Dr. Toulson has been recognized as one of the top adult reconstruction surgeon in DFW. Dr. Toulson and his team share a passion for excellence in orthopedic care and work together to provide just that. Areas of specialty include adult hip and knee reconstruction and Robotic Assisted joint replacements. Dr. Toulson leads all of North Texas in robotic-assisted joint replacements. His advanced hip and knee replacement techniques result in rapid recovery times for patients. Most patients are walking without a cane or walker in just one to two days and driving in one to two weeks. Dr. Toulson is sought after for his excellent outcomes in hip and knee replacement, including the anterior supine hip replacement, which allows him to reach the hip joint from the front of the hip as opposed to the lateral (side) or the posterior (back) approach. This technique minimizes pain and recovery time. With the anterior approach, he can replace a hip joint without detaching muscle from the pelvis or femur during surgery. This method allows patients to immediately bend their hip freely and bear full weight, resulting in a more rapid return to normal function. Dr. Toulson’s education and training are only outperformed by his warm smile and kindhearted nature.
