I have only good things to say about Dr. Stachniw and his staff, and the staff at Cottage Hospital. He is compassionate & caring, very willing to answer questions, and, imnsho, as capable a surgeon as any doing resurfacing. Regarding the devices - BHR is not used in the USA, only the Cormet and Conserve Plus... Hope this helps...Earl.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 Dr. Stachniw is Superman, no doubt about it and Reva, his nurse in charge of the Corin study is Wonderwoman!!! I travelled from Seattle to have both hips resurfaced by him,(about 5 months apart). You can email me personally if you want info. I had absolutely no problem with insurance. I had Blue Cross also but Blue Cross of Illinois (just a coincidence). I think you already got the answer about BHR, not available in this country. Most people think the three prothesis' are about comprable. Dr. Stachniw is uniquely qualified about this whole experience since he had both his hips resurfaced.
