I knew that I needed a hip replacement. I had been told that before I met Dr. Eric Johnson. What I did not know for sure was that one of my legs was shorter than the other. Dr. Johnson confirmed it was and said that he would lengthen my leg when I had the hip replacement. A year after a complete hip replacement, I have no pain anywhere. I can walk a 5K faster than I have done in years. I feel young again even though I am turning 75 in April. Thank U Dr. Johnson!
