Patient Stories

Hip Replacement – While wintering in Florida this past season I developed a pain in my left leg and two weeks into the pain, I had difficulty walking. In fact, I had to use a cane to assist in walking. After seeing three physicians (an internist, an orthopedist, and a pain doctor) I was told that I had a lumbar problem and an epidural injection was prescribed.

Knee Replacement– Dr. Mayman and his team replaced both of my knees, the left in 2013 and the right in 2015.

I was up and taking steps in recovery and the recuperation was much easier and quite different. No warfarin, no ice water pump, and greater mobility earlier in the process. The device was different, as was the post-operative process. Read more….

An MRI revealed that the joint was deteriorated, and that I had no cartilage and bone spurs. I needed a total hip replacement. Read more….
