I was referred to Dr. Alton by another physician for a very complicated hip revision. The outcome of my previous hip replacement was unfortunately that the prosthetic lifted out of the bone and into my pelvis/abdomen. This initial surgery was a catastrophic failure that resulted in muscle loss and significant pain. Dr. Alton, along with his colleague, were able to revise these complications and, during surgery, accessed the area from the top and bottom of the joint region. The entire process was a very complicated procedure that required building up new bone and I am happy to say that I am now fully weight-bearing on that hip. The revision surgery was such a success that I have since had the other hip replaced as well with excellent results. I have nothing by high regard for Dr. Alton, who successfully revised a traumatic joint injury and who has a wealth of experience. I feel very fortunate to have been referred to Dr. Alton for his services.

Now this is a physician I’d recommend to my friends! I initially saw Dr. Alton at that end of November for a very painful left hip, saw him again yesterday after six sessions of P.T. for follow up and cortisone shot. I am very happy with how comfortable both he, and nurse Leah had me feeling during my appointment and especially liked how he looked me right in the eye as he was addressing me.
