What Our Patients Are Saying

★★★★★

“Dr. Gough did a full hip replacement for me. Everything was amazing from beginning to a full recovery after 8 physical therapy sessions. The method he uses allowed me to walk unaided in just a day or two without restrictions. My number one desire was a surgeon who was experienced, confident, and capable of handling anything. Dr. Gough has my complete trust.”

★★★★★

“I had a minimally invasive hip replacement. Night and day! I had absolutely no pain. I was walking almost as soon as my meds wore off. I can’t wait to have him do the other hip. He was very nice, personable, honest, and knowledgeable about everything from what he was going to do to what I was going to expect. THANK YOU DR GOUGH!!”

★★★★★

“I had a total hip replacement performed by Dr. Gough. I was walking the same day, riding an exercise bike and walking steps within a few days, and golfing within 3 weeks. I had very little pain and I am very happy with my outcome.”

★★★★★

“I went to 2 doctors before using Dr. Gough for my hip replacement. I walked the hallways of the hospital within hours of my surgery, never took narcotics. I have 100% strength, which is great for my golf game. My other hip is ready for replacement — no doubt about where I am going!”

★★★★★

“I am absolutely thrilled with my new hips. It’s wonderful to have no pain and to be able to walk again. I live 4 hours away and traveled back and forth because I’m a registered nurse and I highly value a good surgeon. I did my homework before I saw him and decided that I wanted the Direct Superior approach done — and I’m happy I did. There is no restriction on positioning of the hip.”

★★★★★

“The doctor was very experienced and helpful in letting me know my honest options. The surgery was the best thing to happen for my pain. I am currently riding my horses again and completely pain free on that hip. I’m so grateful for the outcome.”
