I had appointments with 3 doctors prior to contacting Dr. Palmer. He had been recommended by several people during chance meetings. I had been trying to avoid a hip replacement but after meeting him he convinced me that the anterior hip replacement would be the best option for a torn labrum and the cyst that developed. It had been causing a great deal of pain and significantly reduced my movement. When Dr. Palmer described how quickly I would recover from the anterior hip replacement I knew it was the right choice. He was confident I would be without pain in matter of weeks. I walked without assistance in two days and did not need anything stronger than Advil to manage pain. The incision is small and healed quickly. As promised, I was driving in four days after leaving the hospital. Dr. Palmer’s office was quick to set up home Physical Therapy. I had been in so much pain for 6 months I sometimes could not finish a grocery shopping trip. I needed to rest and ice my hip every couple hours. It wasn’t until after the surgery that I realized the cyst had been impacting my movement for over a year. Within a few days of the surgery I was able to lay on that hip and sleep through the night, regained my energy, and was feeling much better. Did I mention I went kayaking 3 weeks after surgery? Dr. Palmer will answer all of your questions before surgery and his nursing staff is available for any after surgery questions you may have. I suggest you meet with Dr. Palmer for an honest opinion for treatment.
