Dr. Broome’s Take On A Patient Looking For A Second Opinion

Dr. Broome believes a patient needs to know the right questions to ask during a consultation, and sometimes those don't really come to mind until you walk out of the door of a doctor’s office. This is one of the reasons why Dr. Broome encourages second opinions.

Dr. Broome DIVES INTO: TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENTS

In a total hip replacement, we remove the ball to insert metal and plastic to make up for bone and cartilage loss. These parts are artificial, but serve the same function as our own. There are no nerves in the metal or plastic so the pain associated with the rubbing of ‘bone on bone’ in the joint is relieved.
