Dr. Derek Hill is a true professional with expertise, knowledge and skill in orthopedics. Personable and caring and takes time to answer all questions and concerns. I recently had an anterior right hip replacement. Dr. Hill's knowledge and skill made my surgery and recovery quick and without any apprehension. I feel like a new person! He is a concerned, caring doctor and surgeon with compassion and understanding for his patient. His staff also meets high quality of assisting patients needs. I would highly recommend Dr. Hill to anyone with orthopedic concerns.

Dr. Hill did both my knees. I used to walk all crooked. My knees were knocked and I was in a lot of pain. Thanks to him, I now walk straight and am pain free.

If you have hip or knee pain you owe it to yourself to consult with Dr. Derek Hill. I had an anterior hip replacement â?? this was the best decision I made (along with having a top notch orthopedic surgeon). I had a smooth recovery and have resumed my activities without any hip pain or limp. Dr. Hillâ??s dedicated skills in the field of orthopedic surgery is apparent when you consult with him. He has been recognized in 2014 & 2015 by his peers as a â??Top Doctorâ?? in Detroitâ??s Hour magazine. I would highly recommend Dr. Hill to anyone including my family and friends. I know anyone will be just as pleased as I.
