Zoe R's Story

Comments: One word: Incredible. For the people scrolling through reviews looking for a quick tip, take all your doubts and worries about your hip and put them into Dr. Bharam’s knowledgeable (and somewhat miracle-working) hands. As a college student with four years of non-stop competitive volleyball on my jacket, I was bound to have some hip problems. What I was not prepared for was how many doctors and treatments I would have to see and go through to get anywhere close to an answer on the conundrum that was causing me so much pain in my hip and groin area. I believe I had seen close to five doctors over the course of years, all who left me with nothing but more mysteries. Within 30 minutes of walking into Dr. Bharam’s office, he diagnosed me with a labral tear and hip impingement. 30 MINUTES. Just to hear a diagnosis almost brought me to tears and without wasting any time, he began discussing our options. Yes, I say “our”, because when you’re his patient, he makes you feel as if you’re a team and in this together; something extremely reassuring when you’re looking at surgery. As I mentioned earlier, I’m a college student and I just so happen to go to university in Switzerland. This makes scheduling and appointments when I am back for breaks nothing less of a pain in the neck (or pain in the hip). I’ve never seen a doctor be so accommodating to scheduling as Dr. Bharam. He worked with me through the whole process and made sure I was able to make all the required visits and imaging. He makes that extra effort that busy people (especially students) need to make living a pain-free life possible. I had surgery to repair my labral tear and fix my hip impingement about six weeks ago and I can honestly say that I’m already feeling about 50% better than I was before surgery. AT SIX WEEKS. There was more damaged than he had expected when he went in and he took care of all of it seamlessly. Don’t make the same mistakes I did with my array of hip specialists, go to Dr. Bharam and watch your years of pain disappear. You won’t regret it, I know I don’t.
