Hi Pat,
i have only just come upon your excellent website.
you have done a terrific job.
i am an orthopaedic surgeon in New Zealand and a firm believer in hip resurfacing too.
i originally trained in the UK and learnt hip resurfacing there from Derek McMinn in 2002.
i was wondering if you could add me to your list of surgeons performing hip resurfacing on the surface hippy website please.
My details are Dr W.J. Farrington, MBBS, FRCS(Tr&Orth), Hip and Knee Specialist, North Shore, Auckland, New Zealand. Tel; 09 440 9409 Fax. 052 8290 400400 e-mail billfarrington@nsortho.co.nz
i am also the recipient of a BHR 4 years ago (Derek McMinn). Everything in your website rings true...
i wish you many years of good hip function with yours - and keep up the good work with the website...i think you're going to get very busy in the coming years!
good luck and best wishes, Bill Farrington
Hi Dr. Farrington
Thank You for sharing your information. Iwill get it posted shortly. I appreciate your kind words about my website.
If you office or hospital has a website, I am always happy to recive a link back to
http://www.surfacehippy.info (http://www.surfacehippy.info) A Patient to Patient Guide to Hip Resurfacing
It is great having a hip resurfacing surgeon that also has a BHR! Maybe if you ever have any more technical questions, you might be able to help us with answers.
Thanks again for posting your message and good luck with your BHR.
