Hip Replacement!!Need referrals/advice

Go and see Dr. Lastra. He lined up my hubby's hip replacement surgeon and the surgery went very well. Do NOT have a spinal epidural anaesthetic unless you want him to hear the whole operation...sawing, hammering etc.
It did not cost that much money I can assure you...but it was done in a small hospital not one of the big fancy ones.

Dr. Lastra's office is located on Constitucion #75A. Office number is 766-1740 and his cell number is 045-333-676-3515
He was also very good with pain meds up and until the time the hip was replaced. Tell him what kind of procedure you are looking for with regards to the hip and that you want someone with lots of experience. I'm sure he'll point you in the right direction...at least you'll have a second opinion.

Just wanted to add, that the difference in hip replacements in twenty years is amazing. Hubby had the right one done in '92...in the hospital for seven days, excruciating pain, eighteen inch scar and long rehab...in Canada. The left one was was done in September of 2011 in Guadalajara...overnight in the hospital, easy on the pain, eight inch scar and relatively easy rehab. I believe that they no long cut through the muscles but part them to get in there...sure makes a difference in recovery time.

I agree...even a third or a fourth opinion...until the person is comfortable and confident with the surgeon.
