Mina...

Dr. Schmalzried is part of the Joint Replacement Institute crew in

LA. He works with Dr. Amstutz. Stay with the message board, a

number of hippies have had their repairs done by Dr. S...and speak

highly of him.

Aloha Mina,

I'm a patient of Dr. Schmalzried, C+ 1/21/02, and am happy to share

any feedback that may help you. Do you have specifics or just a

general set of comments regarding my experiences w/ Dr. S??? Advise.

On short order, he is skilled, experienced, competent, and young

enough so that I am confident he will be around to follow me into my

future should I need his services/expertise as time passes.

I was extremely apprehensive about the whole process. I've spent

the better part of my life as a surfer...the ocean wave type!...and

the prospect of losing that in my life was an enormous burden.

Resurfacing was an option that offered many possibilities that I

felt exceeded a THR and I choose JRI due to proximity to Hawaii,

reputation, and experience w/ resurfacing. I viewed Dr. Amstutz as

an icon for this procedure and choose his younger protoge. His (Dr.

Schmalzried) record/resume speaks for itself, and his manners and

demeanor spread confidence, care, knowledge, and experience.

On first meeting I can honestly say that his presence,

attentiveness, ability to address my questions etc...completely

dispelled any stress and apprehension I carried forth. I felt

confident that my decision was a good one and maintain that

sentiment more than two years later.

I hope one guy's opinion assists you in your decision. Best to you.

Sincerely,

Dan Schulte

Hi Mina

I had both hips resurfed by Dr. S nearly 3-years ago. They are

functioning perfectly and I recovered well from a very difficult

surgery. Dan from Hawaii said it well, Dr. S is a great dos who

strives to be the very best. Also, he is not in love with himself

like some top docs are. You just have to meet the guy and judge for

yourself.
