My 82 yo sister in law just found out she will need a hip replacement. I'm looking for the right doctor. All suggestions welcomed, Thanks. PM's are OK also.

Dr. J. Dean Cole, Florida Hospital South, Orlando. PM if you want more info. He put Humpty Dumpty (my husband) back together again.

If you open this website, for Surgeon Scorecard...

https://projects.propublica.org/surgeons/

then select the state and hospital you want to use.... or search by surgeon, you will find how the various surgeons and hospitals score on the hip replacement procedure. There is quite a difference in their results. The database is focused on the procedures done 2009-2013 so not all surgeons will show up.
