As a retired physical therapist, I found myself on the other side of a walker: needing a total hip replacement. Having just moved to Arizona I did not have professional or personal knowledge of orthopedists in this area. I surfed the internet for orthopedists specializing in THR by anterior approach. Dr. Russo’s website answered all my preliminary concerns/questions especially in regards to pain management (his use of ice and anti-inflammatories) and proper fitting of the prosthesis. I underwent THR mid Sept 2018 and at my 2 week post-op visit was 4 weeks ahead of schedule!!! I did not require any narcotics as I had no pain. I utilized an ice machine and Celebrex. I couldn’t be more pleased with my outcome and the care I received from Dr. Russo and his staff. The Pulse App was a wonderful post-op tool.
