I chose HSS and Dr McLawhorn because they were the highest rated institution and doctor for total hip replacement. They fulfilled all my expectations and more. Their preparation was rigorous. They stayed in contact with me throughout the weeks of preparation and recovery. The surgery went flawlessly. Recovery was rapid, with no unfavorable surprises. Choosing HSS and Dr McLawhorn was one of the best decisions I ever made.

Just had my THR (Robotic Assisted) 1 year post surgical follow up appointment and my hip is simply perfect! The surgical skill and technical knowledge Dr. Mc Lawhorn possesses is absolutely Tier 1. His work was positively life changing. I can't say enough good things about him and his team at HSS. If you're considering having the procedure done, THIS is who you want to do it! No question, zero doubt.

I had an anterior approach left total hip replacement with Dr. McLawhorn at HSS in February and am extremely happy with the entire experience and results. He is a truly outstanding joint replacement surgeon as well as a kind and compassionate physician. I was nervous about having hip surgery, (my first major surgery). However, after meeting Dr. McLawhorn, I knew I was in good hands. He was very thorough in his evaluation, explaining the procedure and answered all my questions. The surgery and recovery period went smoothly and the detailed pre-operative and post-operative instructions provided were very helpful. The office staff and Dr. McLawhorn’s nurse were very professional and responsive. My quality of life is significantly better after hip replacement surgery. The chronic pain in my left hip is gone, the range of motion is noticeably improved and I no longer walk with a limp. I am able to go for long walks, use a stationary bicycle, and this summer returned to swimming and started playing pickle ball 1-2 times/week. When it’s time for me to have hip replacement surgery on my other hip I will definitely choose Dr. McLawhorn at HSS again. I am so grateful to Dr.McLawhorn and his entire team at HSS for their excellent care and for giving me my life back. Matt S Virginia

Dr. McLawhorn spent the time with me to make me feel comfortable about my hip replacement procedures. His work was outstanding; I went skiing last winter before my second his replacement. His office is very easy to reach and is responsive. While not his specialty, he also gave me feedback on my stenosis condition, and has recommended both a physiatrist and a spinal surgeon.

Hip surgery (05/31/24) I chose Dr. Mclawhorn because of his background as a young and highly accomplished surgeon. Throughout my entire experience with Dr. Mclawhorn and at HSS, I had full confidence that my hip surgery would have an optimal outcome. Today, just six weeks after the surgery, I still marvel at how quickly and profoundly I feel like myself again, even as my recovery continues. Thank you again, Dr. Mclawhorn , and your dedicated staff. Gierszon

Dr. McLawhorn did a total hip replacement for me (right, anterior). Everything went well and I am healing nicely. He and all of his staff are always professional and helpful. I will be going back to him in a few months to get my left hip replaced. Definitely recommend!

When I first went to Dr. McLawhorn I had very limited range of motion with my legs. I was having difficulty sleeping at night due to the pain in both my hips. I was also limited in how far I could walk. After having both hips replaced I feel like a new person. I am walking more and going to a gym twice a week .The pain in my hips is gone. Dr Mc Lawhorn and his staff are wonderful and I am very grateful to them.

In March 2024 I had a total hip replacement. Dr McLawhorn was very thorough and gives you specific instructions so you know what to do and how much you can do. I can say that I was very nervous before the surgery but it turned out that was needless angst. Just 6 weeks out and I can walk 2 miles and am walking better than I have in years. I never really had any pain just numbness and achiness. The Stamford Hospital Staff was also terrific.
