Now, I can sit on the floor and play board games with my grandchildren. I can run around their playroom and pretend to play soccer. I can climb the slide on the jungle gym at the park. Finally, I can be called "The Greatest Nani" in the world!
All thanks to Dr. Geoffrey Westrich.
For years, I had been in denial about the pain in my right hip. Pain was my status quo. Friends and family would notice I was limping, but that was "normal" for me. Then I consulted with Dr. Westrich, who read my X-ray and saw immediately the source of my pain: osteoarthritis. He simply said, "Cartilage does not grow back," and everything became clear to me.
Dr. Westrich replaced my right hip, and from my seamless and perfect recovery post-op, I am absolutely sure that Dr. Westrich's technical skill as a surgeon is impeccable. He gave me the gift of a new pain-free "normal."
The care that I received from his team and especially from his Practice Manager Denise Palacios was incomparable. They always made me feel confident and assured, and they treated me as a whole human being and family, not as a patient and body part.
Such medical and emotional care is a treasure that I cherish every day. I am grateful beyond words to Dr. Westrich and to Denise.
