Success Stories

Aida Guterriez

Aida Guterriez is an active individual who loves gardening, reading and going to the movies. She also works for Miami-Dade Public Schools. Having osteoarthritis pain in her left hip, however, was slowing her down. She was facing hip replacement surgery. Having previous experience with Select Physical Therapy from her first hip replacement, Aida knew where to go and that our team would help her get back to doing what she loves. Physical Therapist Noel Rubio guided Aida through her right hip replacement, but Aida's left hip would prove to be a bit tricky as she had surgical pins from a previous fracture. Her recovery has been longer, but Noel has supported and set appropriate goals for Aida's recovery. "I feel fine, though some days a bit stiff," Aida said. "But, with the experience I have had with them, I will always go back to them."
