Dr. Xu did a wonderful job with my total hip replacement. My scar is healing well. I'm walking better now, than I have in months. I appreciate that Dr. Xu ordered the special ice pack for me to use at home. That helped with the pain, and healing. I continue to do my home exercises as instructed. When I follow Dr. Xu's instructions, I have a good outcome, just as he said I would.

You couldn't ask for a kinder, knowledgeable doctor and team to be taking care of you! Dr. Xu, his PA, and his nurses have your best Interest In mind. They are all upbeat and encourage you to get in touch if you have any concerns.

Dr Xu has overseen my knee replacement and recovery for a year. He gave me good advice on how to manage minor pain without pills. This to me is a keen way of knowing a Dr truly cares. His approach to this healing patient is much appreciated; he told me when I was successful at my motility.

Dr. Xu is one of the best surgeons I've ever had. So far he performed bilateral hip replacement on me, so I am able to walk again. Now we are in the process of scheduling my knee replacement surgery.
