I visited with Kyle Alpaugh and his assessment was excellent and gave me a lot of comfort and a lot of encouragement as to how to correct my situation. Very high respect for Dr. Alpaugh and what he was able to achieve in me both from my hip replacement and from my visit in May. Thank you.

Dr Alpaugh gave me the confidence I needed to move forward with my procedure. I feel reassured that I will have the best care in my procedure.
