"Dr. Green is a skilled surgeon and a kind person. The nursing staff kind and attentive and the ancillary staff wonderful as well."
Spine Fusion
"At age 18, I had a double hip procedure performed in order to repair labral tears and enable me to have more motion within my hip joints. I never thought I would be able to dance again. I am now 20 years old, and a member of my college dance team, part of two dance companies, and pain free- I could not be happier!"
Hip Labral Tear
"I would highly recommend HSS in any of their specialties. Thank You for giving me my active life back!!!"
Hip Resurfacing
"After several consultations with specialty surgeons it was determined that the only solution to relieve my excruciating lower back pain was surgery. I spoke with fellow Ceramic Artists who had suffered from similar back problems and the unanimous, overwhelming recommendation was The Hospital for Special Surgery."
Spine Injury/Condition
"She had her hips replaced at HSS by Dr. Allan Inglis in 1970. It was a miracle. After healing, she was able to go back to her love of dancing and enjoyed living again. She died December 28, 2010, at 105-year-old with the same hips Dr. Inglis gave her in 1970."
Hip Replacement
"I am so amazed by Dr. Vad's techniques and personable manner, I will use him forever! Thank you Dr. Vad and The HSS for being the best of the BEST of the BEST!"
Knee Replacement
"Have had two knee surgeries at HSS, and was very impressed with all that I encountered."
Knee Injury/Condition
"Sometimes, if we are lucky in life, we cross paths with people who change our lives forever! For me, those people are Dr. Matthew Cunningham and Dr. James Wyss. I went to see Dr. Cunningham after two years of going from doctor to doctor, all in vain. I am a retired physical education teacher with a chronically bad back and many disc problems."
Herniated Disc
" I called Dr. Mayman and scheduled an appointment at which time I was told I needed a TKR. The procedure was done on the 25th of March 2010 and was an absolute success."
Knee Replacement
"Milling around around in crowds peering at ancient artifacts doesn't make for a stunning image to illustrate my first steps back to the life I love, but keep in mind that 2-1/2 hours standing on hard museum floors is a good test of knee recovery."
Knee Replacement
"Eight years ago I went in for surgery up here in Dutchess county only to awaken and find that it was not done because the surgeon thought I was too heavy for the table. I then contacted Dr. Maynard who had a lot of compassion for me and scheduled the surgery at HSS. He ended up replacing my entire hip and added 4 inches to my leg bone as over the years it wore down rubbing in the hip joint."
Hip Replacement
"Whenever I talk to someone who needs to get a knee or hip replaced I give them Dr. Padgett's name and number."
