"About a year and a half ago, I was having trouble with my left knee. Feeling very frustrated I decided to turn to the Internet. I looked up “top orthopedic doctors” and found Hospital for Special Surgery and Dr. David Mayman. After reviewing my case Dr. Mayman agreed to see me."
"The information, care and treatment I received at HSS was far superior to any that I had received before coming to Dr. David Dines at HSS."
"I am hiking and riding a bike; two things that I have not done for five years. Going up and down the stairs is no longer an arduous task. "
"To me, it was miracle surgery because I almost lost my hope that I will be able to walk again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr. Della Valle and HSS."
"After having had a right hip replacement in Long Island that went awry and after having been on Oxycontin for 14 months with no help from my surgeon, I finally went to see Dr. Della Valle at HSS. He diagnosed my condition in about 2 minutes and I had the surgery August 31, 2011. "
"Now I am pain free and back to enjoying my usual daily activities, such as fishing and biking. I am very thankful for Dr. DiFelice and the staff at HSS."
"I recovered from the operation quickly and easily. I am now free of back pain, able to walk without inhibition and looking forward to the moment at the end of the month when I can once again bend over and touch my toes – or, more usefully, tie my shoelaces."
"I'm just an "average joe" who had a relatively active lifestyle until osteoarthritis got the best of my hips. It took a lot of convincing before I was ready to accept that I needed surgical intervention to alleviate my worsening hip pain."
