What Clients are saying about David Thomas and Next Level Hips

Lea R.  

“David was knowledgable, compassionate, and thorough in supporting me prepare for and rebuild after total hip replacement. Having hip surgery is such a big life event, like having a baby, but our medical system doesn't provide the kind of holistic help I needed. David does. He helped me prepare mentally, physically, and logistically for the event and for afterwards, filling in the gaps between surgeons and physical therapists, providing guidance and insight into what questions to ask the surgeon, what kind of activities I would be likely to be able to do when, the extent of help I would need and how to organize it, information for preparation and recovery. Most of all, I have valued that David is there with only one agenda: to help me. He is open and non-judgmental in providing help, in knowing what it is like to feel unable to do tasks, in knowing that financial and family dynamics always play a role in how we can look after ourselves. It is super to have help and guidance from someone who understands the process, knows what it's like to go through it, and understands the body. I highly recommend David in helping anyone through hip surgery.”

Deb C.

 "I spoke with David Thomas before my surgery. He suggested questions for my healthcare provider that I would not think to ask. David is experienced, informed, professional yet personable. I highly recommend his services and his coaching for anyone preparing for an operation."

Fatima M:

"David knows about the challenges we face through the surgery  and for me, this was crucial. I had a very hard recovery from my surgery. David would call and we talked about the challenges. I could talk about my physical pain, and he understands and has experience.   He was a very important part in my recovery!  I  highly recommend David, he is the missing link of this kind of orthopedic surgery.
His support was the light at the end of the tunnel."
