Garland Douglas E MD

Life saver! He is the best orthopedic doctor!

I found out when I was 48 that I had hip dysplasia, after years of hip pain I finally knew why. I knew I would need a hip replacement and I knew Dr. Garland would be the one I would go to.
I turned 50 in early June and had my left hip replaced on June 30^th. I was so nervous! The more I learned about how it was done, the more nervous I became.
During the hip class, I got light headed and nauseous. Just knowing how it was done really scared me.
Dr. Garland told me at my pre-​op appointment that I would immediately be out of pain… HE WAS RIGHT!
I woke up as they were bandaging me up, in the operating room, they wheeled me into recovery 1 ½ after they started and I was in ZERO pain.
I was walking with a walker at 2pm and I went home the next day.
I was walking unassisted on July 5^th. I still can’t bend more than 90 degrees, which is hard because I feel so good. I have managed to tape a razor to my grabber and shave my left leg, I use my grabber to put on pants and I am doing great.
After surgery I had some problems keeping food down, and sometimes the lower part of my incision feels like I’m being poked with a fork, but if that’s all I have to complain about, I’d say I’m doing pretty darn good.
Dr. Garland is Phenomenal!!! He is nice, and kind and he makes you feel so comfortable.
I would recommend Dr. Garland for hip replacement surgery!

Compassionate good doctor. Full recover avoid the spine doctors here thou. Seems like a different agenda. Dr garland the best
