We love it when our patients feel like a new person after surgery!

81-year-old, Oscar Pena was up and taking steps with a walker just days after orthopedic surgeon Samuel Stephenson, MD replaced his hip.

"Every nurse has been caring about my needs," said Pena. "It's always 'what else can we do for you and make you comfortable?' It's been very nice. Dr. Stephenson calmed me down and gave me assurances that everything would be good. I appreciate what everyone is doing for my care!"
