"Two weeks later, I was back to work, using my newly pain free hands! My family, friends & clients could not believe & were impressed with my recovery time."
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
"The whole process at HSS was fantastic - If you lie in pain each night because of your hips, just get it replaced."
Hip Replacement
" 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."
Hip Labral Tear
"I got very lucky when I got the name of Dr. S Robert Rozbruch, who did an ankle distraction. I was in a fixator for 3 months (not pleasant, but certainly manageable) and when it was removed, the bone on bone was gone and cartilage had regenerated. "
Ankle Injury/Condition
"5 weeks ago I got a right hip re-surfacing. I feel blessed. I have my life back. Zero pain. Strength and flexibility are back. Everyday better."
Hip Resurfacing
" Surgery was a life changing experience. Instead of being relegated to a life of walking with assistance or worse, I now walk with ease completing tasks which were once seemed daunting."
Leg Injury/Condition
"My theory - why not go to the best when it's 35 miles away when others travel much greater distances to get there."
Knee Replacement
"The first doctor I saw was Dr. Kennedy. He was understanding of my situation and immediately put me at ease. I knew I had made the right choice. "
Pain Management
"I had hip arthroscopy with Dr. S. Coleman for torn labrum. I had the surgery on a Tuesday evening and home in NJ at 1am. I was back to working as a physician on crutches on Monday."
Hip Labral Tear
"I had been suffering with progressive spinal stenosis for several years; this initially caused pain and ultimately numbness and loss of control of my left leg. I sought help from HSS for a solution to my problem. I found a thoughtful surgical solution from Dr. Frank Cammisa. By three months I was walking half a mile, and by six months could walk all I wanted. The symptoms and disability were gone."
Spinal Stenosis
Shoulder Arthroscopy
"I had a total knee replacement in September, 2010. Prior to surgery I was in continual pain, and unable to lead an active life. I couldn't climb stairs bilaterally; couldn't walk a full city block without resting; couldn't get a good night's sleep. The surgery was successful beyond my wildest dreams. By the third day home I had discarded the walker for a cane, and within three weeks I was only using the cane to summon a cab. Integral to this success was not only the skill of the surgeon and the nursing and therapy care, but also the pain management team."
