Dr. Ratterman Florida as my surgeon

I am having a BHP on June 29th.  At first I was totally freaked.  The Internist I go to here in Tampa, Fl belongs to Florida Medical Clinics. I was refered to Dr. Ratterman.  It turns out he is a SUPERSTAR with this procedure United Health Care even said so.  They have been so nice at the clinic and hospital.  The hospital has it's own 27 bed ward just for hips at USF (the head nurse even gave me her cell phone number 24/7 who does that).  I feel very fortunate to have had such great luck!

Sounds like you have made a great choice or at least had good luck.  A skilled surgeon is vital.  What device will you have implanted?  I bet you are looking forward to a life without hip pain.

Best wishes.
