I was in a lot of pain during the year leading up to my hip replacement surgery. At the relatively young age of 53 osteoarthritis had left me with a hip that had very little of the cushioning cartilage left and felt more like a bone-on-bone connection. Everyday tasks like walking the dog or grocery shopping became unbearably painful. So I was looking forward to this surgery! Dr. Mair and the Excel team did a great job making the experience as pleasant as possible. From the pre-surgical workshop to the morning I heading home the care was exceptional. I also made use of the Physical therapy that was available at the clinic in Waconia. This was an important part of my recovery as my leg muscles had atrophied during the previous year. I highly recommend Dr. Mair and his care team.
