Referred to Dr Lika from another Dr in the same office and practice because my MRI results had some abnormal findings. Dr Lika almost seemed put-out by me even being there. Believe me, I did not want to spend almost $200.00 to be this frustrated.

I've had both hips replaced. The first, a posterior operation, was five years ago and done by a very competent surgeon. Based on a friend's recommendation of Dr. Lika and his anterior approach to hip surgery, I decided to try it. Great decision. The recovery time has been much faster and since muscles aren't cut, I feel that the pain is less. I have been extremely impressed with Dr. Lika, his staff and most importantly, his skill. If you must have surgery, I strongly recommend consulting with Dr. Lika.
