I can send you the name of the group I used in Brookline.The Docs were fantastic and the Baptist is the place to go for any joint work. It is a life changing procedure. Really if your insurance will cover these guys you should do it. I had 2 other procedures on my hip ( due to a motorcycle accident when I was 21)and I'm glad I waited for the current technology. I had the procedure on Jan 19th and in 2 weeks I was back at work ( granted a desk job ) but by March I was back hiking with the Boy Scouts. Don't settle for the ceramic golf ball !!! Do it right or don't do it at all!!! PM me if you want.

I second the vote for Baptist and the for the BFH. I've seen similar experience to Whiplash, actually was able to do things with the patient that we hadn't done in over 20 years, within 2 months.
You do set of airpost alarms tho.
