Within a three week period, my hip pain went from uncomfortable to debilitating. I wasn’t sure what was going on. The thought of a hip replacement was very scary for me. A friend of mine recommended Dr. Palmer. I was able to get an appointment within days. Dr. Palmer listened to my symptoms, my lifestyle needs, and from there educated me on why I needed a hip replacement, how he performs the Anterior hip replacement (faster recovery time), And how this approach would allow me to resume my lifestyle quicker. He gave me his personal email and phone number and told me to call him anytime. He has a dedicated Nurse (Lori) who is amazing. She too provided direct access in case I had any questions.
Dr. Palmer truly cared about me. He even moved his schedule around to accommodate performing the surgery, as quick as possible. The communication leading to the day of surgery was unbelievable and went a long way to remove any fears I had. Dr. Palmer has a pre-surgical protocol that he has his patients follow to reduce the risk of infection post-surgery. He also has a proven post-surgical protocol that led to a quicker recovery. Dr. Palmer and his staff really care about you as a person and do everything in their power to make sure they not only fix your hip but also address any concerns or fears the patient might have. Needless to say, I am truly grateful to Dr. Palmer and his staff! I was walking the same day of surgery and was able to resume the majority of my lifestyle within two weeks of surgery.
