"The events that transpired since my horrific ski accident left me feeling as though I would never walk again much less ski with my children. I had shattered both my tibia and fibula and 8 surgeries prior to visiting Dr. Fragomen's office."

"After months of research and word of mouth recommendations I decided that the HSS was where I wanted to go. I contacted the hospital they gave me the names of surgeons who are expert in hip replacement. I met a woman who had Dr. Della Valle as her surgeon - she had had a wonderful experience. So I made an appointment & in one month it was done, the hospital was wonderful, the Drs. nursing staff, even the cleaning staff - I can't say enough about the care I received. "

"We have been blessed with four HSS doctors. Two years ago our son had a devastating knee injury that carried a high rate of disability. In addition, he developed something called compartment syndrome, which carried a high rate of amputation. Our home-town surgeon had only seen three such injuries in his entire career. He told us our son would be disabled and faced developing early arthritis. As our son remained in ICU, we were warned of his poor prognosis. Then, a miracle happened."
