He was very thorough in informing me as to what I could expect in regard to my hip replacement, and made me feel very comfortable with what was going to take place. He appears to be very conservative in his approach, which I found reassuring. All in all, he is a great doctor to interact with, and did a wonderful job on my hip replacement. Hopefully I don't need any other joint replacements, but would definitely go to him if I did.
