    Back In The Saddle After Hip Replacement

    Dr. Economedes and team are professional, personable, and thorough. They were available throughout the process of my hip replacement to answer any questions or concerns. My surgery and rehabilitation went smoothly thanks to them. I highly recommend Dr. Economedes to anyone considering a hip replacement. I'm back in the saddle thanks to him!

    Walking 18 Holes of Golf After Knee Replacement

    Severe arthritis had completely taken away my mobility. From my initial appointment with Dr. Economedes straight through to my total knee replacement, the process was seamless. His nurse, PA, and the rest of the team could not have been more helpful and kind. I finally have my active life back without the constant bone-on-bone pain. I'm already planning to have Dr. E do my other knee in the near future with zero hesitation.
