Dr Palmer performed a double hip replacement on my brother almost 2 years ago and at 67 he is back to playing tennis, golf, and all his previous activities. He feels great! My brother has since recommended many people to Dr Palmer and all have been extremely happy with the results. So when I needed a hip replacement there was no question that I wanted him to be my surgeon even though we live in MO and it would be a 9 hour drive to get there! My overall experience with Dr Palmer was excellent! He is professional, extremely knowledgable, very confident and has a great bedside manner. Well it has only been 2 weeks since my surgery so I am still in recovery mode. However I am walking unassisted, doing stairs, looking forward to getting back to my normal activities of biking, kayaking, jet skiing, hiking etc. without pain and limping. I have thrown out my shoe lift! I can already feel that my new hip is so much stronger! I would highly recommend Dr Palmer to anyone considering an anterior hip replacement. He has so much experience and came so highly recommended to me!
