Read Patrick’s Full Story Here

March 9, 2016

I’m a 51 year-old firefighter who is  3 weeks post op  from having my left hip resurfaced by Dr Raterman out of Tampa. 

Dr Raterman resurfaced my right hip 4 years ago and I’ve had great results ever since doing that  surgery. Walking without a cane now and riding my bike twice a day in the neighborhood. 

My physical therapist comes to the house  3 times a week.  I have one more week of home therapy then I’ll drive to a PT facility.  Have a 6 week appointment in April and hoping to get cleared  back to work at the Fire Department by week 8 or 9.  I was playing hockey twice a week before surgery and was told no hockey for 6 months.  I do plan on getting cleared for golf after my next appointment with Dr Raterman. 

Dr Raterman and his staff at Florida medical Clinic were awesome and I would highly recommend Dr Raterman for Hip Resurfacing.
