Hip Replacement

Patient image of: Joan Castagnone

I know that Dr. Gausden and her team have many patients, but I honestly felt like I was the only one. Everyone was forthcoming and responded quickly to my questions and concerns. Dr. Gausden, Kayla, and Samantha eased me through my surgery from beginning to end.

Three weeks after my hip replacement, I realized that, for the first time in years, I was completely out of pain. Six weeks later that's still the case.

Thank you, Team Gausden. You are forever on my prayers of gratitude list.
