Right BHR 2009 Dr. Klug

I had surgery on November 10, 2009. I am 4+ weeks post-BHR surgery on my
right hip. Dr. Raphael Klug of Kaiser Roseville CA was my surgeon.

I’m a 59-year old post-menopausal woman. Previous to my year of increasing
hip pain and surgery, I was an active stone sculptor. Exercise for me
consisted of water aerobics and walking. I had been experiencing unusual
thigh pain. It was as if my muscles just gave out. I could barely walk. My
general practitioner referred me to a sports doctor. The sports doc
immediately steered me to an orthopedic surgeon in San Rafael who only did
lateral total hip replacements. I got on his 3-month waiting list because I
thought this was my only option. Then, I began to research.

I attended a lecture sponsored by Queen of the Valley Hospital in Napa at
which two orthopedic surgeons …

I just wanted to contribute my info also regarding my surgery with Dr. Klug (Roseville California, just outside of Sacramento California). He performed a resurfacing on my right hip 03Jan2007. Dr. Klug is my HERO! Not only do I feel that he is a top notch orthopedic surgeon but he is also just a downright good human being! He never lost his patience with me even though I tried to tax him with question after question about my hip problem. He treated me like I was his only patient. Some people will be intimidated with his stuttering problem.

 Dr. Klug will not do a resurfacing on everyone. He looks at each patient and will then make a recommendation as to what he feels is …

Bert Eisenstaedt Hip Resurfacing Dr. Klug 2006 2
I’m not sure I am contacting the right person, but my name is Bert Eisenstaedt. I had a resurfacing procedure, December 8, 2006, performed by Dr. Raphael Klug, located in Roseville, Ca and is a Kaiser orthopaedic surgeon.
I received a BHR. I was on a walker for a little less than a week, a cane for approximately a week and a half and then I was pretty much on my own in 2.5 to 3 weeks. I was back to work the first week in January. I learned about resurfacing from Alan Ray, who is a member of the same athletic club that I am. He convinced me to choose the resurfacing option due to my age and health.
The purpose of this e-mail is to let other potential patients know that I feel that Dr. Klug is an excellent physician and has tremendous operating skills.
