"We have been blessed with four HSS doctors. Two years ago our son had a devastating knee injury that carried a high rate of disability. In addition, he developed something called compartment syndrome, which carried a high rate of amputation. Our home-town surgeon had only seen three such injuries in his entire career. He told us our son would be disabled and faced developing early arthritis. As our son remained in ICU, we were warned of his poor prognosis. Then, a miracle happened."

"I have been suffering from severe arthritis from both hips and after a few opinions, I decided to have surgery done. I selected the Hospital For Special Surgery because someone I knew had recommended me to do so. I met with Dr Seth Jerabek and his team for all the necessary details prior to the surgery. On the day of the surgery every thing went perfect, the surgery was a real success, the staff was very dedicated and professional. "

"I was exercising in accordance to my department's policy and while performing a bench press, I felt and heard a popping sensation in my left shoulder followed by immense pain and swelling.
