Alexander S. McLawhorn, MD, MBA

"Dr. McLawhorn is an exceptional surgeon. I first entrusted Dr. McLawhorn with my left hip replacement two years ago, and the results were excellent. The success of that procedure made my decision easy when I needed a right hip replacement revision, which prompted my recent travel from Boston to HSS for the one-year check-up. Both surgeries were a resounding success, restoring my full mobility. Both my left and right hips are now strong, durable, and expected to last the rest of my life. I am deeply grateful for Dr. McLawhorn's skills, knowledge, and ability. Not only did he perform the revisions flawlessly, but he also successfully figured out the root cause of my previous, recurring dislocations in the right hip--a truly challenging issue. He provides outstanding care with consistently excellent results, and I highly recommend him for his first-class expertise."

"As a long-time patient of HSS who has undergone numerous surgeries over the years, I can say without hesitation that Dr. McLawhorn stands out. I have never met a physician who is so genuinely caring about his patients. In an industry where things can often feel clinical or rushed, Dr. McLawhorn is a breath of fresh air. His patient-first approach ensures you never feel like "just another number" or rushed during an appointment. He takes the time to clearly explain both your condition and the necessary corrective actions in a way that is easy to understand. He is highly intelligent and the epitome of a true professional. If you are suffering from a debilitating hip or knee condition, I highly recommend seeking him out. You will be in excellent hands."

"I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. McLawhorn. At just 39 years old, with two little boys depending on me, I was struggling every day with pain that made it hard to simply live my life. Dr. McLawhorn performed my full right hip replacement, and the results have truly been life-changing. From the first appointment, Dr. McLawhorn treated me with compassion, listened to my concerns, and gave me hope when I felt like I was running out of options. The surgery itself went smoothly, and the care I received from everyone at HSS before and after was exceptional. Thanks to Dr. McLawhorn I can walk, play, and even starting to keep up with my kids again--things I feared I might never be able to do. I will forever be grateful to Dr. McLawhorn for giving me my life back. If you are considering surgery, know that you are in the very best hands with him and his team. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart."
