Alan Boulder, CO

"I'm an avid cyclist, skier, and hiker and at age 61 I broke my wrist mountain biking in Boulder, CO. It was an awful break with an equally horrible second opinion telling me I didn't require surgery. I was lucky enough to get an appointment with Dr. Lee in NYC for a consult. He immediately diagnosed my wrist as improper bone healing, ligament damage, deformation and suggested surgery either back in Colorado or with him. I realized rather quickly that there was only one doctor I would trust to fix me and that was Dr. Lee."

"I have and will still recommend HSS to anyone i meet that needs surgery and is scared. I do this because I feel that the Hospital for Special Surgery is the most sophisticated, intelligent, professional, caring, personalized, environment that I have ever been in. Thank you Dr. Ranawat, Rachael, James, Ana, Renee and everyone at the hospital, for giving me use of my right leg again, and being able to run!"

"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."
