I can't be anymore thankful for being put into the hands of Dr. Mai and Staff! I live in South Atlanta and and after a long 3 year battle of pain, which was not caused by an accident, 15 specialists later which included several pokes and prodding, Dr. Mai researched ALL of my tests and scans and could identify exactly the problem. I had surgery December 13th. Coming from out of state was a little worrisome, but they set up home health care at my home. I have had PT several times a week and the nurse has come to take my vitals and look at the incision. Dr. Mai and his staff are brilliant and I will be sure to recommend them to my Floridian and Georgia friends! No wonder patients come from far away for Dr. Mai!!! He is wonderful at what he does!

Dr. Mai saved my life! I was unable to walk anywhere without severe pain. I was so depressed watching life pass me by. After having my hip surgery with Dr. Mai, I can now enjoy life again! I can attend my grandchildren’s events pain free! I had been told by other doctors for over two years that because of my weight they couldn’t do anything about my issues. I was literally falling down and hurting myself. One fall resulted in my getting a broken nose and having to have surgery for that. Thanks to Dr. Mai I can now walk without falling. What he did for me means the world to me. I can never thank him enough for giving me back my quality of life. Bless you, Dr. Mai!

Dr. Mai did a left hip replacement alleviating pain from a 25 year old injury and pudendal nerve entrapment positioning the new hip in such a way I will never suffer again on my left side. It was excruciating pain that escalated in the year and a half prior. His expertise and knowledge is unmatched. Numerous tests were performed and it was suggested I go to Mayo for exploratory surgeries. Because of Dr. Mai's expansive knowledge and keen insight, I am pain free. In addition, his staff is unbelievably empathetic and understanding. Overcoming the fear of the surgery was a huge hurdle, but living without the enormous and inexplicable pain other specialists couldn't identify or remedy has made me a huge fan of this extraordinary surgeon. God bless you for doing what you do. ❤🕊

After 5 years of dealing with chronic hip pain I couldn’t take the pain and lack of mobility any longer. As a self- employed real estate appraiser, the thought of not working for several weeks after the surgery was the reason I had put off getting the procedure done. Much to my surprise, Dr. Mai advised he could to the surgery on an out-patient basis, which I replied, “let’s do this”! My surgery was scheduled for Monday at 7:00 am and I was home by noon (which includes a 45- minute drive home). The following day I was up and walking around with the aid of a walker. By day two I was walking unassisted and taking no pain medication. I went back to work on Friday! After my three-month check-up Dr. Mai gave me a clean bill of health to do whatever I wanted, so the following day I ran 2 miles. If you are having hip issues, I highly recommend Dr. Matt Mai as I have been very pleased with all aspects of my experience with both Dr. Mai and the Andrews Sports Medicine facility in Gulf Breeze.

After being recommended by several health care providers as being the best for hip issues, I saw Dr. Mai for my initial appointment. He confirmed that I needed a total hip replacement. Questions were answered by Dr. Mai and staff and I was scheduled for an anterior approach total hip replacement. I was up, walking and went home the same day of surgery. Home health (PT) followed up for 2 visits. Because I had successfully met my goals, I was discharged after 2 visits. Outpatient PT was not indicated because of how well I was progressing. One week post surgery, I was ambulating independently. I highly recommend Dr Mai and his staff if you are having hip problems.

Without hesitation, this retired trauma nurse, HIGHLY recommends Matt Mai, MD if you are having any issues with your hips. I had an anterior hip arthroplasty, April 27th and in less than a month I was on my way to pretty normal pre-surgery routine. I had a friend stay with me for safety for 3-4 days and was set up with home PT that began the day after my surgery and continued 3 times/week until my f/u appt 3 weeks later. I was able to take a shower day after my surgery, and it just continually got better from there. Minimal pain after first week if you do what you need to, PT, ICE, rest, pain meds as directed but you should be OK on ALEVE after 1st week or so if you do recommended activities, increasing each day. I was on my walker by day 3-4, and only used cane for balance for about a weeks..by 3rd week, I was able to walk my 60# goldendoodle about a mile each days and pretty quickly got back to our twice daily mile walks.

Dr. Mai was awesome. He repaired my left hip and completed a surgery that a previous surgeon could not do. Dr. Mai explains things in terms you can understand, is very thorough, and his team is very accessible during recovery. Dr. Mai was able to tell me exactly how recovery was going to go and he was spot on with every detail. If I had pain or pinching, he knew exactly why and how to fix it. Dr. Mai is the only surgeon I would trust to operate on my hip. Don’t make the same mistake I did and see him AFTER another surgeon fails on your hip surgery.

Post Double Total Hip Replacement. Its a miracle! Dr. Matthew Mai. I have no words. When I ponder for words, the first word that comes to my mind is its a miracle. I stand up or I get out of bed, and I’m waiting for the pain to come but it does not come. It’s gone away! I had my right THR on 01/19/22, and the left one done on 03/02/22. Today I feel like I have been given back my life. I wake up everyday thanking God for Dr. Mai. He is my hero. I was referred to Dr. Mai by Dr. Brett Smith who is also an amazing orthopedic. For about a year or more I got injections in my hips, which helped for a while. The THR was recommended by Dr. Mai but he never pushed me or coerced me to have surgery. He allowed me to make the decision to have my hips replaced when I was ready. Let me tell ya! It was the best decision that I’ve made in my life choosing and trusting Dr. Matthew Mai to literally replace both of my hips back to back. I am 58 years old but I feel 38 years old now that the arthritis pain is totally gone! I will choose Dr. Mai 1000 times. I thank God for Dr. Mai and his staff every day of my life for giving me back my pain free life. My recovery time for both surgeries have been totally remarkable. Again I say what Dr. Mai did for me by the grace of God was truly a miracle. I cannot express my gratitude enough.

Let me first say that I recommend Dr Mai for a hip replacement without hesitation. I had multiple health care professionals recommend Dr Mai to me – as the “THE Hip Guy” at the Andrews Institute. I found him to be personable, professional and very knowledgeable - addressing all questions that my wife and I had. I had a hip replacement 10 years ago, and he was very careful to explain to me the differences in that procedure and what he was going to do. The surgery and recovery went just as he explained, and I will tell you that it was MUCH easier than my first hip replacement. It was done out-patient, and I was home by noon (and I was not his first surgery that day). I used a walker for only a day, and a cane for 4 days (only in case I lost balance). Within a week, I was walking 2 miles. I will also say that his staff is excellent, being very responsive when I asked to reschedule my surgery, and with my questions related to COVID vaccinations.

Dr. Mai did an amazing job replacing my Hip, I had no idea that I had a bad Hip, I had pain in my lower back, down my leg, in my groin area that is all gone now. I went into Andrews Institute at 5:30 in the morning and I was back at my house in Destin, Florida by 1:30 the same day. I used a walker for six days, on the 7th day I put the walker aside and started walking on my own. Completely amazing at 62 years old to have this type of success. Dr. Mai only focuses on Hips, they are his specialty and I would not recommend anyone else to do the surgery, he goes under the Muscles without cutting any Muscles which severely decreases the down time. I have not surfed in 2 years ago as I could not spread my legs wide enough to sit on the board without excruciating pain last year. Last Friday I paddled out early morning a bit nervous as I did not know how it would go, I immediately sat up on the board with little to no pain and was able to get to my feet and ride the waves :)

Dr. Mai is an amazing hip surgeon & military veteran!! I was living with a rare case of heterotypic ossification for 5 years from a previous surgery. It was so painful I couldn’t sleep on my right side wasn’t able to complete the 1.5 mile run for my PT test that’s required for my military career. And the worst part was the hip would swell so much it looked bigger than my left hip which left me feeling very self conscious. Also, anything that involved standing or walking for longer than 10 mins was very painful. I was limited in mobility as well as quality of life. It was to the point my lower back was starting to hurt. I was initially referred to UAB and was told by the head hip surgeon that he was not comfortable completing the revision surgery so I tried other surgeons and they either flat out refused care or didn’t accept my insurance Tricare. I was at the point where I was beginning to accept that I was going to live like that for the rest of my life, but then I ran into a coworker who referred me to Dr. Mai. It’s been six months since my revision surgery and I can actually sleep on that side without pain & I’m back to running. I’m so thankful for Dr.Mai, I can now live a more active lifestyle and chase my nephew around without pain. Dr. Mai was very thorough and explained what was going on and how he planned to fix it. He’s hands down the best hip surgeon within the River Region especially for military members. PT can put a lot of wear and tear on us. If your military with Tricare for insurance I highly recommend a lot of surgeons within the Montgomery area will not accept Tricare for hip surgeries.It will save you so much time it took 5 years of denials from other surgeons to find Dr.Mai.

I had a right anterior total hip replacement 2 1/2 weeks ago. The whole experience was much easier than I anticipated! The surgery itself was painless-when I awoke I didn't believe the surgery was finished. I was concerned that the "break through" pain after the block wore off was going to be much worse- again I was pleasantly surprised. I had discomfort but it was incomparable to the pain I had been living in. I was off my walker in 5 days, walked up/down stairs (under the guidance of my physical therapist) at 7 days and resumed driving at 2 weeks. I am able to enjoy my life again-taking short walks, attending my daughter's volleyball games, socializing without that constant deep joint pain hanging over me. I know it will only continue to get better from here. Dr. Mai is very professional and never pushy about surgery. The results surpassed my expectations. Next time, I won't wait-I am thrilled to have my life back. Thank you to Dr. Mai and his team.

Dr. Mai was the 3rd hip doctor I was referred to because he is one of the few in the area who do hip arthroscopy surgeries. He was kind, informative, and worked quickly to get me taken care of. I had read that hip scope surgery could be a painful and difficult road post-surgery and I needed both hips fixed as sitting was becoming unbearable and I worried about being able to keep working. Needless to say we did my right hip, then left hip about 3 months later. The first went fantastic and the second went even better!

He caringly listened to my story and history of ortho issues, did exam and xrays and together we made a plan. Had L THR 3-2020 and R THR 3-2021. Great staff at his office too, responsive to my calls, especially Thaddeus (thank you Thaddeus). I am thrilled with my new hips. I used a cane for 5 years, I no longer need that cane. I can stand up from sitting without using my hands to push up. I am off all pain meds even tylenol! I can stand on my feet a half hour or more without discomfort. Dr. Mai is a skilled surgeon who gave this 68yr old quality of life back. Thank you Dr. Mai.

Dr Mai is the best! I would have been in a wheel chair shorty because of a deterorating hip ball. It was in/out surgery. Recovery was two weeks. I have my life back now (without a cane or walker).

Dr. Mai was the only Dr. that understood what was causing my pain from a hip replacement I had in 2012 in Virginia. Some surgeons wanted to redo the entire hip replacement or to sever the iliopsoas tendon. Dr. Mai preformed a minimally invasive iliopsoas release, cleared out the scar tissue and I am pain free. I am so grateful to have found him.

Dr. Mai replaced my right hip in June. So when I was having left hip pain, I made an appointment to see him again. The appointment time wasn't but a week wait and the appointment time was perfect as well. Dr. Mai was kind as always, taking his time to ask those thousands of questions doctor's ask. He examined me and immediately knew the problem. He explained everything about the condition clearly, gave me options for treatment, and made sure I was clear on the condition and treatment (even writing the name of it down so I could Google it if I forgot anything). I honestly feel like this is the best care of anyplace I've had to visit. As far as I am concerned, Dr. Mai will always be my hero for giving me my life back after a long 14 year struggle.

Dr. Mai was very pleasant. He took time to sit down and thoroughly go over my MRI results so that could have a clear understanding of my issue and treatment options.

Dr Mai did a great job. There was a very short wait time when I arrived at his office. He reviewed my case and knew exactly how to help me. He then took the time to explain what was wrong and developed a solid treatment plan that meets my needs. *Update- Dr Mai did a great job of explaining what the root problem of my pain was and the treatment options available to me. We agreed that surgery was the best option. He told me exactly what to expect and the best way to ensure recovery goes smoothly. Game day his staff took the time to brief my wife on the bast way to care for me. Dr. Mai took to the time to tell her about the procedure. I am now 7 weeks post surgery and I feel like I did 10 years ago. The the incisions are hardly noticeable and I am moving with much less pain.

Went to see Dr Mai in April 2020 with weakness and decreased mobility in my Left leg which was not helped by rehab. (I had a total left hip done in November 2016). My goal was to gain more strength and increase mobility in the leg. I could not do a leg left more then an inch off the ground. Dr Mai went in and lengthened the tendon and cleaned up around the joint The results were fantastic. I’m no longer tripping and falling, I can lift my leg all the way up, and I’ve been hiking mountains all summer out in New Mexico. Thank you Dr Mai

11years of hip pain is about to be over. Dr Mai is a fantastic physician and surgeon. Im beyond grateful Dr Mai has taken me on as he's patient. He is highly sought after and is a trail blazer in his field...being one of very few doctors to perform arthroscopic surgery on the hips. Since September, we have gone through series of injections and he is always on time and his staff is cheerful and helpful. I have been under long time care in NY. Dr Mai quickly found areas in need of treatment that other completely doctors missed .He too pointed me into the right direction for referrals. Yesterday I had my four areas in my hip repaired and today, as expected, sore and walker challenged. It will pass. Surgery ran a bit late but I was prepared for that ,as not every case can go on time. Dr Mai himself kept me abreast of the time and thats a rarity for a physician to do. Dr Mai's bedside manner is more than appropiate he is a positive and upbeat person with a compassionate heart. Dont walk but run ( if you can) to Dr. Mai's care. Like me you will be more than satisfied. Bless you Dr Mai.

For anyone living in Northwest Florida that is a considering a total hip replacement, I would encourage you to consider the practice of Dr. Matthew Mai, an orthopedic surgeon at the Andrews Institute for Orthopedics in Gulf Breeze, Fla. I am not quick to make recommendations, however in this case I cannot express how pleased I am that I am a patient of Dr. Mai. The short story: my motivation in having the procedure was the desire to pick up my 20 month old granddaughter and not feel as if I might drop her due to pain or weakness in my hip joint. A short two weeks after the operation, I am blessed to do exactly as I wished. Everything about Dr. Mai’s practice is professional, caring, no-nonsense, and efficient. How refreshing to have check-in, x-rays, and appointment consultation occur with minimal to no wait time. In addition to the initial consultation, I was provided with quality information to take home to review that answers all the questions I forgot to ask. The operation was flawless. I was up and walking the same day, and would have been home the same evening if I wasn’t still loopy from the anesthesia. I was home early the following morning. Please understand, this is still surgery with the associated risks of any procedure. There is moderate pain involved due to impact to muscle tissue; however the pain in the arthritic joint is noticeably missing. This is all predicted in the consultation literature. Two weeks to the day, I just finished walking roughly ¾ of mile after having the ball joint of the largest bone in my body cut off. Amazing! Thanks to Dr. Mai and his entire staff for developing the skills and procedures that will give me back the mobility activity level that I had in the past Ken Nordlander

After 5 years of dealing with chronic hip pain I couldn’t take the pain and lack of mobility any longer. As a self- employed real estate appraiser, the though of not working for several weeks after the surgery was the reason I had put off getting the procedure done. Much to my surprise Dr. Mai advised he could to the surgery on an out- patient basis, which I replied, “let’s do this”! My surgery was scheduled for Monday at 7:00 am and I was home by noon (which includes a 45- minute drive home). The following day I was up and walking around with the aid of a walker. By day two I was walking unassisted and taking no pain medication. I went back to work on Friday! After my three- month check-up Dr. Mai gave me a clean bill of health to do whatever I wanted, so the following day I ran 2 miles.
