Now accepts my insurance. They are number one in the nation for Orthopedic Surgery. I had corrective surgery there as a child to even out the difference in the length of my legs. It works for a little while, but now my left side is an inch shorter from the hip wear and tear, I guess. I have been researching their doctors and found one I may want to have my 6th consultation with (I guess I can't make up my mind). His name is Dr. David Mayman and the website reports that he does 700 surgeries a year. That seems like a lot to me, I don't know. Also he uses the robotic device to perform the surgeries. I read that this makes the placement of the replacement hip more precise and since I have hip dysplasia, I think it would be an important factor.
Has anyone had robotic assisted surgery and what was your experience with it? Also, does anyone know of this doctor?
Any other you would recommend from this hospital?? I won't give up till I find the perfect fit.
I have 7 weeks of time accumulated from work that I can take for my recovery time, so I'm getting close to being able to do it--although, I hope to accumulate atleast 8 weeks. Also, my short term disability insurance existing condition waiting period is up in May so, I will be planning on having my replacement fall 2020 or spring 2021...I don't want to risk winter weather issues.
Any input on this doctor, or what I should ask him would be greatly appreciated.
