" 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. "
"About 10 years ago my husband and I retired to Virginia where my daughter practices pediatric critical care, but we always come home to HSS when we need an orthopedic surgeon. There is nowhere else in the world we would ever go!!"
"My theory - why not go to the best when it's 35 miles away when others travel much greater distances to get there."
"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 had been in pain for over 10 years with my knees and constantly on pain medication. I am a musician - performing for events on keyboard and vocals, standing at the keyboard leading my band. At the end of every performance I was in terrible pain. When I got home each evening I was limping and could not sleep without pain killers."
"The entire experience was exceptional and I was able to return to work just 25 days after surgery with no pain or discomfort during my 10 hour day. I would return to the Hospital For Special Surgery for any orthopedic procedure without hesitation."
