This is a first class human with exceptional first class skill. Still hard to believe 13 weeks ago, I was in pain that is hard to describe. I got a hip resurfacing on March 4th. I followed the protocol and was amazed at the precision of Dr. Ihekweazu’s skill and bedside manner. As of today 6-12-2024, I have rode 400 miles on my bicycle and even played basketball on the 10th. I have my life back.

THANK YOU SIR!!

Dr Ihekweazu and his team are great! They brought me back to normal active live. Now i can do running, walking, swimming, biking without pain. If you have even the slightest doubt whether hip replacement is worth it, don’t hesitate. Fondren orthopedic Group is the right place, Dr. Ihekweazu is the right surgeon. Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart for everything you have done for me.

Dr Ihekweazu has replaced both of my knees. I can do deep knee bends, which were difficult to do before the procedures. Mario sewed me up; the scaring is minimal. I highly recommend Dr Ihekweazu and his team for any knee surgeries.
