Patient Stories<\/h2>

In the Netherlands and Belgium combined, around 43,000 people per year get a hip replacement. We asked our patients to share their experiences about our clinic. Here are some of their statements.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>

Keep up the good work!!!<\/h5>\n

\u201cAll these beautiful stories, but an operation is quite a thing.

I was scared and my rhythm also was somewhat slower, but the team coached me very well. Every day one step forward. As a patient you\u2019re dependent and here they do what they can. They are very good! Thank you to my GP and physiotherapist, and also to my husband, the best \u201cbuddy\u201d of them all. Thank you also, Frank, and we hope you enjoy the music. Keep up the good work!!!\u201d<\/em>

Great<\/h5>\n

\u201cI\u2019m enjoying life again and don\u2019t have any problems about getting the other hip done. First the left and then in a little while the right. The clinic is great!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>

No pain<\/h5>\n

\u201cAlmost three weeks since the operation. No pain and I can do everything.

I\u2019m gently starting to do sport again. I love moving, keeping moving is my life. I\u2019m a happy person thanks to Frank and his team!\u201d<\/em>

Pleased<\/h5>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really pleased to have chosen Frank for my operation.

At the moment the medical care system in the Netherlands is really confusing and the insurance companies seem to have their own motives for making life difficult, but I\u2019m glad that I went through with it. I knew that Frank was a good doctor and I find it really brave that he\u2019s taken the step to do what he\u2019s doing. I love it. I can walk again!\u201d<\/em>

No kidding<\/h5>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not restricted any more. I do my exercises every day, cycle on the home trainers and go for walks.

When you say that you\u2019ve got a new hip, you always get horror stories about what went wrong for other people. Then I always say that the surgeon couldn\u2019t have done a proper job, I tell them that Frank was my doctor and therefore nothing could go wrong! It\u2019s only a pity that I can\u2019t climb trees anymore, doing pull-ups isn\u2019t what it used to be, but actually I never could do them in the first place! No kidding, everything is going so well. I hope for you all that the practise is flourishing as well as the patients are! Warm regards.\u201d<\/em>

Sitting cross-legged<\/h5>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s now been three months. The only thing that I can\u2019t do is to sit cross-legged, but I\u2019m practicing hard.

I can\u2019t thank you enough for this operation, if it had to be done then it had to be done by you, Frank! Lots of love, Ank.\u201d<\/em>

Trust<\/h5>\n

\u201cA very good experience. The day after the operation I was standing by my bed.

My wife couldn\u2019t believe her eyes. It is a bit crazy, the difference it makes if you don\u2019t cut through the muscles. You start to wonder why the operation isn\u2019t always done by this method. You also ask yourself why it is that not everybody chooses this method. To start with I was sceptical, but after my first meeting with Frank I believed in it. After the operation I was totally won over.\u201d<\/em>

A really good experience<\/h5>\n

\u201cA really good experience. I found it great to remain in charge, at least that\u2019s what I felt.

I recovered in no time. At first I was scared, but once I felt I could easily stand I gained courage. The idea of a buddy appealed to me. I find it a really good idea.\u201d<\/em>

Good recovery<\/h5>\n

\u201cI was satisfied with the way that the whole operation went.

The day after the operation I could already have gone home, but I stayed one more night in a hotel with my buddy and then drove home the following day. My rehabilitation is going really well. It\u2019s now almost a week since the operation and I\u2019m able to walk around the house with only one crutch. So I find the method you use a good one and my recovery is going very well.\u201d<\/em>
