Hello all you hippies, I had my first posterior hip replacement 2 years ago and this took so many months out of my life, with a long drawn out recovery. I am now interested in the anterior approach, which I hear has a much shorter recovery time, but am finding difficulties in finding a surgeon in the L. A. area who takes insurance. Hallelujah, I found a Dr. Yun, who works out of St. John's in Santa Monica and have an appointment to consult with him at the end of the month. Does anyone Know of him and any other suggestions? Thankyou. Jaycee
