Why the hip
One joint, mastered.
Dr. Stride chose to focus his surgical practice entirely on the hip. Seeing hips every day builds the judgment to know which labral tears need surgery, which hips can be saved with an osteotomy, and when a replacement is truly the right answer.
Hip care also means checking the back. Pain from the lower spine often lands in the buttock or groin, so Dr. Stride examines the back at every visit before deciding the hip is to blame. Is it your hip or your back? →
His patients range from college athletes with a torn labrum to grandparents who want to walk the neighborhood again. Every one of them gets the same care: a careful exam, a clear explanation, the simplest treatment that can work and support until they are back to activity.
“The best follow-up visit is the one where a patient forgets to mention the hip at all, because it stopped being part of the conversation.”

Questions about Dr. Stride
Does Dr. Stride perform the surgery himself?
Yes. Dr. Stride examines every patient himself, performs his own surgeries and sees you at every follow-up visit. Your care is never handed off to someone you have not met.
Will Dr. Stride try treatment without surgery first?
Almost always. Many hip problems improve with physical therapy, activity changes, medication or a guided injection, and he recommends surgery only when the hip is not improving or the damage calls for it.
Does Dr. Stride do hip arthroscopy and hip replacement?
Yes. Dr. Stride is fellowship trained in both hip preservation and hip replacement, so the choice between saving the joint and replacing it is made by one surgeon who does both.
Does Dr. Stride treat back pain?
Dr. Stride's practice is dedicated to the hip. He examines the lower back at every visit because back problems often feel like hip pain, and refers you to a trusted spine specialist when the spine is the real source.
How soon can I see Dr. Stride?
