Comments: I was in severe hip pain and was looking for an Orthopedic surgeon and since I was an RN, I was being very selective. Fortunately I came across an article written by Dr. Dinh regarding the minimally invasive anterior approach to hip replacement and I made an appointment with him. I met a wonderfully warm, friendly, concerned person that immediately put me at ease and answered all my questions. After the surgery I realized how skilled he is. I was amazed that I was able to walk only a few hours after the surgery and the deep internal pain I was living with was gone. Yes, there was some post surgical pain that as the days went by became less. It has been 3 months now, and there is no pain whatsoever and my hip moves and feels like a natural part of me. It's amazing. If you are looking for a top notch surgeon, I highly recommend Dr. Nam Dinh. The bonus is, you will also get a really caring and compassionate person with a great bedside manner.
