Spine Injury/Condition
"My revision surgery was performed May 9, 2013. I was the first patient to undergo this procedure utilizing Mako robotics. Every aspect of my experience was outstanding: Staff, facilities, surgery, and recovery (orthopaedic surgery, anesthesiology, radiology, phlebotomy, medicine, physical therapy, nursing, laboratory, admitting, administrative support, kitchen, services, and more). "
Hip Replacement
" Leading up to my surgery in January 2014, my riding had been compromised by increasing hip pain and weakness. It became difficult to dismount after riding and increasingly precarious to start off. I had to give up riding any difficult horses all together. I was weak and in pain and unable to cope with any fractious behavior. Three months after surgery I was riding again, and six months later I was in the show ring again. Now, a year later, I feel stronger and more secure than ever."
Hip Replacement
"The whole process at HSS was fantastic - If you lie in pain each night because of your hips, just get it replaced."

Shoulder Injury/Condition

ACL Injury
"When I arrived in NY at HSS for the first time, I immediately realized I found an amazing, warm environment with caring, intelligent professionals who could possible advise me to make the right decision for my future. Dr. Cunningham, I have never met such a warm, compassionate, caring, confident, detail oriented doctor as yourself. You have such an incredible bed side manner and such an amazing way of talking with your patients about the procedures that will occur which definitely eased my mind and lessened my fear. Thank you again for the exceptional care I received the second time around at HSS. You have gone above and beyond protocol to ensure quality care."

Hip Resurfacing
"I am now almost five months post surgery and have been pain free ever since. While I am not quite "bionic", I was able to return to all impact activities. "
Hip Resurfacing
"I have to say that I am able to type this review because of Dr. Lee. He is an amazing, skilled, professional and caring doctor. I had gone through a terrible kitchen incident about six months ago, and after rushing to the ER, was told that I had most likely severed the tendons in my finger, and was referred to Dr. Lee at HSS."
