Re: Big thank you Re: Dr. Gross info

[Guest guest]

One more recommendation Sherry - Dr. Gross did my right hip, damaged from a

childhood fence-jumping incident, and I only stumbled onto resurfacing thru

word of mouth in my office 10 days before I was to have a THR by the top

ortho in Michigan, who gave me old info on resurfacing and thumbed his nose

at it. I cancelled the THR after talking person to person with Gross for

at least 30 minutes after much preparatory websurfing, convinced by his

forthrightness, detailed explanation and conviction. His assistant Lee

Webb was terrrific along with everyone else in their office. My operation

was less painful than having my left rotator cuff repaired

arthroscopically, and I was driving in 10 days, going to meetings on

crutches in about 3 weeks, and back in the office in 4 1/2 weeks, off all

support around 6 weeks, and now, 5 1/2 months later, taking 4 flights of

stairs at work every day two steps at a time. This morning I felt so good

I jogged from the parking lot into the office, and I'm 59 and no great

athelete - it is so great to be walking normally again after 3 years of

limping. My incision was about 6 inches, but in my mind, I'd rather have

the surgeon have adequate space to work in and do a good job, than to have

his vision and access obscured by trying to work thru too small an

incision. I had several small glitches along the recovery path which I of

course worried about at the time, but they turned out to be normal

occurrences during the healing process and now are gone. Good luck to

you!

Subject: Big thank you Re: Dr. Gross info

Just wanted to send one BIG thank you to all of you who responded to my

request for info on Dr. Gross. I was overwhelmed, to say the least.

Hearing from so many of you gives me a real boost of confidence in the

Dr. and the procedure. By the way, does Dr. Gross offer the 3 " mini

incision approach to the resurfacing procedure?
