I was unable to walk normally due to extreme pain in my hip. I went to another doctor who told me I had hip dysplasia and needed a new hip, but his attitude left a lot to be desired. My husband had had his knee replaced by Dr. Petraco and had a great experience, so I went to him. Dr. Petraco told me the same thing but much more nicely, so I decided to go with him, and am I glad I did. After surgery I can walk normally and have resumed all the activities I couldn't do before. Wonderful doctor!
