"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."

"Have had two knee surgeries at HSS, and was very impressed with all that I encountered."

"I would highly recommend HSS in any of their specialties. Thank You for giving me my active life back!!!"

"HSS is the place to be at, without exception."



"After several consultations with specialty surgeons it was determined that the only solution to relieve my excruciating lower back pain was surgery. I spoke with fellow Ceramic Artists who had suffered from similar back problems and the unanimous, overwhelming recommendation was The Hospital for Special Surgery."

" I called Dr. Mayman and scheduled an appointment at which time I was told I needed a TKR. The procedure was done on the 25th of March 2010 and was an absolute success."

"Milling around around in crowds peering at ancient artifacts doesn't make for a stunning image to illustrate my first steps back to the life I love, but keep in mind that 2-1/2 hours standing on hard museum floors is a good test of knee recovery."

"Eight years ago I went in for surgery up here in Dutchess county only to awaken and find that it was not done because the surgeon thought I was too heavy for the table. I then contacted Dr. Maynard who had a lot of compassion for me and scheduled the surgery at HSS. He ended up replacing my entire hip and added 4 inches to my leg bone as over the years it wore down rubbing in the hip joint."

"Whenever I talk to someone who needs to get a knee or hip replaced I give them Dr. Padgett's name and number."

"I only look forward now, to my morning walks around the lake where I live, and most of all with quality time my nine year old granddaughter to go wherever she wants to go. "

"I am a professional Martial Arts instructor and was able after completing rehab to demonstrate moves I had not been able to show for years. "
