Success Stories

Hip Preservation surgery empowers young athlete to enjoy activities that were never possible before.

Ashley, a competitive volleyball player and junior high-schooler at the time, suffered a hip injury on the court. Ashley was able to successfully recover from the injury due to early detection of hip displaysia, which allowed Dr. Williams to successfully treat the injury with a procedure called Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO). Ashley states that she feels like a brand-new person and can participate in activities that she never could before.

Hip Preservation surgery helps mother return to active lifestyle with her family.

Dot, a mother of 3, experienced hip problems at a young age, which was temporarily relieved. Over time she found herself having terrible hip pain from simple movement and alternative treatments weren’t successful. Dr. Williams recommended the hip preservation surgery: Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO),which positions the hip socket in a normal location and preserves the hip joint for as long as possible. Now, this mother is able to keep up with her children and live pain-free.

Hip replacement (2024)

"I received a hip replacement performed by Dr. Wiliams in mid-March and I am so happy that I chose to do it and that I chose Dr. Williams. From the moment I had my consultation with Dr. Williams he was nothing but kind, knowledgable, patient, and attentive to all of my questions and concerns. He performed my hip replacement surgery and I could not believe the results. I am an avid cyclist and I was back riding my bike within 7 weeks of surgery with no problems. I am so very grateful to Dr. Williams and his staff for all of their knowledge, expertise, and compassion.
