Default Possible Hip replacement

I have been given names of two docs. Dr Williams with Tri-county Orthopaedic center, and Dr Duke in Ocala. I would appreciate feedback so I can make an informed choice.

Default Hip Replacement doctor

I had my left hip replaced 4 years ago by Dr. Joseph Locker in Ocala at the Orthopedic Clinic. Wonderful results! Highly recommend Dr. Locker and his staff.

Dont know about other docs but Dr. Messieh uses a Hanna table research it and decide the doc you will have for a THR. He also has a website

PLEASE do not use Tri-county - Dr Williams. When I moved to the Villages I selected him and he did my surgery TWICE. He told me after the first surgery that it was his mistake and if I had him redo it he would pay my out of pocket expenses. I asked for a redo because my surgery leg was shorter than my other hip. When I gave him my receipts he told me he would not pay. I should have taken him to court. If you want a good Dr go to Dr. Charles Locker in Ocala. You can contact me at thetrick01@gmail.com. My wife just had both hips done by Dr. Locker and she is doing excently.

Dr. Locker or Dr. Duke in Ocala. Both are excellent.
