TOP important and interesting reviews from patients
- I had intermittent hip pain for two years and was misdiagnosed as low back pain at another clinic. It got really bad and I was having a lot of difficulty with simple tasks like walking. I went to AFOC and was referred to Dr. Prevost. He is a caring doctor who listens and cares. Before having surgery, he answered all of my questions and was very thorough in explaining the procedure I was going to have. I felt very comfortable going into surgery, feeling like I was in good hands. The surgery was very successful and I feel much better!
- My husband Kevin Saloka had a left hip replacement a week ago and is doing fine. The doctor and his staff are very friendly and professional. Very informative before and after surgery.
- I went back to see Dr Prevost to have him replace my other knee. It's been six months now and all the pain is gone. Still working on that range of motion...but two thumbs up. Every knee is different...and this one was a little more trouble. But now I've got a matched set. Thanks, Dr Prevost!
