Orthopedic Veteran Chooses Dr. Ron Hudanich for Her Own Hip Replacement
After more than 22 years working alongside orthopedic surgeons throughout Central Florida, Carol Suarez understood exactly what makes an exceptional surgeon. As a former orthopedic nurse, she spent decades helping patients navigate joint pain, surgery, and recovery. But eventually, she faced a decision of her own.
“I started experiencing hip pain that began to limit my walks, vacation planning, and pickleball games,” says Suarez. “As the pain worsened, I knew it was time to act.”
Having worked with countless orthopedic specialists throughout her career, Carol didn’t have to spend time researching her options.
“Given my years of collaboration with orthopedic surgeons throughout Central Florida, I knew exactly who to call—Dr. Ron Hudanich at Greater Orlando Orthopedic Group.”
Dr. Hudanich is widely recognized for his expertise in robotic-assisted joint replacement and has helped thousands of patients return to active, pain-free lives. His advanced robotic-assisted anterior hip replacement approach offers exceptional precision while helping patients recover faster and get back to the activities they love.
Even with her extensive medical background, Carol admits she was hesitant about surgery at first.
“His robotic-assisted anterior hip replacement was the right choice for me, despite my initial reluctance and chickening out a couple of times!” she says with a laugh.
Once she moved forward, however, the results exceeded her expectations.
Carol documented her recovery with videos showing her walking just five hours after surgery and again on postoperative days one and two—a remarkable testament to both the procedure and her determination.
“The results have truly been incredible,” says Suarez. “I’m completely pain-free! I couldn’t have asked for a better surgeon than Dr. Hudanich.”
For Carol, the success of her surgery isn’t measured only by the absence of pain. It’s about getting her life back.
Today, she’s looking forward to returning to the activities she enjoys most—including an upcoming dream vacation to Japan just two months after surgery.
When someone who spent more than two decades working in orthopedics needs a hip replacement and knows exactly who to trust, that speaks volumes. For Carol, the choice was clear—and the results have been life-changing.
