Dr. Shore is terrific! He and his team are professional, responsive and friendly. Being in LA, we have a lot of options, but I'm glad I went with him for my hip replacement surgery. I've hit my 3 month mark and feeling good--still a little stiff at times but gets better every day! Looking forward to testing it out next month hiking Machu Picchu! I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you Dr. shore & team!

I cannot express how much I appreciated Dr. Shore from first meeting thru the hip replacement surgery process. That man is truly incredible and what makes him so extraordinary is that combination of doctoring skills and his "bedside manner". At 76 years old and, by my own admission, a true "nervous nelley" he and his staff were an incredible experience from their dealing with my fear of needles throughout the cortisone injections in the year before, to the process of the surgery itself. His anesthesiologist, Dr. Chun I believe, was terrific!!! Lastly and probably the most incredible part of my experience was the incredible care and responses I received from his assistant Mellany .... she was ALWAYS there for me with timely responses to my many questions and concerns and became a true friend thru the whole experience. I don't know how she took care of her other patients as well. Dr. Shore is truly blessed to have her in his employ. Thank you again Dr. Shore for the true blessing you became in my life.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

We keep your visits focused, informative, and easy to follow.

We Listen First

Your appointment starts with a discussion of your symptoms, daily activities, and goals.

We Review Your Images Together

Dr. Shore explains your X-rays or MRI and how they relate to your condition.

We Offer Treatment Options

Plans may include physical therapy, injection therapy, or procedures like arthroscopy or hip replacement.

We Guide Your Recovery

You’ll receive post-visit support and a plan that includes rehab, milestones, and follow-up visits.

Don’t Let Hip Pain Limit What You Can Do

Hip pain can start as stiffness or discomfort and progress to pain with walking, standing, or rest. Left untreated, it may interfere with work, sports, or sleep.

We help patients return to daily life with treatment that fits their condition and their routine.

Hip Conditions We Treat

Dr. Shore treats a full range of hip issues at his outpatient orthopaedic clinics in Los Angeles County and LA County.

Reduced blood supply causes bone tissue death. Over time, this may lead to hip collapse or arthritis.

A mismatch in hip joint shape that leads to cartilage damage, pain, and stiffness with rotation or motion.

Tears in the labrum may cause clicking, catching, or a deep ache in the hip or groin.

When the socket is too shallow, it leaves the joint unstable and prone to early wear.

Cartilage loss inside the joint can cause pain, stiffness, and loss of motion.

Tears in the outer hip tendons cause weakness and pain while walking or using stairs.

Tears near the tendon origin limit flexibility and cause pain during bending or sitting.

Tight muscles in the buttocks compress the sciatic nerve. This may lead to leg pain or tingling.

Treatment Options

Anterior Hip Replacement

A minimally invasive approach from the front of the hip. This preserves muscles and allows earlier walking.

Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO)

Socket repositioning for young dysplasia patients to improve stability and prevent arthritis.

Arthroscopic Hip Surgery

A small incision procedure that removes bone spurs and repairs labral tears or instability.

Partial Hip Replacement

Only the damaged section of the joint is replaced. The healthy parts remain intact.

Joint Preservation Surgery

Procedures like arthroscopy or PAO are used to reduce pain and extend the life of the joint.

Tendon Repair

Repair torn hamstrings or gluteal tendons. It can restore strength and reduce long term pain.

Injection Therapy

Guided injections such as PRP or corticosteroids help reduce pain or inflammation.

Sports Injury Management

We care for active individuals who have experienced hip related injuries from training, running, or competition.

Post-Operative Rehabilitation

Receive a recovery plan with physical therapy and milestones tailored to your procedure.
