RE: Re: Northwest area hip replacement surgeon recommendation

[Guest guest]

If your friend wants to come a little further south -to Southern California, Newport Beach - I would highly reccomend my surgeon Dr Mikulak - out of Hoag Hospital -

I had a TRH replacement, Zimmer method on Nov 2nd and was driving in 2 weeks, and back to work in 3 weeks - not bad for a 68 year old !!

Seriously, he was the first in Orange County to do this surgery and is having amazing results.

Please feel free to contact me with any further questions.
