Patient Reviews
Mar 12, 2024
AWESOME!!! 7.5 years ago I had my hip replacement and I am normal now for years! I was in daily pain, had to stop while going on walks, felt loose cartilage in my hip joint! It made pain radiate down my leg, my back was sore so I would get steroid shots...all before I turned 60! I was driving after 3-4 weeks. I did my PT at home and used my walker a few weeks. I would 'highly' recommend Dr. Akhtar. Now I wish he was nearby to check out my other hip now. He is a blessing! Yes, I would call him 'no doubts about it'! I was so lucky to have Dr. Akhtar replace my hip after the many horror stories I have heard since!
