The best thing for you to do is check 's resurfacing site at: http://www.activejoints.com/resurfacing.html There are lists of US doctors participating in both the Conserve Plus and Cormet 2000 trials on that site. There are resurfacing docs in California, Washington state, Oregon, Michigan, Illinois, land, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, and yes, even in Texas. There are also numerous highly-experienced surgeons in Europe (particularly in the United Kingdom, where modern resurfacing was invented) who will perform the procedure on US patients.

I think there is a resurfacing doc in Texas. A Dr. Crawford in Texas, or is it a doc in Crawford Texas? There is also one in Illinois.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Hi, I had my resurfacing done in Columbia, South Carolina by Dr. Gross. He has done well over 250 operations (probably 300 or more). http://www.GrossOrtho.com I recommend him highly. Fred Dr. Gross, C2K 1/21/04 > Thanks for the replies...
