Newton Newton Wellesley Orthopedics Physical Therapy

I may appreciate the staff and treatment at Newton Wellesley Hospital so well because of the horrible treatment at the hands of my PCP. He sent me to at PRO SPORTS in Cambridge. I was referred to a doctor named Miegel which might as well have been Mengele. He ordered a deep tissue cortisone shot that are supposed to last for six months. When I came back two weeks later as if I had never gotten the shot at all, I told him and he simply said «well, your not getting another shot so you may as well take two Advil a day and come back when your 50,» I was too taken aback to say anything.
So my dad and a number of people mentioned Newton Wellesley. From the moment I walked in the door I felt like their number one priority. Dr Laurie Katz was my first Doc who asked me what was up, I told her severe arthritis. She kind of said «okay» with some apropos sarcasm. She came back with her X-​rays and turned ghost white «I thought you were kidding or got something from webMD, but this is bad. I haven’t seen arthritis this bad in a long time.
She immediately put me in touch with a surgeon in her group, Dr Hanmer. They decided to try another cortisone shot-​because these hips don’t last forever-​one more time being SO young for a hip. Well, 6 days later and the pain was back. The shot did work for few days and I psyched, going up stairs without a railing or run out into the street to get a child out of danger but alas, 6 days instead months, they scheduled my surgery a moth later.
It was a four hour procedure, I was out the WHOLE time. I don’t want to get people’s hopes up, and part of it is because I’m 34, the surgery was Wed June 3, they had me on a walker the morning of Thurs June 4^th. Later that day, they gave me crutches to walk with, at the end of the walk she had me going up and down stairs! I was out of their the next morning. A lot of follow up visits, but I feel great and would recommend it to Newton Wellesley orthopedics to anyone: from beside manner; to food. Just an all around well oiled machine, good luck to you if need surgery, but at Newton Wellesley you couldn’t be in better hand
