I recently had a total hip replacement with Dr. Beringer. This was my second one. My first was with the VA as I am a veteran, and the pain after surgery was excruciating for about 3 months. My doctors at the VA told me to expect it and after being in pain for 4 years, and using walkers and wheelchairs to get around, I just wanted it done. Due to the Covid pendemic, the VA could not do my second surgery and so I was referred to the medical community. To my everlasting relief, I got referred to Dr. Beringer. He explained everything, and did an anterior entry as opposed to the posterior I had at the VA. To my surprise, my pain was COMPLETELY gone after surgery. I was walking with a walker 3 hours after I woke up. My post surgery care could not have been more personal and attentive. Its been 3 weeks since my surgery and I am walking without a cane inside my home for the first time in 4 years. I do use a cane outside because its still fairly early after surgery. But I can also drive again without any problems or pain and I have my independence back. I use an app called FORCE that Dr. Beringer and his PA, Liz, to keep in touch with his office and do my daily exercises and check-in. The whole staff has been super. I am a 3 time cancer survivor and a continuing cancer patient at the VA, and after 4 years of suffering with unbelievable pain, I am nearly back to my normal active life, and am making plans to go back to work in a few weeks. I can not express fully the joy I have to finally be pain free and have my normal quality of life back. Any surgery depends on the type of procedure certainly, but it also depends fully on the expertise of the surgeon. Dr. Beringer and his entire staff took care of me like I was family. I could not recommend him in good conscience if he had not done such an excellent job with my hip replacement. If I could give more stars I would. On a scale of 1 to 10 he is a 15+. Thanks to him and his team, I have my life back. I can't thank them enough.
