OIO and Dr. Patterson are amazing. The end of June Dr. Patterson gave me a new hip. The recovery has been smooth and after 7 weeks I can walk with no cane for the most part. The pain that I had is gone and I am walking straighter than I have in years. I can drive again and tonight I could bend and pull some of the many weeds that have taken over my flower beds. I am so happy to have my right hip done and if I ever need my left done, Dr. Patterson will be my surgeon. He is the best and all his staff all work well together. I thank them all.Patient Submitted Review

The most efficient, effective, well organized team and event one could ask for. I've been through many medical events recently and this one never gave me any concern. The attention and expertise from the pre--op and post-op and hospital associates was impeccable. Physical Therapy Dream Team. I live 900 miles away from Lima, yet had to return, as this was my second hip replacement (yes, Dr P and most of the Same team!!!), and there was no question of where to have it done. Should anything else need surgery, this is where I'll return. Thank you Dr. Patterson and his Team!Patient Submitted Review
