Dr. Schwechter performed a total right hip replacement in January of this year. I'm doing things I never thought I'd be able to do again and it's only been 3.5 months since surgery! He has given me my life back and more. From the very first visit I knew he was the doctor I wanted to go with; he did not rush into surgery but instead examined every possibility first. It took me over a year to really be ready for this surgery, and once I was I knew I was in good hands. The recovery has been so seamless; my friends are amazed at how fast I am getting back to the things I love.
