Hi

I think you might have missed my answer the other day.

Dr. Klug is an excellent hip resurfacing surgeons and has a lot of very happy patients.

Raphael Klug, MD
400 Hip Resurfacings to date
The Permanente Medical Group
1600 Eureka Road
Roseville, CA 95661
(916) 784-5051
Website for Dr. Klug

There are not many in Kaiser that do hip resurfacing that I know of. Dr. Klug does and he is an excellent surgeon.  Most people have to travel to have a hip resurfacing if they want to use the experienced surgeons. 

I hope that helps.

Pat
