Mine was done at UNOVA in TV and I am very pleased. I walked in at 8:30 and walked out (with a walker) at 3:30. A RN and PT came that evening. I was 73years old then. Good Luck

Great feedback for Dr. Locker, Ocala Orthopaedic Institute
 
I really appreciate everyone's feedback for Dr. Locker and others. It really puts my mind at ease to hear from all of your first-hand experience...Thanks again!

Dr Van de Leur is awesome. I had my hip replaced 3 months ago (he operates at Marion in Ocala), came home the same day, used a walker 1 day and a cane about 3 days and today i can do anything i did before. I highly recommend him

I would appreciate any feedback from anyone that has past (or recent even better) experience with Dr. Locker. I would appreciate any recommendations...Thank you

I can highly recommend Dr. Locker. He did mine in 2021. He’s the best!

He just installed a new hip replacement for my wife. Three weeks later no walker, very little use of cane, she is driving the golf cart and the car, most of the pain, swelling and stiffness are gone. No swimming yet, until the scar heals completely. Good surgeon with a good support staff.

Again I am so grateful for a community that we can turn to for helpful and positive feedback on so many important issues. I appreciate all of your wonderful responses. I am in so much pain, sometimes I feel overwhelmed. I also appreciate Dr. Van de Leur's recommendation as well. He is from the same Orthopedic Group as Dr. Locker and gives me even more confidence that I am in great hands (no pun intended) Thank you all so much!!
