Dr. Handal replaced both of my hip joints about a year apart and I could not be more pleased with the results.  My pain subsided almost immediately after the surgery.  I am walking normally with zero pain and am able to stand for long periods of time. Dr. Handal is not only an extremely skilled and experienced surgeon but also a nice guy with a great bedside manner.  Bonus is that he has a special skill with incision closure.  Within a short amount of time the incisions became practically invisible!  Very Highly Recommend!!!
