Judith "Jude", S.

Age: 65
Location: Santa Cruz, CA
Treatment: Hip Replacement Surgery
Outcome: "For many years I felt "crooked" -- my right shoulder lower than my left and my pelvis tipped on the right and distally.  My hip hurt to the point that I started limping, slightly at first and then more severely.  Riding my horse became painful.  Dr. Abidi did a right hip replacement and now, two weeks post op, I can walk straight, unaided by a crutch. My shoulders are level and my hips squared. I no longer feel "crooked"!  I am very grateful to Dr. Abidi and his staff for my miraculous new hip.  I can hardly wait to get on my horse and ride again. Thank you Dr. Abidi and all the staff at Santa Cruz Orthopaedic!"

Treatment: Total Hip Replacement
Outcome: "I am so happy with the procedure on my right hip! I have full range of motion and I'm back to walking on the beach! Thank you so very much, Dr. Abidi. I feel so blessed at 80 to have met you. You have surrounded yourself with an excellent staff and everyone has made me feel so welcome."

Age: 63
Occupation: Real Estate Office Manager
Location: Aptos, California
Treatment: ASI Hip Replacement
Outcome: "One of my major sources of exercise and enjoyment is working in my garden.  It keeps me busy throughout the spring and summer.  Over the course of a couple of years, I kept wondering why I was hurting so much working in the garden, or hiking with my husband, Mark.  I was experiencing pain in my right knee and hip that was just not going away.
