Carlos R 36yrs. Old
THR- Right Hip
Dr.S.Adibe
Jersey City, New Jersey, Greenville Hospital
I was truly blessed with my doctor because he took the time to explain and
made me feel at ease. After I was released from the hospital this man took
the time to call my house every night for some time to ask how I was
doing! He fought with my HMO because they wanted to sent me home early
because of my age, but "Doc" did battle for me and for that I am
grateful!
name: Jan C
surgery date: November 1, 1999
type: total hip replacement
doctor: Richard H. Rothman
place: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
hospital details: Rothman Institute at Jefferson Thomas Jefferson
University Hospital, 925 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa. 19107, phone:
215-855-3458
Imagine a place where a staff member goes from room to room, playing
violin in the genre you prefer. A five star hotel? A very exclusive cruise
ship? No, this was just one of my wonderful experiences in the orthopaedic
ward at Jefferson Hospital where I recuperated after total hip replacement
by Dr. Richard H. Rothman, President of the American Association of Hip
and Knee Surgeons ( the violinist was a nurse who volunteered his talents
before his shift began). My surgery went so well that I have needed
absolutely no pain killers after the operation. Experience
(Rothman's not mine)
clearly matters, and he has done more than 20,000 hip replacements. The
care and its
organizational sophistication was unbelievable. Dr. Rothman was on the
phone to my wife even before my incision was fully closed by his team.
From the physical therapists to the occupational therapists, from the
nurses to the attending cardiologist, I met, in five
days, nothing but the most competent, attentive, caring, hardworking and
cheerful people. Even the dreaded hospital food was actually quite good. I
am home now, looking back at a truly extraordinary week. The Rothman
Institute may have equals elsewhere in the world but I lack the
imagination to contemplate how my experience could be surpassed.

Surgery: Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty performed at Central DuPage
Hospital
Date of Surgery: Feb. of 1998
Doctor: Dr. Wayne Paprosky
Main Office: Central DuPage Hospital, 25 N. Winfield Rd., Winfield, IL.
60190, Ph# 630-682-5653
Comments: Dr. Paprosky specializes exclusively in primary and revision
total hip and knee arthroplasty. Many of the surgeries he performs are
technically extremely difficult and deal with cases of the most severe
nature, correcting problems such as massive bone loss in both the femur
and the acetabulum. He teaches his trade all over the world and is held in
the highest esteem by his peers. He is what I call a teachers
teacher.
I found the staff at Central DuPage
Hospital to be warm and friendly and extremely competent. I strongly
recommend Dr. Paprosky and the Central DuPage Hospital to anyone who is a
candidate for replacement hip surgery, especially those who have already
had multiple surgeries.

Dr. William Jaffe
Park Avenue and 89th Street
New York City
Hospital for Joint Disease
Dr. Jaffe performed a left total hip replacement on me in December, 1997.
He
is an excellent surgeon and a wonderful man as well. He gets my
highest
recommendation. He will be eventually replacing my right hip as I
have AVN
in that hip as well.

I had two hip replacements, a year apart, in 1995 and
1996. I suffered from congenital hip dysplasia, and had had surgery
as an infant on both hips. One hip had to have a lot of bone
reconstruction, and extra work. The other one was much easier.
My doctor's name: Dr. Kevin Garvin
Doctor's City, State: Omaha, NE
Hospital: University Hospital
Comments: Dr. Garvin came well recommended, and
knows a lot about the problems associated with my type of problem.
He is soft spoken, with a great bedside manner. He really knows
his stuff. I have recommended him and his staff to anyone that has
asked me about hip surgery. I am now 37 years old,
so I will have to go through this again in about 15 years; so I hope
that you will all help me through it again!

My INCREDIBLE doctor is: Dr.
Aaron Rosenburg
Midwest Orthopedics
Rush Pres. St. Lukes Hospital
Chicago, IL
Phone: 312-243-4244
Dr Rosenburg and his staff are extremely busy BUT never have I felt rushed
in anyway. God bless him for making my past 6 years better. With
experimental surgeries I have luckily kept my legs, time is running short
but I think 6 years is WONDERFUL. What a great team!
