I am so thankful to God for guiding me to a gifted and superior surgeon who has now performed two successful hip replacements on me. I am only almost 3 weeks out from my second and I am confident that I will be back to doing all the things again before long. Everyone heals differently, but this surgery I was off of my walker after 3 days and barely used a cane, if at all, after that. Dr. Bottros is caring and communicative and always available to answer all the questions and concerns one might have along the way.
