"I was an ardent yoga practitioner for many years and avid hiker until black ice brought me down. Not in an ashram or on a mountain but right on Fifth Avenue and 13th St. I realized what had happened -- a broken kneecap -- and that I couldn’t get up. I once thought I would never cross the street without crutches again, but now I’m back on the mountain!"

"I am telling this story after seeing and experiencing the incredible work that Dr. Rozbruch has done to better peoples lives when conventional medical advice is to say: stop running or there is nothing we can do or have more needless knee surgery. I hope that others with limb discrepancies and other similar issues can be healed by Dr. Rozbruch's fine work."

"Hi Dr. Rozbruch, I Can't thank you enough! The Min and Max are insignificant and my right leg and left leg are within 1 percent which is well under the standard normal difference. As a cyclist I thought you would appreciate this, and as you being my Orthopedic Surgeon I can't tell you how much this old guy appreciates you! "

"As a teenage athlete, I suffered from chronic shoulder dislocations. After TWO unsuccessful Putty-Platt procedures, I dislocated during a semi-pro football game and was taken to NY Hospital's Emergency Room. After many unsuccessful attempts to reduce my shoulder, the decision was made to sedate me as the attempts were very painful. After meeting with the late Dr. John Marshall, the then NY Giants Orthopedic Physician, he decided to take me on as a patient. We discussed the new concept of Sports Medicine and I would be one of his first patients. "

"My husband Mark had a terrible accident. Dr. Cunningham with his knowledge and expertise had performed surgery on Mark, placing rods, screws and a cage in his spine. We were also always able to ask questions and received answers immediately, never feeling like we were bothering them. Tina, his administrative assistant, was exceptional, always going above & beyond for the patients, as well as Cynthia, his nursing assistant. They always made us feel so important each and every visit."
