Great Britain's Andy Murray says meeting surgeon Sarah Muirhead-Allwood was the pivotal things in his comeback.
Murray underwent a hip resurfacing surgery at the end of January in London.
The 32-year-old's main goal was to improve the quality of life but the surgery went extremely well as he is now set to make a comeback to tennis this week.
Three-time Grand Slam champion Murray will test his hip by playing doubles with Feliciano Lopez at the Queen's Club.
"A pivotal moment in my return has been meeting Sarah Muirhead-Allwood, the surgeon at the London Hip Unit who operated on me in January," Murray said in his latest BBC column.
"I knew she had operated on Prince Philip's hip last year, and before that the Queen Mother - but I didn't know how that would translate to working on an athlete.
"I first met Sarah in late January, shortly after I got back to London from Melbourne, and we chatted for about an hour. During this I asked her: "How do I know you're good?"
"I wasn't doing it to be rude, but in sport you can tell how good someone is by their ranking. But how do I know a surgeon is good?
"She just said to me: 'Well, you don't. You don't know."'
Murray also said he felt the surgeon was "very honest" with him and he heard nothing but good about her from the people he knows.
