I'm 10 weeks post-op. I enjoyed the article that was written about me and how Dr. Gross became my doctor as well as a bit about "resurfacings." I'm trying to educate! The picture was pre-surgery, so I will look forward to getting another photo when I start to work my way back a year after surgery! In the meantime, I'm happy to walk pain-free!
In 2010 and early 2011 my arthritic right hip finally forced me to give up or cut back on a lot of the activities I loved–competing in triathlons with my son, winter hiking on snowshoes, and barefoot water skiing.
I've had both of my hips resurfaced by Dr. Gross, one in 2008 and the other in 2013. Post surgery, I've been able to return to a very active lifestyle. During the week, I work for an investment management firm. But most weekends find me whitewater kayaking in the mountains of North Georgia or Western North Carolina. This photo is from the Cheoah River in Robbinsville, NC.
Cheers,
T.I.
Bilateral Biomet Uncemented Hip Resurfacing
2008 / 2013
I have just been for my one year check up on my bilateral hip resurfacing and everything looks perfect. I had reached the point where I had constant pain and stiffness in both hips that was affecting every aspect of my working and private life. I am a dressage instructor so having functioning hips is crucial.
Not sure how many 64-year-old gals you have to show off Dr. Gross's work and both of your superb care. There are two NC state medals–one for a winning softball senior games team (55-60) and the other for winning the NC racquetball in my age group (60-64.)
If you are interested in determining if you are a candidate for surgery, please mail your completed new patient forms to the office and include a digital x-ray. Dr. Gross will call you back to discuss your options.
If you are interested in a consultation with Dr. Browning, please call ext. 6210 or email. Telehealth visits are available upon request for out-of-state patients.
