My goal is to get back to bowling and some golfing without the current pain.

He has operated on folks I know, most recently a total hip replacement right side, & this person was driving in 2 weeks! He only does hips & knees & the West Marion HCA hospital where they operate is one of the best I’ve been to. He has an office @ Brownwood & Summerfield on 441.
