I was afraid I was going to need a hip replacement, pain was getting harder to deal with. He did a complete workup and exam, and diagnosed no arthritis, but a joint femoroacetabular Impingement, Cam type. His recommendations went: continue stretching, if that fails to limit the pain physical therapy, if the pain continues arthroscopic shaving of the cam. Just the approach I appreciate: conservative treatment, or PT, last on the list arthopedic surgery.

This is my second hip replacement...Dr. Verhoog did my first and I would not consider anyone else! He really cares and connects on a personal level. I am very happy that I am able to have him as my surgeon!

He explained more about arthritis in the knee. Gave me suggestions for exercise, how a walking stick would help. Lots of information and care.
