hip replacement
 

may need a hip replacement, if you had it done what surgeon did you have.. thx.

Dr. Locker
 

There are several good hip surgeons in the area. My experience with Dr. Locker in Ocala was perfect. I had my hip replacement at his on site surgical suite and walked out before noon the day of surgery. He listens and is thorough in his explanation. He would be an excellent choice. Here is a link to his website:

Joseph R. Locker, M.D. - The Orthopaedic Institute

Dr Ollivierre
 

I used Dr Ollivierre here in Lake Sumter Landing as did a couple friends. Had it done March 10th. Back working at the rec center in 6 weeks. Playing pickleball again at a good pace and extremely satisfied overall.

Several of my neighbors had Dr. Locker in Ocala with no complaints.

I watched an op. on Youtube, and it didn't look too hard to do.
I will do it for $500.
Garage and work bench are very clean!:icon_wink:

Giggle, snort!

Dr Karina at UNOVA. Did both of my knees and several friends hips. Up and running...Fast

The Orthopedic Institute, Dr. McFadden.

Dr John Williams. Great Doctor

Dr. Locker, Orthopedic Institute

Dr. Duke

Dr Parvateneni (sp?) He is with UF Health. Has office on 441 at UF Health and operates out of Shands. Excellent!

Dr. John Williams. He has his own Physical Therapy on-site. Located behind TV Hospital. Access by cart. He also has his own band, playing at the Savanah Center, in Oct.

Can you tell me your age & did you have the less invasive type or the typical hip surgery? Also, how long before you could function alone? Thank you.

How about two hips for.....say, $800? :pray:

Hip replacement
 

I just had a hip replacement in Feb. at UNOVA on Rolling Acres. I walked in at 8:00 and walked out at 3:30 with a walker. It's an anterior approach and no muscles are cut. I only took Tylenol for discomfort. I was done with outpatient PT in 2 weeks.

I too used Dr. Locker. Surgery was done at West Marion Hospital in Ocala. All around positive experience.

I had Dr Steve Nguyen. Orlando. However they have opened an office on 44 near Brownwood. I used a walker for 1.5 DAYS. Therapy is get up and walk. He does not cut the muscle. Whoever does it you must insist tgey go through the front. No worries about it popping out. Minimal recovery. Dr. Nguyen has done both of my knees and my rotator cuff. I won't go anywhere else.

Hip
 

Had hip done by Dr Van De Leur, same practice as Dr Locker. Great job, was up and around immediately and in a few weeks was back to the better me.

Hip
 

Dr Hari Parvataneni at Shands. Did my total hip revision to repair my hip replacement done by Dr. John Williams.
(Implant Dr Williams used was too small and loose)

Couple of friends went to Dr. Rogers in Ocala. They were pleased.

Hip replacement
 

Love Dr. Williams! I, too, had a hip replacement but Dr. John Williams here in The Villages 12/29/20. Easy surgery, easy recovery, got great care in TV Hospital. I did everything I was told to do and returned to all activities in 6 weeks.

While you are in the area, how much extra to do some liposuction fat removal? 😁

I understand the best is Dr. Duke in Ocala. That’s where I’m going.

Dr. John Williams is the best in local TV area

Excellent !!! Post more of these !

Hip surgery
 

I will use Dr. Messieh here in the Villages.
He has his own staff at South Lake Hospital, Clermont.
The staff at the hospital are excellent.
They respond extremely quickly.
The other surgeons I evaluated were Dr. John Williams and Dr. Cole.
Dr. Cole is in Orlando, rated nationally quite high.
He has invented medical equipment, wrote a book and has had many articles published.

I am using Dr. Messieh primarily because he replaced a knee some years ago. I was walking without a cane within a week.

Wish you the best.

Jeffrey Karina at UNOVA. Very pleased from start to finish and follow up

Friend recommends Dr. Duke in Ocala.

I had my hip replaced by Dr. Duke 4 years ago. PERFECT result, he did the surgery in West Marion
hospital. Dr. James Duke and his staff are wonderful people - very caring.

hip replacement
 

I just had a hip replacement 2 weeks ago. It was done by Dr. Timothy Van deLeur and he was terrific. He is with the Orthopedic Institute. Can’t recommend him highly enough.

thx everyone for the replies.. but after careful consideration I think I will go with Two Bills IF he will do it for $400 ... :coolsmiley:

I too used Dr. Joseph Locker and walked out of West Marion in Ocala same day. Could not be more pleased.

Dr. Duke in Ocala
 

He does anterior (frontal) hip replacement surgery. Minimal muscles cut and much quicker recovery. Surgery is done in West Ocala Regional Hospital. Highly recommended. Someone told me that he was limiting his practice to knee replacement. I don't know if that is true.

Hip surgeon
 

Dr Williams did both my hubby's hips. Wonderful. No problem

$450, and i'll do it tomorrow!


Good luck with who ever you do decide to go with.

Would definitely recommend Dr. Duke. Did mine in 2016 and all is good.
