Dr Harper BOTCHED My HIP REPLACEMENT. I got it done a few years ago by Dr Benjamin Harper. My Pain HAS NEVER GONE AWAY, NOW YEARS LATER!! I went to 2 other Local Orthopedic Surgeons. I think that All of the Local Orthopedic Surgeons stick together AND WON'T say anything bad about Each Other! One associate told me, on the side, That I Should Go OUTSIDE OF THE GRAND RAPIDS, MI AREA IF I "GET A REAL" SECOND OPINION!! I AM IN Miserable PAIN EVERY DAY!! I DON'T WANT TO LIVE LIKE THIS IN PAIN EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY!! I Hope that this Information will help someone!

Dr Harper is a fantastic caring doctor. He has replaced both my hips several years ago and continues to provid the best followup I could ask for. He truly cares about his patients which in today's medical arena is rare. With most other doctora you are just another number. Not with Dr Harper
