My hip pain gradually worsened over the years. I went from walking every day to not doing much of anything due to the pain. Once I finally got up the nerve to see Dr. Ellis, the x-ray showed no cartilage in my left hip. Dr. Ellis suggested an anterior hip replacement. Everyone involved at the surgery center was very professional and personable. I limped into the surgery center at 5:30 a.m., my surgery was scheduled for 7:00 a.m. As I was wheeled into surgery the clock showed 7:02 p.m. I was awake in recovery by 9:40 a.m. The nurse had me walking the hallway and up and down stairs about 1:30 p.m. Then I walked out to the car at 2:00 p.m. It is like a miracle to walk with no pain. Don't let fear keep you from having this surgery. There are a few weeks of recovery-taking it easy and using the walker and then a cane. After that you are on your way to live your life! Thank you Dr. Ellis and all the people at Orthopedic ONE!!
I had seen two surgeons prior to Dr. Ellis. I hadn't felt comfortable with either one. My physical therapist recommended that I have a consult with Dr. Ellis, as he had seen his work through other patients.
The Dublin office was able to get me in right away. Dr. Ellis was so kind and explained everything and the procedure he described was less invasive. I had my first hip replacement (the worse hip) in April and upon waking in recovery, I noticed the difference. The second surgery was in June. Dr. Ellis saved my life. I had become so depressed from my pain. These surgeries took that pain away. God works in amazing ways. He led me to Dr. Ellis.
I recommend him to everyone, including my mother, who traveled three hours to see him. Before surgery I was miserable. I couldn't walk. I couldn't sleep. He saved me. Thank you Dr. Ellis for being amazing!
