"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 had my procedure on March 3rd, 2014 and went back to very mild weight lifting after about 6 weeks and then returned to a modified training schedule after 12 weeks. I then continued to train while "listening to my body" and returned to full strength in about 5 or 6 months. Again, paying careful attention to technique and my body. I am extremely grateful to be able to continue to train and expect to go back to competing in the very near future."
