Welcome to Mayo Connect, I am hoping someone near you can respond to your question with local specifics.
When I needed a revision, and chose not to return to my original surgeon (severe personality differences - no question of his competence) I asked a trusted PT who was the best. The recommendation I got was stellar - he was able to explain why he recommended the new doc, and after one meeting, I heartily agreed. Twelve years later, I am still his patient, not only for hip rechecks, but for annual evaluation of my knees, shoulders and elbows. When I needed hand surgery, I trusted his recommendation and he was spot-on! Although he doesn't "do" elbows & shoulders, he is monitoring mine - watchful for the day they will need surgery, and judiciously injecting cortisone as needed to augment my PT and exercise regimen.

So, if you need revision, I suggest you ask a PT, then go online and read everything you can about the suggested doc(s). Also, if you belong to a gym or fitness club, ask around - you will soon learn who is good and who to avoid.

Unless you are in an underserved area, I am not sure it is necessary to travel for a hip revision, unless there are extenuating circumstances. Can you explain why you need a revision? Metal on metal, infection, or just worn out?

If you're still looking for a surgeon in Colorado, Craig Loucks, MD, was AMAZING when he did my revision.
