"My experience at HSS was extraordinary, from the staff who welcomed me to the hospital to the nursing staff and other professionals.

Theodore Stony Brook, NY

"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."
