I feel like I'm in good hands with Dr. McLawhorn. He took his time to ask me the right questions, and gave me great answers and hope that my hip pain will be a thing of the past after the operation.

When we first watched Dr. McLawhorn’s intro video, his words conveyed intentionality, compassion, and skillful confidence. Important to me was a surgeon who both listened and heard my end goal of returning to pre-hip replacement activities. From the initial in-person appointment, we knew Dr. McLawhorn was the right surgeon! The words of the video were exactly reflected in-person by Dr. McLawhorn. Fast forward 6 weeks post surgery, my recovery and faith in Dr. McLawhorn’s skills exceeded any expectation. His precision, technique, and level of understanding for the patient process were apparent and felt. Am very grateful for the care received and how Dr McLawhorn, and his staff, “shepherded” me through the process.

Finding the right surgeon is one of the most important decisions a person can make, and from the very first appointment, Dr. Alexander McLawhorn made me feel comfortable, respected, and genuinely cared for. It is difficult to find a physician who not only has exceptional medical knowledge but also treats patients with such compassion. Dr. McLawhorn took the time to listen to my concerns, answered all of my questions, and never made me feel rushed. What impressed me most was that he did not pressure me into surgery. Instead, he carefully explained all of my treatment options and allowed me to make an informed decision based on what was best for my health. For the first time, I am no longer afraid of having surgery because I know I am in excellent hands. His outstanding medical expertise, impressive educational background, and genuine dedication to his patients inspire complete confidence. Equally important, he treats every patient with kindness, empathy, and respect. I truly believe that when choosing a doctor, credentials matter, but so does your intuition. From the moment I met Dr. McLawhorn, I knew he was the right surgeon for me. I pray that there will be more physicians like Dr. Alexander McLawhorn—doctors who combine extraordinary skill with heartfelt compassion. As I await my total hip replacement, I feel hopeful and confident knowing he will be performing my surgery. Thank you, Dr. McLawhorn, not only for your expertise but also for accepting me as your patient. I am deeply grateful for your care and look forward to beginning my journey toward a pain-free life under your guidance🙏🙏❤️ With gratitudes, Lidia Updates after first appointment since surgery: Dearest Dr. Alexander McLawhorn, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the extraordinary care, compassion, and dedication you have shown me throughout my entire journey. You are not only an exceptionally skilled and professional doctor, but also a kind, caring, compassionate, and truly wonderful person. To me, the greatest reward a doctor can receive is knowing that they have given their patient the gift of better health and a renewed quality of life—and I hope you know how deeply grateful I am for that gift. I am incredibly thankful that my intuition, careful research, and determination led me to you. From our very first meeting, through my surgery, and now through my first follow-up appointments, I have felt your genuine care and undivided attention every step of the way. Your kindness and dedication have touched me deeply. There were moments when I found myself thinking, If every doctor cared for their patients the way you do, the world would truly be a more beautiful place. I am continuing my journey toward complete recovery, but it has not even been six weeks, and I am already able to walk long distances. Every day I feel stronger and more hopeful, and I am so grateful to continue this journey under your care. There simply are not enough words to express how thankful I am to you and to your entire staff for everything you have done for me. You have made an incredibly important chapter of my life something I can look back on with gratitude, trust, and hope. Thank you, Dr. McLawhorn, for giving me not only exceptional medical care, but also confidence and peace of mind when I needed it most. You are truly an amazing doctor and an extraordinary person. I will always be deeply grateful that our paths crossed. May God bless you, your family, and the remarkable work you do each day. With the deepest gratitude and beyond great respect, Lidia🙏❤️

Excellent experience with Dr. McLawhorn and his team at HSS. I lived with hip pain for a few years, and now I have no pain at all. It’s honestly a huge difference in my everyday life. From the beginning, I felt listened to, informed, and confident in the care I was receiving. Dr. McLawhorn took the time to answer my questions and explain everything clearly, and my experience throughout the entire process has been extremely positive. I’m very grateful for the care I received and would absolutely recommend Dr. McLawhorn to anyone considering hip treatment or replacement.

Had consult with Dr. Mclawhorn after meeting with another very qualified surgeon. As an athlete, I was very impressed that he understood how important it is for me to return to my active lifestyle. He answered all my questions, and I felt very confident in his ability to get me going again. Surgery is now scheduled and I have no doubt I have made the correct choice in surgeon.
