Dr. Gross specializes in anterior hip, robotic total, and partial knee replacement, as well as revision hip and knee replacement.

One of the most common questions I get is: "What makes anterior hip replacement different?" The approach matters. By going in through the front of the hip, I work between the muscles rather than cutting through them. Less disruption to the surrounding tissue means less pain after surgery and a faster recovery. For me, it's not just about replacing the hip, it's about restoring how it works.

A common misconception I hear from patients is that knee replacement means months of being laid up and unable to do anything. The reality is very different.

Most of my patients go home the same day as surgery, and with robotic-assisted Mako technology, I'm able to place your implant with a level of precision that just wasn't possible before. Physical therapy starts quickly, and most patients are moving more comfortably than they have in years within weeks, not months.

Hip and knee replacement has changed significantly over the years and so has recovery.

In my practice, I’m seeing patients go home the same day and get back to work in as little as six weeks. A big part of that comes down to the techniques, technology, and experience behind your surgery.

As a fellowship-trained joint replacement surgeon, I’ve spent additional time focused specifically on hip and knee replacements, refining surgical techniques, optimizing recovery protocols, and selecting the best implants and technology for each patient.

Because my practice is dedicated to joint replacement, I’m able to focus on every detail that impacts your outcome from surgery to recovery.

If your hip or knee pain seems to flare up every time the weather changes, you're not imagining it.

One of the most common things I hear from patients with arthritis is that they can "feel rain coming" before it arrives. There's actually a physiological explanation for this. When barometric pressure drops, which happens before cold or rainy weather moves in, the tissues around your hip and knee joints can expand slightly. In a healthy joint, that's not much of an issue. But in a joint where cartilage has already worn down, that small amount of swelling can put extra pressure on already sensitive tissue, leading to increased pain and stiffness.

Cold temperatures also cause muscles and tendons around the joint to tighten up, which reduces flexibility and can make movement feel more difficult and uncomfortable than usual.

This doesn't mean arthritis is getting worse when the weather changes, but it does mean your symptoms are more noticeable. If you find that weather-related flares are becoming more frequent or more intense, it's usually a sign that the underlying arthritis has progressed to a point worth evaluating.

One of my favorite parts of this work is introducing patients to options they didn't know existed. Not every knee is the same, and not every knee replacement should be either. Finding the right approach for each individual patient is always the goal.

So grateful for patients who trust me and my team with their care, and even more grateful when they leave feeling better than they expected.

If you're dealing with knee pain, let's talk about what the right option looks like for you.

When patients ask me why they should consider a Jiffy Knee replacement, the answer usually starts with the research they’ve already done.

The Jiffy Knee technique is muscle-sparing, which means we move the muscle out of the way rather than cutting through it. That smaller amount of surgical trauma can lead to less pain early in recovery and a faster return to movement.

If knee replacement may be in your future, I’m always happy to talk through your options and whether the Jiffy Knee technique could be the right approach for you.

When patients come in with hip or knee pain, an X-ray is one of the first tools I use to understand what's really going on.

X-rays show the amount of cartilage remaining in the joint, the alignment of the bones, and whether bone spurs or other changes have developed over time. All of this paints a clearer picture of how advanced the arthritis is and how it's affecting the way your joint moves and functions.

Understanding what your X-ray shows isn't just about confirming there's a problem, it's about understanding the full picture so we can find the right solution for your specific situation, whether that's surgical or not.

Let's get you scanned and see what's going on.

A lot of people assume hip or knee pain is just a normal part of getting older and push through it. But there are specific signs that what you're experiencing may be osteoarthritis. Morning stiffness that loosens up after you move around, pain in your groin or thigh that travels toward your knee, a grinding or clicking sensation when you bend, and pain that flares with activity are all common symptoms. You might also notice your range of motion getting smaller over time, things like putting on shoes or walking longer distances become harder.

Osteoarthritis happens when the cartilage that cushions your hip and knee gradually wears away, eventually leading to bone rubbing on bone. It's a slow process, which is why many people don't realize how far it has progressed until pain is affecting their daily life.

Knowing the early signs can make a real difference in how and when it gets treated.

There's a common misconception that you need to be in severe pain before seeing an orthopedic surgeon, that somehow you haven't "earned" a consultation yet. I hear this from patients all the time.

The truth is, the earlier I can evaluate what's going on with your hip or knee, the more options we have. Waiting until the pain becomes unbearable doesn't make treatment easier, it often makes it harder.

If hip or knee pain is changing the way you move, sleep, or go about your day, that's enough of a reason to come in. You don't have to hit a breaking point first.

If you come in to see me for knee pain, one thing you might notice is that I often order a hip X-ray and that sometimes surprises patients.

The reason is simple: in some cases, pain you feel in your knee can actually be coming from arthritis in your hip. Over the years, I’ve even had patients come in thinking they needed knee treatment, when the real issue was their hip.

Getting the right diagnosis is the first step to choosing the right treatment. If you’re dealing with hip or knee pain, come see me and we’ll work together to figure out exactly what’s going on.

Living with hip or knee pain that never seems to go away is exhausting, especially when you've already tried everything and still aren't finding relief.

I see patients like this every day. People who have done everything right and still wake up in pain. If that sounds familiar, know that options still exist.

Hip and knee replacement is designed for exactly this situation, to address what's not working and get you back to feeling like yourself again. Come in for a consultation to get started.

Spring is here, and for many people, that first walk around the neighborhood or round of golf is a reminder that their hip has been slowing them down.

Knee and hip pain from osteoarthritis doesn't just happen overnight, it builds gradually. Stiffness in the morning, aching after activity, or difficulty putting on your shoes are all signs worth paying attention to.

If pain is keeping you from doing the things you love, it may be time to explore your options.
