I had a hip replacement in November 2014 by Dr. James Duke in Ocala. I was in West Marion Community Hospital for 2 nights in a private room. They started me on PT the next morning. I had rehab at home with a PT that came to the house 3 times a week for 3 weeks. Recovery took about 4 months before I could play golf and go to water aerobics. Now, 8 months later, I can do everything without pain! I highly recommend Dr. Duke, he is an excellent Doctor and a very kind man. Before surgery, he gathers everyone in the operating room and they say a prayer for the patient!!! He has performed over 7500 hip replacements!
