I have had hip pain for 5 years. I had seen several doctors that told me they couldn't help me for one reason or another. I went from an independent working woman to having to have everything done for me. I went from a limp to a wheelchair. In all aspects I had given up, come to the realization this was what the rest of my life looked like. At the age 54 it wasn't a good thought. Then I was told to go to Dr Otto. I made an appointment thinking this is the last go round. Physically and mentally I could not take any more. I seen Dr. Otto in early April. He did X-rays and an exam and said the words I thought I'd never hear, " Yea I can help you if you want me to". I could do nothing but cry. He was the answer to my prayers. I had hip replacement surgery on April 30th, after 5 long years of pain he fixed it in a matter of 3 weeks. I cannot find good enough words to describe this doctor or this hospital. The closest I have come is the word PHENOMENAL, and I believe that falls short. Now 10 weeks post surgery I am pain free and I can walk. I have recommended Dr Otto to 3 different people and I will continue to tell about him to anyone that will listen or needs care. I could go in for days but I hope you understand what I am trying to say. If anyone needs any kind of joint replacement don't waste 5 years of your life like I did, make an appointment with Dr Otto. It will be the best call you have ever made. When I said PHENOMENAL that was for Dr Otto, his staff, and every person that I had contact with at Tricentennial Hospital from front desk to nurses, to dietary, to housekeeping. Thank you all for giving me my life back.
