    Action Plan
    After being referred to Dr Secretan and his team at Progression, I was treated with upmost respect and support. I had both hips replaced over a period of 7 months and both times walked out of the hospital unassisted 6 hours post surgery. I found Charlie provided information that was to the point and practical. I was able to recover quickly and resume my usual activities within 6 weeks. Follow up has been exemplary. Top marks. Thank you.
