Why Patients Make the Trip

Why Patients Travel to See Dr. Harlan

Dr. Harlan is one of only a handful of orthopedic surgeons in the entire country with his level of experience in hip arthroscopy. With over 3,500 procedures performed, he has seen cases that other surgeons haven't, and he has the outcomes to prove it.

Patients travel from across the United States, and as far as Alaska, to seek his care. Whether you're a competitive athlete, a working professional, or someone who just wants to get back to daily life without pain, this practice was built for you.

The logistics of traveling for surgery can feel overwhelming. Our team is experienced at making it easy, from coordinating records to helping with local accommodations.

From Patients Who Made the Trip

They Came From Out of Town. Here's What They Said.

★★★★★

I am a repeat customer from Alaska. I had my hip (torn labrum) and a year later, my shoulder (rotator cuff) repaired after a Doc in AK misdiagnosed it. The entire experience was first class. The phone was almost always answered: no menu options. Dr. Harlan is an excellent communicator who takes his time with you and is a straight shooter. Go see Dr. Harlan and get your repair done right, especially if you are coming from out of town.

We made the trip from Tulsa, Oklahoma to have Dr. Harlan perform my hip surgery, and I truly could not have asked for a better experience. His team was incredible from start to finish. So thankful for their care. I'll only trust Dr. Harlan and his staff with my athletic injuries from here on out!
