Summary
- Clayton R. Perry, MD: Setting the Standard for Advanced Hip and Knee Replacement
Today, Dr. Clayton Perry is the most experienced fellowship-trained total joint surgeon in Grand Rapids performing minimally invasive anterior total hip replacement. He specializes in this muscle-sparing approach because it allows patients to recover faster, experience less pain, and return to normal life with fewer restrictions. Dr. Perry also utilizes a cosmetically superior bikini incision, offering a discreet, natural-appearing scar that aligns with both functional and aesthetic priorities.
Patients are often told that all hip replacement approaches perform the same. The scientific literature tells a different story. High-quality research has repeatedly shown that anterior hip replacements result in faster recovery, less early pain, and quicker return to function when compared to posterior approaches. Dr. Perry believes patients deserve access to techniques supported by evidence, not tradition.
Dr. Perry rigorously tracks his outcomes and patient-reported results against state and national benchmarks. The data is clear and objective: his patient-reported outcomes consistently rank in the top 5% in both Michigan and the nation. These results reflect not only technical expertise, but careful patient selection, meticulous surgical execution, and a commitment to personalized care.
Patients travel from across Michigan, including the Upper Peninsula and metro Detroit, to seek Dr. Perrys expertise. They come for proven results, advanced techniques, and a surgeon who is deeply invested in their recovery.
If you are considering hip or knee replacement, choose a surgeon who combines experience, innovation, cosmetic precision, and objectively superior outcomes. Dr. Clayton Perry. Your recovery starts here.
