Hip Replacement

Michele Aretz

Four years ago, Dr. Boettner performed an anterior hip replacement on my left side. I was amazed at my quick recovery to a pain-free life. This past January, I started to experience severe pain in my right hip. A cortisone shot was tried but it did not relieve the pain. Dr. Boettner agreed to do the anterior hip replacement on my right side. Again, my recovery was quick with minimal discomfort. I credit the success of these surgeries to Dr. Boettner's skill and dedication to his patients. I also thank the staff at HSS for their dedication and caring as well. Thank you Dr. Boettner for getting me Back in the Game to enjoy the summer on the east end of Long Island, pain-free!
