“To say that I am satisfied with the result of my total hip replacement is a gross understatement. Dr. Bhagia was my second surgical opinion, and now my forever first choice.
Dr. Bhagia is endowed with God’s gift of healing hands and heart. The level of competency, professionalism and compassion extend from the front office, to X-rays, Dr. Bhagia, pre-op coordination, and everyone along the way.
Rarely, and I mean RARELY, has any medical professional understood what Ehlers-Danlos type 3 Hypermobility Syndrome is... but Dr. Bhagia did! Multiple rotations, subluxations and dislocations describe each and every joint in my body. Yes, it’s quite painful, and from birth.
Trust is not easily gained with my chronically painful, lifelong, hereditary condition and would be restrictive active life; I tend to push the boundaries by having run a few half and one full marathon, mountain trail running, bike riding, countless hours of tennis playing on three to five teams in a given season and clocking fifteen to twenty hours of exercise easily in a given week. Four months ago I had to cease all physical activities and sports. Painful in many ways.
After viewing my X-rays, Dr. Bhagia immediately saw the emergent plan of action. I began to cry. I even asked to hug him! I felt more genuine empathy from him than I did from my previous orthopedic surgeon of over two years who told me hip surgery was more of a want versus need, and that I could technically live the rest of my life in a wheel chair (semantics).
Three days later, I had surgery. My healing and recovery two weeks post-op are exponentially improving each and every day. According to my current home physical therapist, I am a rare and welcomed patient diligently following regimented PT exercises and achieving rapid results. Yes, I’m young (if you consider fifty years old, young). Yes, I’m (fortunately) healthy and yes, I’m in good shape. No, age is not relevant to my total hip replacement surgery. Hereditary hypermobility coupled with early onset osteoarthritis at nineteen years old are the culprits.
Thank you, Dr. Bhagia! Thank you ARC staff! You have given me a miracle hip that will afford me the quality of (an active) life unimaginable! I will care for and treasure my new hip forever.
On a pain level of 1-10, I am at a ZERO! Never, and I repeat NEVER, have I ever gone one day without pain. One joint down, a few more to go, haha.”
Forever Grateful,
