👏👏👏👏👏 Dr. Hanosh is literally the kindest and most empathetic doctor I have ever met in my life! This is what a doctor should be like. If I could give him 100 stars I would. I am in need of a total hip replacement and have been suffering in dire pain for 2 years. To be honest have been treated very poorly by another doctor at a different hospital. He cancelled my surgery twice, ignored my emails and never returned my calls. I was starting to feel like there was no hope for me. But the came this beautiful doctorcito 🌻⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Not only am I scheduled for surgery but he is making sure that my care is thoroughly coordinated so that I have everything I need to h al comfortably. And wait it gets better! Her name is Rose Marie, she is the nurse that works with Dr. Hanosh. Well she is an angel straight from heaven. She sat down and went over everything with me so thoroughly and with such care. She even gave me her direct number in case of an emergency! What! My family has been in Albuquerque for generations and the healthcare system in New Mexico has not always been the best. So much so, my grandmother died because she did not trust doctors. Dr. Hanosh is from New Mexico and he understands us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I left there feeling like my health and me as a person really mattered. Que dios los bendiga 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 .

Docter Hanosh was extremely helpful, explained procedure, answered all our questions and compassionate. We met with him on 8/6/24 and he can't do hip surgery till 5/22/25 because of lack of additional doctors. jvr

If I could give Dr. Hanosh 10 stars I would. Chris was personable and truly concerned with my needs. Hip replacement was a breeze with the approach he used. Hardest part was following Drs orders and not doing too much because I felt so good.

Dr Hanosh replaced my right hip in July 2021 when I was 60 and today I still I unreservedly recommend the great orthopedics team at Lovelace and Dr Hanosh. Prior to the operation I had interviewed five other surgeons and read seven books on the topic before meeting Dr Hanosh. When we met, he told me about the minimally invasive Superior Method that would allow me to continue to fully bend at the waist. Being able to move your hips below your knees is not always an option with other methods like the Posterior Method, for fear of dislocation. Bonus points for the Superior Method include that the recovery period is almost half the time of the Posterior Method and for a side sleeper like me I much preferred to only have to sleep on my back for four weeks instead of up to eight. Almost three years later my hip continues to perform flawlessly, and I can still move my butt below my knees with ease.

Saw Dr. Hanosh in consult for future hip replacement surgery. I very much appreciated the visit and found him to be very attentive. He answered all the questions I asked and patiently explained all I wanted to know in detail. He had a very good demeanor altogether and I feel confident in having him do my surgery.
