Dr. Chimento did a total hip replacement on both of my hips within 3 months of each other. That was in 2016 and here it is 2020 and I have had no pain, since I recovered from the 2 surgeries. I can walk 60 minutes a day, 7 days a week with no pain. It was the best thing I ever did for myself. Dr. Chimento is a great surgeon, and I highly recommend him. Anne Cavanaugh

After undergoing hip replacement surgery in Hattiesburg, MS., In which I ended up with a leg difference of 1 1/4 inches, I used Dr. Chimento as a revision surgeon. He was awesome! My legs are now equal and through physical therapy I am hoping to strengthen my leg until it is close to normal. I can not express my appreciation for this doctor!

This is a detailed surgeon I get the feeling from some people they expect a family practitioner I like have a surgeon who is ocd- because when he operated on me I wanted the best not necessarily the chattiest

I will always be extremely grateful for having Dr. Chimento taking care of my leg. The concern and empathy that I received from his entire team was phenominal. The nurse practioner, Shannon, went above and beyond any expectations. Dr. Chimento and his team made this difficult time bearable with their outstanding care and concern for my well being.
