Hi Sherry

Sorry no one has more information for you about Dr. Raterman.  Hopefully, you will share what you learn with us.  That will help the next FL possible surface hippy.

Good Luck.

Pat

Sherry, I am scheduled to have a BHR by Dr. Raterman on Oct. 21st. I will let you know how it goes on this forum. I'm nervous yet anxious. He seems to be one of the most experienced in FL.

Yes, please let me know how your doing. I have some questions re: hospital, etc.  He has done over 500 and from what I've heard he is very good. I had Dr Kennedy in Sarrasota for my 1st resurf and he was wonderful but retired from surgery. Dr R was just starting to do them in 6-06. I'm confident w/him being my surgeon for my rt hip.

I wish you the best. Only 12 days to go for you.  8)
