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.

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.

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.
