For many people, joint pain doesn’t just hurt—it limits everything. From daily walks around Savannah’s historic squares to chasing after grandchildren or enjoying a weekend on Tybee Island, chronic hip pain can make even simple activities feel impossible. At Optim Orthopedics, our mission is to help patients reclaim their independence, mobility, and quality of life through expert, patient-focused care.
Recently, one of our patients, James Hughes, shared his journey after undergoing knee surgery with Dr. Woo, a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon known across Southeast Georgia for his precision, compassionate care, and advanced surgical techniques.
“I really enjoy being active at the gym, but my hip severely got in the way of that. At my age, being active is important”, James said. “Now, I’m back at the gym and I was really surprised how quickly I was back on my feet. I tell ya, if I had known how quickly I could have been back to normal, I would have done this right away. If you’re thinking you’ll eventually need surgery, might as well get it done so you live life more actively. Optim is the place to do it!”
