Lots of folks here have mentioned their surgeon. I was fortunate to have Dr. Lombardi implant by BHR. He was assisted by his able physician's assistant, Oliver. The surgery was performed at Morristown Hospital in Morristown, New Jersey. I have been impressed with all of the components of my health care starting with the surgery, and the outstanding care I received in the hospital.
I am on the road to recovery and this Tuesday, I will celebrate my 4 week anniversary. I still am having some minor swelling issues and the hip remains sore. I still use the cane because without it, I exhibit a limp. Hopefully I will be done with the cane within the next two weeks.
I know that in the NY/NJ/Conn. area the perception is that you need to go to New York City for joint replacements. I disagree and my experience proves that. So.....if anyone lives in North Jersey, and is considering a THR or BHR, do not underestimate the large number of outstanding surgeons available at Morristown Hospital including Dr. Paul Lombardi.
