How to find anterior approach surgeon

cats27 posted:

I am moving from CA to Michigan (detroit area) in 5 months so that I can have family support for a total hip replacement. I will need to find the best surgeon available who is experienced in the anterior approach. Not getting much online so far that rates MDs.

anyone from there who can direct me to the right surgeon?

thanks

Hi Cats,
