Dear Dr. Bertram,
It has been a little over four months since my operation, and I want you to know that I am very happy with the outcome of my hip replacement procedure. I feel absolutely no pain and I am able to walk, bike, swim, golf and workout to my heart's content. My wife Laura and I just arrived back from an active vacation in the British Virgin Islands where I was able to participate in various side trips that included snorkeling, kayaking, and hiking. I am very impressed with the expertise, professionalism and high level of patient care that I received from everyone within your practice. My operation and recovery went very well thanks to your expertise and experience as a leader in your field of surgery and patient care. I also give the good folks at NGH high marks in in-patient care for the few days I was in the hospital. This operation has had a huge impact on the quality of my life, for I now feel physically "whole" again. It was not that long ago when I would awaken with the knowledge that I had a day of limited physical mobility and painful movement. What a difference the operation has had on my life! I now awake with eager anticipation; ready to enjoy the day God has granted me.
I appreciate all you have done for me and I highly recommend your services to anyone who is facing hip replacement surgery.
Sincerely,
