Really appreciate your thoughtful and balanced outlook here. You’re absolutely right -- doing your research, weighing perspectives, and finding a world-class surgeon you trust makes all the difference.
For me, that was Dr. Lawrence Levine out of Rush University in Chicago. He was beyond amazing—world class, best of the best. My surgery and revision experience with him could not have gone smoother, and I honestly sing his praises any chance I get. It gave me so much confidence knowing I was in the hands of someone at the very top of the field.
Like you said, once you’ve done your due diligence and chosen your path, it’s about leaning into the journey, letting go of the anxiety, and trusting the process. I’ve been able to fully enjoy my implant and it truly has been a life-changing gift.
Your mindset of being informed but also bold is spot on. That combination is powerful. You’re going to do great. Best of luck on your journey.
That’s awesome man. Dr Levine has been getting lots of praise here - and I really like his approach and mentality based on the experiences of DukeCicero as well. Duke went with the Genesis MPP after really talking things through with Dr Levine and weighing out the pros and cons. It’s great to see a surgeon that understands the merits of both IPPs and MPPs and how to weigh them out with the goals of the patient in mind.
