Private Hip Surgery
Without The Wait!

Hello Christian,

I am just completing my 5th week since my hip replacement surgery. I am progressing well; I walk without a limp, use my cane sparingly, and walk over 3 km per day with little pain. I am very appreciative of the surgeon’s work and that of his team. I am expecting to put my used cane on E-Bay for sale in about 1 month and to be driving in 2 weeks..

I want to say thank you to you for your efforts in helping put things together for me. Take care and hopefully you will have time to enjoy the holidays.

Thanks again,

Happy New Year and I hope you all had a nice Christmas!

I wanted to send a quick message to thank you and update you on dad’s progress. In a nutshell, he is doing amazing. Back to where he was before the hip pain started, and fully enjoying his life again. The biggest change that we see is emotionally. As much as his physical movement has improved, his emotional state is through the roof. He is back to regular outings with his friends, and enjoying family get togethers and outings. He is enjoying being able to jump in his car again and toodle around on his errands, not having to rely on anyone. He has regained so much of his freedom.

I have to admit that I was skeptical when you said he would be walking the day of surgery, much less that he would return home with only the use of a cane. But sure enough, he was up taking some steps the first day of surgery, and was walking with a cane when I left him. True to your words, dad was thoroughly enjoying his regained mobility the last week of his stay, and him and my brother took full advantage by doing some little day trips and seeing some sights.

When we got back, I took my son and girlfriend out to dinner and when dad (their grandpa) walked in, they both had tears in their eyes. My son, who is 27, has always known his grandpa to be a young-at-heart, up for anything guy and it was hard on him (and my nephews) to see their once lively grandpa using a walker to get around and literally stuck at home for so long.

So again, thank you. From the bottom of my heart. Not only do you have outstanding surgeons, but you are also compassionate, upfront and a wonderful soul to offer your services to those in need.

“Thank You” seems totally inadequate to express how grateful I am for the strength, motion and comfort I now enjoy following right total hip arthroplasty using Mako robotic guidance. I am a 71 year old grandmother who was on the brink of missing important events in my life and the lives of my children and grandchildren.

Eight years ago, shortly after becoming a widow, I began walking with Nordic hiking sticks. This kept me going but slowed me down especially on cherished trips to Disneyland and Disney World. In December 2020, as a result of COVID, I had to spend the winter in Alberta rather than my snowbird home in Arizona. I slipped on some ice and broke my right ankle (a plate and 9 screws to repair). I developed a marked limp and poor posture when walking, usually causing backache. In October 2022, my primary care doctor took xrays prior to my attending my grandson’s wedding in Houston. The xrays revealed bone on bone issues. My name was put on a 9 to 12 month waiting list but I realized another winter in Alberta would require me moving and unable to drive. My daughter researched Timely Medical Alternatives, who took all the struggle out of locating a great surgeon. By early April, I had a pre-op consult and surgery booked for May 16, 2023. The procedure: right total hip arthroplasty using Mako robotic guidance has remedied the 7 to 8 mm discrepancy in leg length (no more limping), and any pain or discomfort. As a result, I am home in Canada, walking with a steady, balanced gait. I currently use a walker or cane but expect unassisted strolls in the next few weeks.

I am so grateful to you and your staff for helping me recover to the point of being a healthy, mobile, optimistic mother and grandmother. You and your staff have made a huge difference in my retirement years and my ability to enjoy and participate in life.

Anybody who is skeptical about the information provided by Timely Medical is understandable here’s our experience. I live in Saskatchewan and was in need of 2 hip replacements according to doctors here so they put me on a 2-3 year waiting list I was off work on insurance, I couldn’t imagine being off work for 3 years waiting probably would of had to sell our house. My wife stumbled across Timely Medical so we contacted them, spoke with Christian and couldn’t believe what he was telling us about how quick I could have surgery. Long story short first spoke with Christian on November 25th, had surgery December 28th and was back home January 5 walking unaided.

The care and compassion from Christian, Dr Kassman to Scott the physio therapist who came to the hotel, the rest of Dr Kassman’s staff at his office. Special thanks to Ellie our driver who made our experience worry free. Oh and the last thing was I only had my left done Dr Kassman said my right hip should be good for 5-7 years yet. I highly recommend Timely Medical very easy to deal with and everything Christian said that would happen did happen. Kindest regards to you all,

Hi Christian,

I’m doing great – I used a cane for maybe a week around the house, then another week outside due to there being snow and ice at times on sidewalks. I still have a little tightness when I walk up stairs or climb hills below my house…yes I’m doing hills, but am going about it slowly, I promise…I started incorporating hills into my walks a week ago, have to watch my footing, a little tricky with the compacted snow and some ice. Very little to no pain, two very small scars to share with those I hold close 🙂

I wish there was more to say other than thank you for all you did for me. I also am so thankful for the surgeon and the other professionals who assisted with my surgery and recovery. The staff at the hospital…everyone was so nice, I always felt cared for. I have had three calls from them since I returned home, asking how I am doing…It was a holiday for me, it really was…I am so happy to have made the decision to have a look at a private hip replacement here and found you and Timely Medical.

Please share this email with the surgeon, and anyone else you know who was involved in my time there.
