Dr. Tarantino has been most helpful helping me to make decisions on what route to take with my hip. He has sent me to PT, given me cortisone shots and has allowed me to make the decision each time. Those options no longer apply, it is time for surgery. I am sad he will not be doing the surgery but I know I will be in capable hands with which ever surgeon I go to.
