Rachael N's Story

Comments: Before I went to see Dr Bharam, I had prolonged having surgery and dealt with the pain on my hip for years. I wasn't sold on the surgery but as Time went on and the pain became so increasingly debilitating I knew something had to be done. I was no longer able to walk short distances, I still worked out but the pain was agonizing. My occupation as a school bus driver was taking its toll on my hip. Driving a large school bus, with air brakes and sitting for long periods of time made me think I wouldn't be able to perform my job at all. Dr Bharam walked me thru the entire process and assured me that I would be able to do all the things I love and I will be well again. Quite honestly, I was terrified. Even after my surgery physical therapy, which is a must, was very intense. After I two months of therapy I was able to return to work, however I did continue physical therapy, with lots of doubt at first, for six months. Little by little I noticed my progress and for the first time in years felt optimistic. June 26, 2017, a few days shy of my one year anniversary I walked into Dr Bharams office excited to show him my progress. I've been working out three days a week, I'm able to walk long distances without the excruciating pain and I couldn't be happier. A year ago I felt hopeless, afraid and out of touch. Today, I'm happy to report that my hip arthroscopy is a success, I'm so grateful to Dr Bharam for all of his encouragement and for making me whole again. Right now I'm enjoying a month and a half, well deserved, vacation on the beaches of Puerto Rico . My last visit here I was unable to enjoy my morning walks on the beach. The pain was terrible, now every morning my husband and I take our long walks on the beach, pain free and carefree. My deepest appreciation to Dr Bharam and his wonderful staff.
