Complex total hip with a history of childhood hip disease in a young adult hard laborer male

I was seen by another doctor who was treating my arthritic hip with cortisone but was unsuccessful. He told me that I would need a new hip and said no doctor would operate on me near home because of the metal I already had in my leg from a prior surgery. He said he would send me to the best doctor he knew to correct my hip. I was more than ready to get the ball rolling.

I have had problems with my leg for years. When I came to see you, I was anxious and a little nervous about the whole hip replacement surgery. Then when you talked to me and explained everything you would do, I was very excited. I remember you telling me you could take away the pain, lengthen my leg, and give me more mobility. I was overwhelmed. I am so thankful for all that Dr. Clohisy has done for me. The last five years have been productive since my hip surgery. There was a lot of rehab, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. When people saw me for the first time, standing tall, both legs the same length, walking without a limp, they were all amazed and happy for me. I told them and everyone else I came into contact with, that I owe it all to Dr. Clohisy. I am changed for life!!
