"I got out of bed the next morning with a walker and had my leg flat on the ground and knew that this was very different from all my other surgeries. I knew right away that he had done something miraculous. "

" I got hip surgery in the end of July so it would not interfere with school. In October I swam competitively in a swim meet, only three months after the surgery. I remember going to Dr. Kelly for an appointment and he was amazed that I was able to swim competitively so quickly. I was so eager to run again. I was able to gradually start running again that following March. By May, I completed my first triathlon."




"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."











"In March of 2011, I went to HSS and met Dr. Mathias Bostrom, who in my opinion, created a miracle when he operated on my right knee. I am now able to walk and stand on my leg without pain like before. I will always be indebted to him and have him in my prayers."

"I have had many surgeries and stayed in many different hospitals and never experienced care like I did at HSS. I have been recommending it and bragging about it ever since."

"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. "
