My review of The Steadman Clinic, Dr. Philippon specifically, and his entire team is overdue. I have wanted to express my gratitude for a long time but have struggled to figure out the words to express the depth of my gratitude for the care I received and the compassion and kindness of everyone that helped and treated me.

The clinic is well run with a seamless patient tracking system and onsite resources like the MRI providing immediate feedback for the physicians. The facilities are modern and it is clear technology is hard at work.

They focus on today's problems and solutions; tomorrow's possibilities via the incredible research they are doing; and they also seem to be eager to bring experts together in things like their hip symposium. Probably for most patients a lot of this is behind the scenes but this is a hotspot for progress.

My experience was long and took a commitment to presurgery strengthening, travel, and emotional/mental stamina. But someone was there the entire way. Mark especially stayed with me during questions about the prehab and the post surgical rehab. This is serious business and I am blessed to have been accepted as a patient and to have had the help I received.

Dr. Philippon especially is not only such an expert, he is also the kindest person you could ever meet. I feel he is especially unique in that he has an eye for today (and also has unmatched surgical expertise), but he also clearly has the creative intuitive piece that moves medicine ahead.

Dr. Philippon has and continues to see solutions that others had not seen, and then he brings it together with new surgical tools for the toolbox and just new ways of looking at old problems. As a person he is also just the nicest guy you will ever meet. The world of seeking help from experts can be hard on a patient and it can beat you down mentally. It isn't often someone at his level can be so approachable and kind.

Everyone from start to finish at this clinic is one of a kind. Not to sound overly dramatic but Dr. Philippon and his team saved my life. Thank you everyone.
