Superior access (Mayo greater than a year). All screening prior to appointment executed well which built early trust. Travel instructions clear as we traveled out of state. Surgeon Dr David Manning was timely, engaged, obvious he had reviewed my case, explained situation and his plan, and answered all questions. His deep experience, superior outcomes (infection rate and processes for expeditious OR time, conservative approach to minimize repeat revision, preference for spinal anesthesia, and 50% shorter time to achieve 90% recovery) heavily influenced my decision. His plan includes home PT for the early postop phase showed he truly prioritizes healing. My confidence in his skill and the systems of care propelled me to schedule for earliest OR date. I have confidence he is the best surgeon to get me back to a fully active life.

Dr. David Manning is one of the best. A friend, who works at NW, recommended him to me. He did both my hip replacement & then my husband's. Recovery time was speedy & I have had no pain. So thankful that he gave me my active life back. My only regret is that I didn't go to him sooner!
