Patient Reviews
At my first visit, Dr. Shore had already ordered X-rays for review. He examined me, ordered an MRI, and referred me to a specific imaging center. Unlike other specialists who schedule follow-ups six weeks out, he saw me just two weeks later to discuss the results, which reassured me that he was committed to finding a solution quickly.
After reviewing my MRI, Dr. Shore presented my options: conservative treatment with injections, arthroscopy with mixed success, or total hip replacement. He was upfront about the potential outcomes of hip arthroscopy, explaining that even a successful procedure would likely only delay the need for a replacement by 5–7 years and carried a significant risk of failure. I appreciated his honesty, especially regarding the benefits and risks of hip replacement at my age. Ultimately, I opted for the more reliable solution: total hip replacement.
Surgery was scheduled six weeks later, and the entire experience was exceptional. The surgery center was the nicest I’ve ever visited. Dr. Shore used the Mako robotic-arm-assisted technique with an anterior bikini incision approach. If I lose my mind and decide to wear a speedo, the scar would be completely covered.
His office staff was incredibly supportive throughout the process, staying communicative via email, text, and phone. They also coordinated home healthcare and physical therapy for three weeks post-op. Mellany and Jazmine, in particular, made both the pre- and post-surgery experience seamless, avoiding the usual miscommunications that often come with medical offices.
Now, six weeks post-op, I’m recovering well. I value because he is not only a skilled surgeon; he is also caring, honest, genuine, professional, and always has time to answer questions. I know I’ll need other orthopedic surgeries in the future—on my other hip, my knees, etc.—and when that time comes, I’ll be returning to Dr. Shore.

My appointments are always a pleasure!
