Patient Reviews
Oct 31, 2017
My surgery was on June 7th, 2017. It was a complete anterior hip replacement by Dr. Hecht. I had been using a walker for 4 months unable to walk unassisted and in terrible pain. Within 5 days after surgery and going to a rehab facility, I was walking unassisted and was pain free. Rehab jump-started my recovery. Dr. Hecht gave me my life back and I am so grateful!
