Dr Housman is an excellent orthopedic surgeon, I was lucky to have him do my complete hip replacement.surgery. Everything went like clockwork and I was doing better in a shorter period of time then I thought I would, and I am 71 years old. From my experience Dr Housman is the best Orthopedic Surgeon in Tucson.
