Greg Stocks, MD, loves helping his patients with knee or hip arthritis that has not responded to conservative treatment, to become or remain as active as possible; whether active means participating in cross-fit and running marathons, or hiking, golfing, playing pickle ball or tennis and doing a daily 4 mile walk, by performing quality-of-life improving hip and knee replacement surgery. Since joining Fondren Orthopedic Group in 1999, where he has served the group as managing partner and as a member of the management committee and board of directors, and currently as co-director of the Adult Reconstruction Fellowship and previously in Lubbock, Texas, where he served as Vice-Chairman of the Orthopedic Department and Residency Program Director at Texas Tech, Stocks provides compassionate and personalized care for all his patients. Stocks performs “Quad-Sparing” knee replacement and minimally-invasive “Mini-Posterior” hip replacement (no muscles cut!) to allow his patients the most rapid recovery with the least discomfort possible. When appropriate, Dr. Stocks performs partial knee replacements, hip resurfacing and revision TKA. Dr. Stocks provides expert care for osteonecrosis (also known as avascular necrosis) of the hip. Stocks sees patients from all over the country and has performed life-changing surgery for patients from Mexico, Africa and the Middle East, in addition to those from all over Texas and Louisiana. Dr. Stocks performs all his surgeries at Texas Orthopedic Hospital, the best facility in the Southwest US for hip and knee replacement surgery, and served the hospital as Chief of Staff from 2013 – 2021.
Meet The Doctor:
- Excellent care delivered with compassion and a personal approach. This approach starts with Nadine Zamorano, our office manager, and continues with Brandon Thompson, Director of Surgical Services, who has led our team since 2000.
- Our staff will strive to treat you the way we would want to be treated, if we were in your shoes. That means respect, compassion and competence.
- Dr. Stocks puts God and family first. He is blessed with a beautiful wife and 4 children, and to have his mother and brother in Houston. He is active in his church and Bible Study Fellowship. He enjoys learning and is currently working on a Master’s Degree at Fuller Theological Seminary. For the past 10 years, Dr. Stocks has traveled to the Middle East and Africa to train Orthopedic Surgeons in hip and knee replacement techniques.
