Wellington, FL

Hip Replacement Surgery

In just four and a half weeks, I was back to my normal routine, walking comfortably and returning to the gym.

My experience at HSS Florida was outstanding from beginning to end. I underwent an anterior right hip replacement performed by Dr. Spencer Summers, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the exceptional care I received.

Dr. Summers is an outstanding surgeon. He is knowledgeable, compassionate, and took the time to answer all of my questions, making me feel confident and comfortable throughout every step of the process.

The anesthesiology team was wonderful, and the nurses and staff at HSS Florida in West Palm Beach were truly amazing. Everyone was kind, professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in my comfort and recovery. The entire experience was seamless, efficient, and exceptionally well organized.

The best part has been my recovery, which exceeded all of my expectations. In just four and a half weeks, I was back to my normal routine, walking comfortably and returning to the gym.

I wholeheartedly recommend HSS Florida, Dr. Spencer Summers, and the entire care team. Their expertise, compassion, and dedication turned what could have been a stressful experience into an incredibly positive one. I am deeply grateful for the outstanding care and support I received throughout my journey.
