I was sucked in. Here I am 5 &7 years post surgery and am still in a lot of pain & still walking with a cane! When he moved to Marion I went to a new ortho doc and he told me the procedure Hamilton did on both my hips was wrong. I have an almost 8" scar on the outside of my hip/thigh. I start my 3rd round of rehab in 2 weeks. I'm only 47. FIND A NEW DOCTOR!

I found out AFTER the fact that he lied to me for 10 1/2 months that I needed surgery for a torn meniscus. I went to another orthopedic doctor to be told that I had no tears. It was severe arthritis and fluid build up on my knee. He also gave me a cortisone shot, and I was in more pain than before. He is terrible. On followup visits he never checked my range of motion or anything. He basically asked me the same questions every single visit without even checking my knee.
