About Dr. Pamela Mehta, MD

The Best Hand Surgeon in San Jose

Dr. Pamela Mehta is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon and founder of Resilience Orthopedics. With more than 15 years of experience, she helps people with arthritis, sports injuries, and complex hip conditions restore mobility and return to an active, pain-free life.

Unlike larger practices, Dr. Mehta personally manages every patient. She listens carefully, tailors a plan to your life, and starts with conservative treatments like physical therapy, targeted injections, and lifestyle changes to reduce pain and restore strength.

But if surgery is needed, she uses advanced, minimally invasive techniques to reduce scarring and speed up recovery, so you can get back on your feet with confidence.

Hip fractures need immediate care to avoid long-term complications.

Dr. Mehta provides expert care to stabilize the joint, reduce pain, and help you get moving again safely.

Why Do My Hips Hurt?

Your hip is one of the body’s largest and most complex joints, built to carry your weight, absorb impact, and allow smooth movement in every direction.
But when any part of this structure, including the bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, or bursae, becomes damaged or inflamed, it can lead to hip pain. Sometimes it’s just temporary soreness after activity. However, ongoing pain may be caused by:

  • Osteoarthritis
  • Fractures or sudden trauma
  • Muscle or tendon strains and tears
  • Hormonal changes during menopause
  • Conditions like bursitis or hip impingement

In some cases, problems in the back or pelvis can “refer” pain to the hip area. A hip specialist can help you pinpoint the source of your pain and guide you toward the right treatment.

When Should You See a Hip Doctor for Hip Pain?

You should consider seeing a hip specialist if you notice:

  • Persistent, sharp pain lasting more than two weeks
  • Severe stiffness limiting your range of motion
  • Pain that disrupts daily activities or sleep
  • Difficulty walking or bearing weight
  • Pain following an injury or fall
  • Swelling, warmth, or redness around the hip joint
  • Clicking or grinding sensations when moving your hip
  • Pain that worsens with activity or doesn’t improve with rest

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, Dr. Mehta can help determine the underlying cause and guide your treatment plan. Book your consultation today!
