Stymiebop Caretakers Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Hey folks, I'm seeking guidance for getting some healthcare. I had a hip arthroscopy last year and I'm worried that the pain I'm experiencing means the surgery has failed. I'm looking for a doctor who can give me some informed advice about next steps. Ideally, this is someone who has up to date knowledge of Platelet Rich Plasma and Stem Cell therapies. Someone who could order an MRI, and make the call about whether or not I'm having a bad flare up, or in need of a total hip replacement. Are MRIs very expensive out of pocket here? Am I better off searching for a doc ooo n Guadalajara? What is the strongest hospital there for orthopedics? Any ideas welcome! Painfully yours, Aimée Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jreboll Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 I may be behind the times but I had never heard of a hip arthroscopy. There’s no way to stick a scope in there to look around. Where was this done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stymiebop Caretakers Posted June 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 It's a pretty popular surgery for labral tears. My surgery was in Seattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for reaching out Go to the Laguna Mall and see the Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr. Martinez, who works out of Quality Care there. Another one is Dr.Gonzalez at Markaras Clinic in Riberas. Both are competent and can direct you to a MRI center and check your condition. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natasha Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Dr. Jose Miguel Huerta (ortho/trauma)did my hip replacement 8 weeks ago. I cannot say enough good things about this doctor. Also, even though he has an office in hospital Del Carmen (expensive) he is perfectly happy to use Hospital Santisima Trinidad for surgical procedures. Did mine there and saved me a BUNDLE and it was EXCELLENT in every way. Plus that hospital allows you to deal direct with prosthesis supplier (if one is needed) rather than buying it for you and marking up the price. Don't know if they do MRI's there -- if in fact that's what you need -- but there are places he can send you. Speaks good enough English if you need it. Appts.
