Dr. Kruezer, Dr. Cupic, Mike and the rest of the staff:
I had total hip replacement on Monday, was up and walking without any assistance on Tuesday, and am now home on Wednesday, just after noon. I have been essentially pain free the whole time.

Dr. Kruezer assured me of my chances of a good outcome, but did not over-promise. He instead over-delivered! Hardly any of my friends or family believe my experience, and to be honest I am having some dis-belief myself. But seeing is believing, and that is what happened.

I can't thank you adequately, but let me just say- you're the best!

Tommy Grimes is a 61-year-old, self-employed real estate agent whose favorite activity is playing golf. Unfortunately, a nagging pain in his hip was preventing him from getting out on the course. His hip was steadily degenerating to the point that it was interfering with everyday life.

A referral from a friend brought Grimes to see Alain Elbaz, MD, an orthopedic surgeon in the Champions area. Dr. Elbaz determined that Grimes was an ideal candidate for a new state-of-the-art procedure at Methodist Willowbrook Hospital. This minimally invasive surgery would allow Grimes to recover faster and more easily than traditional hip surgery.
