Hip Replacement

Linda Mellone

In 2018, I was suffering with knee pain in my right knee. I was unable to enjoy walking and playing tennis. Dr. DiFelice did a total knee replacement and before long I was back to walking on the boardwalk and playing tennis again. Then in 2019 I was experiencing pain in my left knee. Again, Dr. DiFelice performed a total knee replacement and in a few short months I was back to doing all of my favorite things.

Fast forward to 2021, I started experiencing right hip pain. I saw Dr. DiFelice and we discussed shots and PT, which lasted until 2024 when the pain was unbearable. From there, I saw Dr. DiFelice again and he performed a total hip replacement. He has performed 3 joint replacement surgeries on me and he was the obvious choice. He is an amazing, talented, and caring surgeon. Recovery is so easy and the outcome never disappoints. He continues to deliver amazing results and I am so grateful and thankful to have him as my surgeon. Thank you, Dr. DiFelice, for always delivering amazing results and getting me Back in the Game.
