Patient Reviews
Dec 25, 2023
I'm 69 years old and was having issues with both my hips for over 10 years. I did my research and found Dr Locker and met with him about 10 years ago. After looking at my X-rays, he told me that I would eventually need both hips replaced. I wasn't ready yet, so I continued playing golf and softball as well as other activities. In 2022, my left hip hurt so much that I could no longer play golf or softball. I had troubles walking more than a mile. I did tons of research on orthopedic doctors across the country using various techniques. I finally chose Dr Locker for anterior total hip replacement. I was in good enough shape to do the outpatient surgery. I went in at 11am and was home by 5pm the same day. I was able to walk, albeit gingerly, the next day without a cane or walker. I slowly started walking and within a couple weeks, I was walking a mile without any pain. It's been 6 months and I can do everything I used to do. Should have done it sooner. I highly recommend him.
