Full Story
Before my hip replacement, I experienced pain so bad I needed help getting dressed, could not drive, clean or cook. However, five weeks after the procedure and I can say I am back to my normal life. I am way ahead of my recovery schedule. Dr. Zoltan told me it usually takes three months to recover, but I am back to my normal routine.
My quick recovery could certainly be attributed to the trust I have for Dr. Zoltan. He didn’t force a decision on me. He explained what he would do and left it up to me to schedule the surgery. He made me feel comfortable with the surgery.
I walked away from my procedure and stay at MOSH impressed with the overall care I received. If the doctor is comfortable with the facility, then it makes all the difference. The facilities were new, clean and quiet. Whenever I rang the buzzer, the nurses were there.
