pain free and can return to work as if the injury never happened. - Mercedes H.
