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.

Hip Fractures

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!

Dr. Pamela was amazing. She was so thorough and knowledgeable, and when my son got injured, she acted quickly instead of taking a wait-and-see approach. Her team got us in for an X-ray the very same day, which I really appreciated. What stood out most was that she took the time to really understand what happened and what was causing the problem. I never felt rushed during our appointment. She listened, answered all of our questions, and made us feel like we were her only patients. That level of attention and care is hard to find these days. Everyone in the office was professional, kind, and efficient. As soon as the imaging results were ready, Dr. Pamela personally called to go over everything, explain the plan, and discuss the next steps. I would recommend her to anyone looking for orthopedic care. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, genuinely kind, and you can tell she truly cares about her patients and their families. She truly cares from the heart, and it shows.

So thankful to have been recommended to Dr. Mehta a few years ago! My first experience with her was the meniscus surgery, which she performed perfectly, and I was back to my former fitness level in a short time! What she has helped me with even more are my low back problems, including three bulging discs and stenosis. I’ve had three stem cell injections over the years. (In the middle of these, I tried a different procedure with a different provider, and it was awful!) Had my most recent injection yesterday and the relief was immediate! My son has also been to her for a sports shoulder injury and my husband with his knee. We really appreciate Dr. Mehta, her expertise, and the helpful people she has chosen for her office!

I’ve done yoga, but I had not run… Titled: I ran today. I ran today. Not far, But I ran. Not fast, But I ran. Walk/run intervals, but I ran. Andddddd Pain free 5 minute ice plunge after No Advil needed Cautiously optimistic with spring in my step. So appreciative of your care and advice(even the parts I didn’t want to listen to) Andrew

Dr. Pamela Mehta was incredible. Her professional advice, support, and injections made a huge difference in my recovery. She took the time to understand exactly what I was dealing with and guided me every step of the way. Because of her care, I am now back to my normal routine, including gym workouts, running, and biking, completely pain free. I am truly grateful for everything she did to help me get back to my normal life. Highly recommend!!!

Dr Mehta is knowledgable, skilled, and dedicated. She is confident in her treatment and i appreciate that she doesn’t resort straight to surgery when there’s a chance your body can heal on its own. She is great!!

As an patient with a sharp disability on the same leg as my ACL tear, Dr Mehta not only performed a flawless specialized surgery but also provided my family and I with clarity and confidence in my recovery process. She took the time to explain everything in a way that made sense, answer my questions thoroughly and ensure I'm properly set up with PT that helps Because of her I've been able to make a full recovery in a tough situation, I'm extremely thankful to her and the secs for writing all the notes/prescriptions I needed swiftly .. !!

Dr Mehta was fantastic. She assessed my knee pain, listened to my concerns and scheduled my surgery promptly. The surgery went well and I am postop six weeks and just returned from a four day trip to San Antonio where I did a lot of walking. I feel like my knee is progressing well. She was thorough and has a great bedside manner. I would 10 out of 10 recommend her.

My shoulder injury was mis-diagnosed by another practitioner and I struggled with pain, mobility issues and PT for 6 months. After one visit with Dr. Mehta, 4 weeks later I am pain free and back in action!

Saw Dr. Mehta for debilitating hip pain. She prescribed PRP and physical therapy, and I am happy to report that I have very little pain now. She was very thorough and patiently answered all my questions. I would recommend her very highly to anyone needing an Orthopedic specialist.
