Patient Reviews
Jan 11, 2024
Dr. Michael Seel, his physician assistant Taylor Callahan , scheduler Carol Kelly, and the rest of the staff at FryeCare Orthopedics were outstanding and provided me with the necessary skills and technology to replace an arthritic hip that has bothered me for over 5 years.I chose Dr. Seel because of his personality, experience, and the fact that Dr Seel was a Mako SmartRobotics surgeon. The MAKO technology I believed would add to the success and precision of a hip replacement. As Dr Seel educated me the Mako SmartRobotic had many pluses but the #1 plus is the Mako technology reduces the dislocation rate of the new Hip ball from a 5% to a 1% dislocation rate. For me 1% is better than a 5% potential. Also Check out Talk To Docs on youtube for instructive videos about HIP and knee surgery.Thank you and I wish you well if you chose Dr. Seel to, and I quote him, “fix you up”.
