04/03/2025

Being 81 years old and having no connection with hospitals for over fifty years I had no Idea what to expect when I went in for my operation. Doctor Foote and his staff were extremely friendly and reassuring about me having a total hip replacement. I couldn’t be more pleased. There was not much pain after the operation, and after. A month of easy recuperation at home my new hip feels almost normal. Another few weeks and I’ll probably forget I even had an operation. Doctor Foote is an excellent surgeon.

04/03/2025

Doctor nurses and staff all very helpful

04/01/2025

They were, I’m sure, the best people I ever could have ever had to make my operation a total success.
