Professional Competent and Caring, Dr Hood and his medical Team gave me a new hip , a far more mobile life back, at 76. Further, he sealed the outer part of the incision with an excellent glue. No pain or blood or extra hospital trip to extract staples. The sutures are inside.
Subsequent recovery pain was relatively minimal.
Very grateful.

Dr Hood is amazing. Very nice and answered all questions, and consernes I had all my medications including my pain meds ( very important) prior to my surgery. The day of surgery went very smooth. Dr Hood and his staff put my mind at ease about everything that was about to happen. They sent me home with an ice machine, and had all my future appointments set. I'm half way through my recovery, and all is good. I will definitely be using him when I'm ready to get the other knee done. I 100% recommend Dr Hood for your knee surgery.
