Featured Review
The arthritis in my left hip has progressed to moderate to severe with bone on bone contact in some areas. I was ready to get rid of the pain and was very happy that Dr. Patel agreed I needed hip replacement. He performs the anterior approach which cuts less muscle tissue and has a quicker recovery time. Everything is explained in detail and I have a large packet of information to assist me. I got scheduled for surgery on September 8th. Can’t wait!!
