I have had 3 hip operations and the last one was by far the best.
I had it done through The Orthopaedic Institute in Ocala. The doctor was Dr Michael Riley 352-620 -1900. The operation was done at West Marion Hospital in Ocala. I was there 3 days and then on to rehap. Dr Riley uses the anterior aproach, which I would recommend very highly'. I was up and walking and I couldn't believe how little pain I had. If you are interested in more details you can call me.
PS: Re hab for me was about 5 weeks.
