I just wanted to let you know that every day I thank God for you and my new hip. I cannot adequately describe my heartfelt appreciation in how you have improved my
life. As you know, I had been impacted by my hip since 1993. It negatively affected
everything about me, physically and emotionally.

This not is long overdue, but never too late to thank you for giving me back my mobility. My hip has never been better and I am able to do so much now. The whole experience was nothing but positive for me, and many who have seen my “new way of walking” have asked for your name and number. My left hip is now in the “advertising agency!”. You have been greatly blessed and are using all your talents to help so many people. I am lucky to be counted as one of them!
Thank you so much. You will never know how much you help people.

It’s been 2.5 months since surgery of my right hip replacement. After some healing, physical therapy and passage of time, I found myself walking straight, without pain in my hip, knees or back. Friends and family could not believe, including the physical therapist, how quickly I was healing and getting back to everyday routine. I know started to play tennis without pain and shortly will try some golf.

Thank you for improving my quality of life with skill and compassion. The Anterior approach to hip replacement that you have perfected will bring relief to many patients and honor to the medical profession. I am home walking without a cane 12 days after surgery. The PT that have visited are amazed that I have made this progress. My wife Robin has kept a diary and I look forward to sharing more about the experience with you on my appointment April 26, 1PM.

On the 1 year anniversary of my second bone replacement (tomorrow) I wanted to let you know how well I am doing. I am actually able to run! I think a combination of your skill, my healing ability (internally and externally) and a “little bit of luck” have all helped me to have a great recovery. Thank you so much for your excellent work!

Having seen you in the Hawthorne office just two weeks ago, I must apologize for this (too-long) delayed note of thanks. At this time of that appointment, I was so distracted in my struggle to understand an article on hormesis in the magazine scientific I had picked up in the reception area, that I was totally unfocused during our short conversation after you came into the examining room, and only later realized I had been remiss. When you asked me how I as doing after my November 2014 hip replacement surgery, I failed to allegedly tell you that it had changed my life in all the most positive ways and actually returned me not only to my easier “normal” activity and serves of well-being, but had given me a renewed sense of worth and energized determination to make a greater contribution to improving others life as well. As I’m sure you know, being incapacitated- even to a degree- affects ones mental state and emotional health as well, and I’m so deeply grateful to now be well and “able” again. Thank you for returning my life to me and for making me so much more empathetic as well.

I must send you my personal thank-you for the wonderful gift you and your staff have given me- the ability to resume my playing of the pedals on our church organ- thus, allowing me to honor our creator in worship to him- full of gratitude for the gifts he has given you. May each new day bring added blessings to you as you continue to help so many others.

Please know how deeply I appreciate your care of me in so many different ways before, during, and after my hip replacement. You put me at ease from my first meeting with you. You gave us time and answered all my questions. You are a very present person- truly a gift in today’s culture.
