was told crepitus I experienced was quite common however did not inform me of this before operation . his follow up was done by his assisting surgeon. I saw him 8 months after operation and his attitude was somewhat overbearing.

Ian FINLAY Right hip replacement. Got out of bed the same night of surgery with crutches . Walked the next day with crutches and was able to perform all requirements to leave hosp that were supposed to be achieved on the third day. All people that were present on the morning for knee and hip ops were basically the same as me, up and about . The only person I saw that struggled was massively overweight. Bedside manner and prior examinations were personable and professional. I liked the man. Also I was x rayed the night of the op and saw on my xrays that my hip replacement was near as perfect you could get being aligned with my left hip. One year on (70) can't complain ride 10/15 k a day on my bicycle. Getting the left hip done soon. Tip. Lose as much weight has you can, get within your ideal BMI prior to the op.

Use as a last resort. Could be better described as a butcher rather than surgeon. And treats patients as if cattle. No bedside manner, no care about patients, just get em in operate and push them out

Stay away. Shoulder OP that left me not able to use my entire arm for 6 months. All he did was talk about motorcycles. Didn't care or ask about the history of my injury.
