Do you suggest one hospital over another in Boston

Hip replacements are outpatient surgeries that are incredibly simple. You don’t need a world class surgeon to effectively perform it. I would go to the first place that has an opening within whatever range you’re willing to travel

Mass General or Brigham & Women’s. They’re considered among the best surgeons in the world.

I honestly don't know how using VA Benefits/Insurance will effect things, but I'd check out MGH, BWH, Newton Wellesley, or NE Baptist. Overall much better care than Maine.

MGH and BWH may be better - and much more costly - but I doubt NW or NEB are really better than what is at MMC in Portland.
