Why patients choose Dr. Stride
Six reasons to book with a hip specialist.
Seen by Dr. Stride himself
He does your exam, explains your images and sees you at every follow-up. You are never handed off to someone you have not met.
Fast access
New patients are usually seen within the week. Saturday mornings for new hip pain and second opinions.
Answers at the first visit
X-rays the same day and a review of any MRI you bring, so most patients leave with a diagnosis and a plan.
Save the hip first
Therapy, activity changes and guided injections come first. Surgery is recommended only when it is the right answer, and he explains exactly why.
Preserve or replace
Arthroscopy, osteotomy and hip replacement under one surgeon, so the choice is made for your hip, not for a specialty.

“Home the same day after my hip replacement and walking the block with a cane by the end of the week.”
