Patient Reviews
Apr 06, 2024
Dr Doherty is direct, competent with great results. I heard many stories of leg replacement being a more painful and difficult recovery than hip. Not in my case. Everything step proceeded without any issue and with very little need for pain meds. PT started at home and progressed to output. Progress went surprisingly well and pleased with progress.
