"I consider Dr. Semih Gungor to be one of my special "angels". He is so thorough, compassionate, kind, considerate, and gentle. I hold other doctors to his high standard. He doesn't give up and continues to try all possibilities. I get great pleasure in referring him to others as I know he will do everything possible to relieve their pain. A special person and truly what a doctor epitomizes."
Pain Management
"When it became obvious that I had to have surgery, Dr. Coleman operated very quickly and the care I received was outstanding. His physician assistant, Kira Levyk, is amazing as well. She is very talented and very smart. Kira is also incredibly responsive to patient needs. They are quite a team and deserve a great deal of recognition for their undying efforts in caring for patients."
Shoulder Injury/Condition
"WOW! A common question following surgery from friends and loved ones is, "How are you feeling?" It is very simple, Wow! After an exhaustive search for the right Doctor, I am happy to report that the wait was worth it. Dr. Matthew Cunningham is second to none. Dr. Cunningham's diagnosis was perfect. He spent quality time with me, answered all the questions I had. What impressed me the most was his calm and comforting demeanor. "
Spinal Stenosis

Knee Replacement
"My experience was great starting with Dr. Boachie and his wonderful office staff (Lindy, Tom, Theresa and Cynthia). They were always helpful with any of my questions or concerns and would always calm my fears. The wonderful care continued at HSS. The day of surgery - that care continued - I was treated so well I couldn't believe how calm I was. My anesthesiologist Dr. Michael Urban was wonderful and checked on me days after to monitor my pain."
Spine Fusion
"On November 9, 2011 I had a total knee replacement. Dr. Steven Haas is not only an excellent surgeon, he is the Michelangelo of knee surgery. I cannot thank Dr. Haas and his entire staff enough, plus the staff at HSS. I was cared for with kindness and compassion. Now, five months later, the results have been wonderful. Thank you."
