Review for Megan Imoehl
Only Dr. in the area that does a anterior approach hip replacement surgery. This method leaves all the muscles and conective tissue in tact. This allows for a quicker recovery and better overall recovery. 3 month out and I feel like a new man. So if you're looking for the Dr. with that...

Review for Dr. Clark
He is an excellent human being. Very honest. I had seen another orthopedic doctor for the same problem. I was recommended surgery to trim my meniscus. He suggested a different approach. He recommended physical therapy and injections. After three months I can tell why he thought this would work....
