"The information and classes before the surgery, and the care and help you receive after the surgery, are what make HSS so special. I know that it sped up my recovery, and enabled me to return to playing tennis and hiking, the two things I like best. If you want to maintain your quality of life there is only one choice for hip replacement, HSS. I truly believe this."
Hip Replacement
Hip Labral Tear
"I'm just an "average joe" who had a relatively active lifestyle until osteoarthritis got the best of my hips. It took a lot of convincing before I was ready to accept that I needed surgical intervention to alleviate my worsening hip pain."
Hip Resurfacing
"To me, it was miracle surgery because I almost lost my hope that I will be able to walk again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr. Della Valle and HSS."
Leg Injury/Condition
"I am 2 weeks post and am already walking without a cane. I know that the post op rehab therapy is key to my continued recovery. "
Knee Replacement
"My experience at HSS was outstanding. I had a knee replacement 3 months ago and I am walking with no assistance and am back to work. My message to those who are in need of surgery: why settle for less when you can get the very very best?"
Knee Replacement
"I was operated on for hip replacement on Dec 23, 2009 by Dr. Sculco. I am extremely satisfied. "
Hip Replacement
Spinal Stenosis
"I can never say enough great things about Dr. Cunningham. In the fall of 2013, he performed an extensive very large spinal fusion on me. This was my 3rd spinal fusion but my first surgery with Dr. Cunningham. "
Spine Fusion
"After surgery with Dr. Craig, I felt another person. Thanks to Dr. Craig and to HSS, I can move my arm, do all kinds of chores, and play with my grandkids."
Shoulder Replacement
"When I arrived in NY at HSS for the first time, I immediately realized I found an amazing, warm environment with caring, intelligent professionals who could possible advise me to make the right decision for my future. Dr. Cunningham, I have never met such a warm, compassionate, caring, confident, detail oriented doctor as yourself. You have such an incredible bed side manner and such an amazing way of talking with your patients about the procedures that will occur which definitely eased my mind and lessened my fear. Thank you again for the exceptional care I received the second time around at HSS. You have gone above and beyond protocol to ensure quality care."
Spine Laminectomy
"About a year and a half ago, I was having trouble with my left knee. Feeling very frustrated I decided to turn to the Internet. I looked up “top orthopedic doctors” and found Hospital for Special Surgery and Dr. David Mayman. After reviewing my case Dr. Mayman agreed to see me."
