My husband (actually my ex- but that's not important) was turned down by 4 doctors from the Villages to Ocala to have hip replacement due to various reasons. Sad because he liked some of the doctors but they felt he needed the replacement done by a doctor who uses computer technology to do the surgery.

Long story short, we found Dr. Dean Cole in Orlando who did his surgery 2 weeks ago. You couldn't ask for a more remarkable doctor, he is tops in this field, does the surgery at Orlando hospital on Orange. Everyone was very accommodating and Dr. Cole is brilliant and an awfully nice guy. Surgery came out fantastic, in hospital for 2 days and no rehab needed. Scar is about 5" on thigh and looks very clean. Can't say its painless but it is very non-invasive and easiest we thought he would have. I highly recommend Dr. Cole, he is definitely worth the trip.
