Joseph Locker's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Locker has performed three surgeries on me. One hip and two knee replacements. Excellent surgeon and excellent surgical hospital. No problems and recovery went very well.

Had my hip replaced by Dr. Locker using the anterior procedure and I could not be happier with the outcome. Dr. Locker is an excellent surgeon with an outstanding team. After 8 weeks I’m pretty much doing everything I was before, getting back into my routines while listening to my body as to not push to far. I would highly recommend Dr. Locker to anyone needing procedures that he provides.

Dr. Locker is fantastic! He diagnosed my issue and set forth a treatment plan, which didn’t involve any pills or drugs! I really liked that!

Doctor was thorough & co-workers were nice

Excellent practice and excellent doctor. Complete service under one roof. We will probably avoid surgery and do therapy and shots. That was good news!

I'm 69 years old and was having issues with both my hips for over 10 years. I did some research and found Dr Locker and met with him about 10 years ago. After looking at my X-rays, he told me that I would eventually need both hips replaced. I wasn't ready yet, so I continued playing golf and softball as well as other activities. In 2022, my left hip hurt so much that I could no longer play golf or softball. I had troubles walking more than a mile. I did tons of research on orthopedic doctors across the country using various techniques. I finally chose Dr Locker for anterior total hip replacement. I was in good enough shape to do the outpatient surgery. I went in at 11am and was home by 5pm the same day. I was able to walk, albeit gingerly, the next day without a cane or walker. I slowly started walking and within a couple weeks, I was walking a mile without any pain. It's been 10 weeks now and I can easily walk 5 miles without any pain. I just met with Dr Locker on 9/1/23 and he said that I could start playing golf again as long as I wasn't having any pain. Also, he said that I could return to playing travel softball later this fall. His warning to me was "to listen to my body", otherwise go back to all activities that I was doing before. He didn't mention my right hip, but if I need surgery on it, it will be with Dr Locker. My only regret was waiting an extra year to get the surgery done and returning to my normal activities!

Dr Locker is a brilliant surgeon! He also explains any issues I have had regarding my advanced yoga postures and my hip. He listens attentively and then gives me succinct and clear instructions. He even let me demonstrate a posture that was causing a concern for me. Basically I shouldn’t do it.!

I have heard wonderful things about dr locker and his skills as an orthopedist …..for years

Comfortable experience!

Dr Locker is a superb orthopedic surgeon with great bedside manners and compassion. I trust him fully and highly recommend him. I can’t wait to have my right hip replaced after he said he can help me. Hoping knee pain will go away as well as hip can affect that. Thank you, Dr Locker for your help!
