Hear from Our Patients

Laurel Heslin

Age: 55
Location: Baltimore, MD
Background: Former Olympic field hockey player

“After competing at the highest levels in field hockey, I struggled with arthritis and overuse injuries for years. I couldn’t tie my shoes, wear heels, or even walk without limping. Dr. Coombs and the team at Hopkins gave me my active life back. I was walking my St. Bernard within two days of surgery and playing pickleball within weeks. The process was seamless, from pre-op education to recovery. To anyone considering it—don’t wait. This surgery is life-changing.”

Patricia Newman

Age: 72
Location: Baltimore, MD
Background: Preschool teacher

“The pain before surgery was intense—I couldn’t work some days and was worried about falling. But from the moment I arrived at Johns Hopkins, everything went like clockwork. Dr. Coombs was thoughtful and thorough. I was alert after surgery, walking right away, and my recovery felt even better than my first hip replacement years ago. I’m back to nannying, walking, and living my life. It’s not just physical relief—it’s peace of mind.”

Jim Flynn

Age: 61
Location: Glen Burnie, MD
Background: Special education teacher and small business owner

“As a former athlete and current lawn care business owner, I couldn’t afford to be slowed down. Dr. Coombs put me at ease immediately—his professionalism and energy stood out. I was off the walker in a week, back to work in five days, and haven’t needed pain meds since. I tell everyone: if you're in pain, get it done. I’m lifting again, working, and finally pain-free.”
