Frozen Shoulder

Hip Replacement
ACL Injury
"I separated my right shoulder in 1995, the Dr. said the only that would help was time. By 2011, not being able to reach across my desk at work to answer the phone, I sought help. The Drs. out on eastern LI kept giving me cortisone shots, to no avail. Dr. Beth Shubin Stein performed the surgery. I was on my way home 5 hrs later. I have not had such range of motion in 16 years, now with little or no pain."
Dislocated Shoulder
"For the past several years I had been in a lot of pain and discomfort with my feet. I developed bunions early on in my 20's. Up to that point I put up with the discomfort only to realize that it was affecting every part of my body. The staff at HSS, from the receptionist to the nurses and anesthesiologist, and Dr. Elliott himself and everyone who worked in the same- day surgery unit, made me feel safe and very comfortable up and until the time of surgery . I was given undivided attention even afterward. My pain was managed so efficiently, I went home that day."
Bunion
"Although my surgery may be considered minor by some, neither Dr. Elliott nor HSS treated me with any less care or attention. The pride which everyone takes is palpable. "
Ankle Injury/Condition
"After nearly a year of hard-to-manage pain caused particularly by the lower back disc problem, the surgery relieved the pain and within four months of the surgeries, I was back to jogging in Central Park. "
Spine Fusion
"I would not be standing straight and free from my back brace if it wasn't for Dr. Boachie and all the caring personnel I came in contact with at the Hospital for Special Surgery."
