"I required total knee replacement of my left knee. On Nov 2, 2010, I had my replacement. The operation took approximately one hour and I was home three days after the surgery. My treatment and care at HSS was exemplary. Today is Mar 21, 2011 and I am fully capable and have returned to my full work schedule without any pain."
"With the help of physical therapy and my determination to return to soccer I saw positive results faster than I could have imagined. "
"I have been a patient at HSS since 1977. HSS is the only hospital I would ever consider for orthopedic care or surgery for myself, family and those I do refer. I have always been extremely satisfied with every doctor I have visited and in my case they have been numerous over the years."
"Dr. Daluiski & his team are amazing. He is a perfectionist of the highest standards. "
"I had two knee replacements, one each stay, at HSS. I was pain-free thanks to intravenous pain medication. This greatly helped my frame of mind stay positive. "
"I am now climbing stairs "like a normal person" I am back to walking three to four miles a day. Before my knee became too bad, my routine was to walk five miles a day. This is what I missed the most..I am happy beyond expectations with the results of my surgery."
"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. "
"This commendation goes to the team effort of three specific individuals that made it possible for me to continue to walk and live a normal unrestricted life. It started with the keen skills of Dr. Brian Halpern who instantly recognized that my sudden onset of shin splints was a serious lower back problem that had developed. I was training at 65 to take my first vacation in years to go climbing in the Alps."
"I have been a patient of HSS 3 times. Each and every time, the people of HSS show that they are truly special."
