Dr. Jimmy Chow. He is based in Phoenix and does his procedures out of an outpatient facility attached to the Abrazo Scottsdale Hospital. He used a mini midvastus method and did a plastic surgery close. He has a national/international practice. He replaced my left hip about three years ago and I also had no post surgery pain then.

I was so impressed with steve's story that I called Dr. Chow; I was going to drive across several state lines to see him. But Dr. Chow's office told me that he was no longer taking any insurance. I just did not find that that was a way that I could go financially. Maybe the office told me incorrect information or maybe this will change; I hope so.
Thank you Steve for helping us and keeping us up to date.
It is very difficult to compare doctors and the types of surgeries which they do. If you call the office and wait for days for a call back then the nurse just says "oh yes he does everything" and then you drive half a day, sit in an office for sometimes hours and the first thing out of the surgeon's mouth is "no, I can't do that, and no I don't know anyone who can handle that". Sigh
I have a nickel allergy and I am waiting now on a Panel 2 blood test to check for other allergies. I did find a surgeon to do the test, but he specializes in 3 d prothesis but doesn't do a nickel free 3d prothesis.
If anyone has a doctor which they could recommend I would so appreciate the information.
