Patient Reviews
Jan 04, 2023
Dr. Kester gave me back my life again with a total hip replacement. I was not able to walk and had to use a rolling seat walker to get around completely. Now I'm still using a cane for now, but soon will be walking without that. No more pain in hip. Was gone when I woke up. Of course you have pain at surgical site but that is nothing compared to previous pain. I can not say thank you enough to Dr. Kester and his team. THANK YOU.
