My hip would catch, it would give out on me, I was having a lot of pain in it, and my leg just wasn't stable, and I ended up having a hip arthroscopy. Dr. Lawler just always makes me feel quite at ease. He's really approachable and takes the time to really answer your questions. Recovery was pretty smooth, I'd have to say. I did not have a lot of pain. I had more pain with the hip giving out on me. I would highly recommend this California Orthopedics & Spine. As a matter of fact, my husband just had a rotator cuff repair with Dr. Solomon. Dr. Mark Lawler is an expert at hip arthroscopies, and I wouldn't go anywhere else for him, and also Holly Kelly. The whole staff is just excellent.--Annette
