Patient Reviews
May 31, 2022
Dr. Mohler did a total hip replacement for both hips two months apart. Prior to surgery, I had a lot of pain and a terrible limp and quit playing tennis after 45 years of playing. As soon as I woke up from surgery, my pain was gone. I could walk without a cane in two days. Did a 12 mile hike in the mountains two weeks later, and started playing tennis three and a half weeks after. It has now been just under three months from my last hip replacement, and I can run, jump, make athletic moves, and am as fast as I was 15 years ago. So I went from…did want to go to the mailbox because of pain, to can workout every day as well as play tennis and now very competitive again because I have no pain and thus can move quickly. I am loving life as my quality of life is as it was when I was younger. Of course, I don’t have a limp now as well.
