I had my left hip replaced 5 years ago and the Dr. got me back to playing hockey and skiing. My right was going and he did such a good job on the left I had him do the right hip. Its 2 and a half weeks after surgery and I could not be happier with the results. The robotic surgery has speeded up my recover time. I have recommended him to friends and all have had the same great results. If your in pain DONT WAIT!

I started with severe pain in one hip a little over a year ago. Did extensive research and came across Dr. Mclawhorn. He was very informative, thorough, and knowledgeable. Fast forward one year later, Ive had two anterior hip replacements done with him. My first healed wonderfully and I am currently recuperating my second. The healing process has been great, with no more sever pain. Looking forward to a full recuperation. Also want to thank his wonderful staff that was warm, friendly, and helpful throughout this journey.

Dr. McLawhorn and his staff could not have been more thoughtful, caring or professional from my first consultation through my six-week post-op checkup. A pleasure to deal with in every way. I had my hip replacement surgery done at Stamford Hospital on the HSS floor and that was an equally great experience. I have total confidence in Drl McLawhorn and highly recommend him. I also have several friends who have used him for joint replacement and they all feel the same way.

Dr. Alexander S.McLawhorn is very knowledgeable and very details oriented. I had hip replacement surgery in June, 2024. His surgery coordinator is absolutely wonderful. I have a lot of medical issues and everything was resolved. I highly recommend HSS physical therapy afterwards. Their program is diffent and they follow Dr.McLawhorn instructions. I am able to walk pain free now. Thanks to Dr.McLawhorn.

Total hip replacement (THR) was done by Dr. McLawhorn. His work is amazing, there was no pain and an easy recovery. He listened to my concerns, answered my questions and the appointments were not rushed.

I have had both of my hips replaced. Both surgeries were at HSS and both went well. When I learned that I needed to have a second hip replacement I decided to go to Dr Mclawhorn rather than my original surgeon for many reasons but mainly his excellent reviews and his reputation for excellence with people in my community who have gone to him. I did not think the outcome of my first surgery could be exceeded but somehow Dr Mclawhorn managed to exceed my first outcome (which was great) and my expectations. Surgery is scary - if you decide to go with Dr Mclawhorn you can relax, take a leap of faith and put the outcome in his very capable hands - you will be fine - in fact you'll be great!

Dr. McLawhorn has a very nice bedside manner - he takes time to answer questions and is thorough in his responses. But that is not the reason to use him - use him because he is at the absolute top of the game in terms of total hip replacements (THR). I have had both hips replaced - both were done at HSS and both went well. I did not think it could get better than my first surgery BUT it did - Dr. Mclawhorn exceeded the great out come of that surgery. He uses robotics to assist so his work is very precise and accurate and the hardware in my hip is cutting edge. I had almost no pain and so far a very easy recovery. He operates out of Stamford - very convenient for me - and NYC. His care team is also excellent - responsive and friendly. It's very scary facing a surgery - relax and rest assured that you will be in excellent hands with Dr. Mclawhorn.

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.

A year after my knee replacement by Dr. Alexander McLawhorn, MD, I remain thoroughly impressed by the outstanding care and professionalism shown by him and his team. Having previously worked in hip and knee replacement manufacturing at Johnson & Johnson, I can appreciate the advancements in technology that Dr. McLawhorn utilizes. His expertise and the modern techniques used were evident in the success of my surgery and recovery process.The staff was always friendly, well-informed, and genuinely caring, making a potentially stressful experience very comfortable. It’s clear that patient care is a top priority for Dr. McLawhorn and his team.I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. McLawhorn for anyone needing a knee replacement. He deserves a full 5-star rating for his exceptional service and results.

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!
