Featured Review
I had Dr. Christopher Vinton replaced my left hip (anterior approach) July 17, 2025. He did an absolutely outstanding job. Here it is August 6 (less than 3 weeks later) and I am back to work, doing what I have always done. I have had very little to no pain at all since the surgery and I only took Tylenol for the first few days and then got off of it. I can’t say enough about him from his bedside manner to his answering all of my questions to the outstanding job he did on my hip. I would highly recommend him to anyone. I feel like he gave me my physical life back. Thank you Dr. Vinton & team!! David Barbale Charlton Ma.

I'd made arrangements to have total hip replacement surgery with a local orth. surgeon. Then I heard about Dr. Vinton, who performs the surgery from an anterior approach (front of hip rather than posterior - which, among other issues, involves a much longer recovery period). No cutting of nerves, tendons, muscles, etc. You need more devices, i.e., raised toilet seat, shower chair, etc. I would highly recommend Dr. Vinton. Initial recovery time is 4 - 6 wks., but being faithful with the exercises, I could walk perfectly at 3 wks. No walker, no cane - nothing. If you have to choose your surgeon, call his office for a consult. He's the best. J. Iadarola

After years of pain and being incorrectly diagnosed, I was referred to Dr Vinton by my chiropractor. I immediately felt confidence in his manner. He went over my x-rays in detail with me and I scheduled surgery before I left the office. I have had 2 hip replacements in the last 4 months and am finally without any pain and walking straight. Hope he can perform my knee replacement when the time comes!
