Kolettis George T MD

Was seeing Dr. Kolettis forhip and knee pain. He determined I needed a hip replacement. After looking on the net for information on hip replacements, I discovered a different surgical technique, the anterior approach. I asked Dr. Kolettis about this approach and he informed me it was a ‘bad’ technique and did not recommend it. I asked him if he could give me more information directing me to this information and he could not provide me with a website or any inofrmation telling me this different technique was ‘bad’. I was disappointed that he could not just tell me I need to decide for myself where to go for my surgery. I ended up in Chicago with Dr. David Smith. He performed the anterior approach hip replacement and the recovery time was less than the traditional approach. The best part is that there was no cutting of any muscles, and NO restrictions after surgery. I could fully bend to tie shoelaces. AMAZING results, but not from Dr. Kolettis.
