Comments: I have been very satisfied with the level of care I've received from dr. Carlock. When I was very concerned about a possible hitch prior to the surgery, he called to speak with me not once, or twice but three times. He visited me three times in the two day hospital stay and he called on the week-anniversary of the surgery. His concern is much appreciated, added to which he did a good job on the surgery. At least as far any patient can assess their own surgery! At appointments he explains and covers the whole process and doesn't minimize the possible pain or hard work to attain a good result. I recommend him highly and the Nirschl clinic from which he works. My hip is getting better all the time and the pain is minimal to zero.
