I found this forum EXTREMELY helpful both before and after my LTHR in April 2014. But somehow, I never joined. Afterwards, I wished that I'd contributed so that others might benefit. Now I need the right one done and thought I'd start here.
My LTHR was done at Colorado Joint Replacement at Porter in Denver by Dr. Charlie Yang. It works *perfectly*.
But we now live in the San Francisco Bay Area and I am looking for a new surgeon. UCSF is in my insurance network. Any recommendations would be most appreciated. It'll be a great thing when the Surgeon Locator is fully populated.
I'm normally pretty athletic (swim, bike, full yoga practice, lift weights; I used to run but that was not recommended after the first hip replacement), so I'd ideally like to find a surgeon who has some experience with athletes.
I'm looking forward to having the right hip work as well as the left does.
