“Dr. Delanois was recommended to me as the best person to do a total hip replacement by another orthopedic surgeon I have known for years who is excellent. His staff is amazing and thorough in follow ups. [For] pain management, [he] is knowledgeable and very sympathetic. My hip replacement is going well with daily online checks to catch potential complications for clots or infection early. Definitely an excellent surgical team.”
