“I’d been hurting in my right hip for a couple of years and despite therapy it was not getting better. A shot didn’t help. I wasn’t able to ride my horse which is my exercise and my sanity. So it was time for hip replacement. The first couple of weeks after the surgery were hard but then things started to improve and I got back on my horse almost two months to the day after my new hip. Were it not for Coronavirus, I’d be happily riding today. Big thanks to Dr. Ritesh Shah and his staff! You were all fantastic!” – Sharon B.
