Title: Amy O's Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Gross 2022
Post by: Pat Walter on September 07, 2022, 03:16:32 PM
 Beautiful email from Amy to Pat Walter about the Surface Hippy.info website
Hey there! I’m sure you get this all the time but your website was a complete lifesaver for me when it came to finding out more about resurfacing. Of course my doctors had only giving me the option of a total hip replacement and a random comment from a friend of a friend Mentioning something about an alternative to that got me researching! I came across your website and it is so incredibly thorough and helpful I can’t begin to thank you enough! You have put so much time and effort into getting this message out and it is so obvious through the amazing amount of helpful info on surface hippies!!! I am now 1 week out from resurfacing with Dr Gross and I mentioned how helpful I found your website when I began my research!! I wish this option was more widely discussed by traditional ortho docs❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for all you have done to help us make educated decisions with all of the options available!!

I remember when I found this site shortly before my resurfacing,  It was soooo nice to have a place to read stories and realize that I wasn't alone with that pain and nervousness about next steps.  I check back frequently to see if I can offer advice or help to anyone because I remember how much it put me at ease.

Thanks Pat! I don't think you realize how much this information helps others.  I agree with everything Amy said and then some!!
