Dr. Duke did my husband's hip replacement using the anterior procedure. As far as we can tell he did an excellent job, BUT do not ever expect to see him either before or after the procedure, you will see his personal assistant. His assistant saw my husband to decide if he really needed the replacement, after deciding he did he saw Dr. Duke one time, then Dr. Duke did the surgery, spoke to me over the phone and after that my husband had to deal with his assistant. This may be all well and good, but we would have liked to see him just once to get his final OK!
I am hearing great things about Tri-County Ortho. A very good friend of mine has been seeing Dr. Thomas, a lady, see this link which gives her background etc.
Claudia L. Thomas, Leesburg Florida - Non Operative Orthopaedic Medicine & Fracture Treatment They do have an office on 466 in TV.
She is Yale and John's Hopkins - cannot get much better than that!
