" I had been in terrible pain constantly and had trouble sleeping. Dr. Gulotta told me he wouldn't be able to repair the rotator cuff, but could relieve the pain. "
"I just want to tell everybody that Dr. Helfet is the best. I had an accident and broke my femur in 4 places. I had 5 surgeries before and the only one that w..."
" Thank you for helping me resume my life again with NO pain. It is a miracle and I cannot express to you how grateful I am for your care from the first appointment until the final follow-up appointment."
"Thanks to Dr. Robert Buly, my theme this year is "I will because I can." "
"HSS has only the BEST DOCTORS on staff, and Dr. MacGillivray adds to their prestigious reputation. From this point on, HSS will be my one stop shopping for superior medical care."
"Being an ice hockey goalie for over 40 years had wreaked havoc on both of my hips, but I still wanted to continue to play. In January of 2009, I had hip resurfacing done by Dr. Geoffrey Westrich at HSS."
"Before surgery, I could not do any physical activity involving my hip. At the time I was a swimmer. Every day after practice, my teammates would have to help me out of the pool because of the pain. Even outside of practice, my hip would affect every aspect of my life. My experience at Hospital for Special Surgery was nothing but positive. Although recovery was difficult, the staff was very friendly and concerned about making the process as smooth and pain free as they possibly could. Since the surgery, my hip has become completely pain free and I am more active than ever!"
"Dr. Kelly and his team were amazing, the surgery went really well and recovery was very straight forward. I am based in Florida but I didn't feel the distance, any queries I had were quickly answered and I felt I got all the support I needed. I was back running at 4 months post op, back at soccer at 7 months and completed my first ever half marathon just under one year post op. I know that I made the right choice with Dr. Kelly and HSS."
"The staff at HSS were amazing and took excellent care of me. After rigorous physical therapy and my favorite, Active Release Therapy, I was able to slowly increase my activity levels. Now, I am running 25K trail runs, hiking the Presidential Traverse, and completing high intensity workouts. I am in better shape than I was before I even started having hip pain!"
"Dr. Jerabek reassured me that having a hip replacement in my 30s did not mean the end of my hobbies - martial arts and adventure hiking. He was right - 4 months and 1 week after total hip replacement, I hiked 80 miles in Nepal to reach Everest Base Camp!"
