Dr. Kenney was super knowledgeable, and good at gauging my knowledge level. He used visuals (hands and x-ray images) to explain how a normal femur should fit into the acetabulum. Then he explained how my hip x-ray was positive for hip dysplasia. I felt he was honest with me about my options which included two different surgeries, their recovery times, and non surgical options, namely physical therapy. He answered my questions about which exercises to avoid and defined realistic expectations for my circumstances and pain tolerance.
