"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. I knew that something wasn't right. I went to see Dr. Answorth Allen, a specialist in shoulder repair. He diagnosed my shoulder with a torn rotator cuff that required surgery."
Shoulder Injury/Condition
"I had fallen 4 years ago and complained of shooting pain down calf of my leg. I went to 4 different orthopedic specialists over the next 3 years with all different outcomes. Finally, I could not stand the pain and lack of quality of life (I teach Kindergarten). I researched HSS and found Dr. Mayman."
Knee Replacement
"After having had a right hip replacement in Long Island that went awry and after having been on Oxycontin for 14 months with no help from my surgeon, I finally went to see Dr. Della Valle at HSS. He diagnosed my condition in about 2 minutes and I had the surgery August 31, 2011. "
Hip Revision Surgery
"To me, it was miracle surgery because I almost lost my hope that I will be able to walk again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr. Della Valle and HSS."
Leg Injury/Condition
"I was hit by a car while joyriding on my favorite Razor scooter. After the accident, doctors said I would never walk again. Without Dr. Wellman's bravery, I wouldn't be here today. "
Broken Leg
"My experience at HSS was outstanding. I had a knee replacement 3 months ago and I am walking with no assistance and am back to work. My message to those who are in need of surgery: why settle for less when you can get the very very best?"

Spinal Stenosis
"HSS has only the BEST DOCTORS on staff, and Dr. MacGillivray adds to their prestigious reputation. From this point on, HSS will be my one stop shopping for superior medical care."
Torn Meniscus
"I started seeing Dr. Wyss about 10 months ago after dealing with an orthopedist in Rockland County that was unable to diagnose my condition or provide me any relief from the pain that I was in. Dr. Wyss is an amazing doctor and is the reason that I am back to work today."
Knee Injury/Condition
"I had very severe bunions on both feet that were inhibiting my walking and simply the ability to find shoes. Dr. Matthew Roberts was great in every respect -- professionalism, courtesy, thoroughness of information, giving, and most importantly, skill in the operating room. "
Bunion
"I am thrilled beyond belief that the relentless pain in my wrist is now gone. I am so grateful for this successful surgery. "
Hand Injury/Condition
"My previous hip resurfacing lasted for nearly 16 years when it collapsed. We found Dr "D" and he expedited my surgery for a full new replacement. "
