Hip Replacement

Justin Blasich

I was injured at work, which caused my right hip to hyperextend and significantly worsen my arthritis. Because this was a Workers’ Compensation case, I was told the approval process for surgery could take as long as two years. Dr. Lee’s team did everything within their power to expedite the process, and thanks to their diligence and advocacy, I was in the operating room for my right hip replacement within just three months.

From the moment I walked into Dr. Gwo‑Chin Lee’s office in Fresh Meadows, Queens, through my surgery and recovery, it has been nothing but a positive experience working with him and his team. Their professionalism, efficiency, and genuine care made a challenging situation far easier, and I am extremely grateful for the outcome.
