"After having had a right hip replacement in Long Island that went awry and after having been on Oxycontin for 14 months with no help from my surgeon, I finally went to see Dr. Della Valle at HSS. He diagnosed my condition in about 2 minutes and I had the surgery August 31, 2011. "




"Now I am pain free and back to enjoying my usual daily activities, such as fishing and biking. I am very thankful for Dr. DiFelice and the staff at HSS."



"I now have pain-free flexibility and movement--to get in and out of a car, play with my granddaughter, sit in a movie theater and so on. "

"I was having much difficulty walking and being able to do many daily tasks. Now I can walk for miles, I take a spin class 3x per week. "

"I have been a patient of HSS 3 times. Each and every time, the people of HSS show that they are truly special."

"My previous hip resurfacing lasted for nearly 16 years when it collapsed. We found Dr "D" and he expedited my surgery for a full new replacement. "

"About a year and a half ago, I was having trouble with my left knee. Feeling very frustrated I decided to turn to the Internet. I looked up “top orthopedic doctors” and found Hospital for Special Surgery and Dr. David Mayman. After reviewing my case Dr. Mayman agreed to see me."
