I have had both hips replaced by Dr. Locker one out patient at the hospital, and the other done at the surgery center. Both surgeries were life changing. But the second one done at the surgery center was a much better experience; not to mention much more affordable. The staff were awesome; surgery went well, and I was home by lunch! I highly recommend the Orthopedic Surgery Center.

Racket Sports May Make Knee Arthritis Worse
According to a new study, sports like tennis and racquetball could cause knee joints to degenerate faster in overweight people with arthritis.
I had 2 hip replacement surgeries here by Dr. Joseph Locker. The staff was awesome, and the anesthesiologist, Dr. Larson was fantastic. Everyone answered all my questions, assuaged my fears, and I felt they genuinely cared about me as a person as well as a patient. I cannot say enough positive things about this group. Thank you all so much!
