Sag Harbor Express reporter Jim Marquardt wrote about his experience having hip replacement surgery with HSS hip and knee surgeon Jose A. Rodriguez, MD.

"[My nurse] talked to Dr. Rodriguez, who said the new hip fit perfectly," he wrote.

"The physical therapist has me [walk] around the hallway on a walker, then takes me to a fake flight of stairs where I practice with a cane," Marquardt added.
