"5 months post surgery our son is back to being an active 9 year old boy! We cannot thank Dr. Helfet and his amazing staff enough for taking great care of Michael. "
"By the end of the first week I was walking up and down stairs and by the end of February I was driving my car. I started to play golf again on May 1st. "
"I have had three procedures at HSS in 2013/14. Dr. Bostrom did an extraordinary knee arthroscopy and I have regained full knee range minus pain. Dr. Darren Lebl replaced discs in my back and neck. I am just amazed at his skill and technique, I barely have a scar! I went in with a terrible pain in my arm and shoulder, I had a scar on my neck from previous cervical surgery, and I could scarcely believe that all these issues were resolved."
"After a delicate three hour surgery my fingers and hand are back to normal. I can't say enough good things about the great care I received at HSS from not only the wonderful doctors but also the nurses, aides, the pre surgical staff and physical therapists who helped me on my road to recovery and a pain free life."
"The large glomus tumor was removed and for the first time in years I was free of its horrible pain. It has been seven weeks since the surgery and my thumb is returning to normal."
" I wouldn't hesitate recommending Dr. Athanasian to anyone who needs a a hand specialist!!! Dr. Athanasian is the best!!"
"The information and classes before the surgery, and the care and help you receive after the surgery, are what make HSS so special. I know that it sped up my recovery, and enabled me to return to playing tennis and hiking, the two things I like best. If you want to maintain your quality of life there is only one choice for hip replacement, HSS. I truly believe this."
