Don't wait to see him, run, walk, or crawl if you have to. You will be up in no time. Mobility is his goal. Professional, courteous, and a good listener.

I had a hip replacement in July and then I broke my other hip 3 months later. Dr Colanese did both surgeries and did an excellent job. I would highly recommend him!
