"I would recommend Dr. Ranawat and the HSS to anyone. They are both excellent. And that's my story."
Partial Knee Replacement
" It is now 4 months since my surgery and I feel like 41 not 61!!! Thank you and again your staff from housekeeping to the top were wonderful!"
Knee Replacement
"By the time I saw Dr. Figgie, my knees were in bad shape. It was no longer enjoyable to go on the trips we loved so much. Dr. Figgie and HSS gave me my life back, and I thank you."
Knee Injury/Condition
"I'm an avid cyclist, skier, and hiker and at age 61 I broke my wrist mountain biking in Boulder, CO. It was an awful break with an equally horrible second opinion telling me I didn't require surgery. I was lucky enough to get an appointment with Dr. Lee in NYC for a consult. He immediately diagnosed my wrist as improper bone healing, ligament damage, deformation and suggested surgery either back in Colorado or with him. I realized rather quickly that there was only one doctor I would trust to fix me and that was Dr. Lee."
Broken Wrist
"Prior to my surgery, I was having difficulty walking, standing straight and just doing everyday life activities. My doctor and his staff are very nice and he has bed side manners. I have told many people what a great hospital I was in and a great experience that I had there. "
Hip Replacement
"I had a total knee replacement in September, 2010. Prior to surgery I was in continual pain, and unable to lead an active life. I couldn't climb stairs bilaterally; couldn't walk a full city block without resting; couldn't get a good night's sleep. The surgery was successful beyond my wildest dreams. By the third day home I had discarded the walker for a cane, and within three weeks I was only using the cane to summon a cab. Integral to this success was not only the skill of the surgeon and the nursing and therapy care, but also the pain management team."
Knee Replacement
"Dr. Cunningham has given me a new lease on life. I will always be so grateful for the amazing care, professionalism and unheard of empathy that this brilliant Dr. Cunningham has given to me. "
Scoliosis
"I had my left hip revised in November, and my right hip revised for a different reason in February. Both were complicated procedures that most orthopedic surgeons could not have done. Dr. Mathias Bostrom did both surgeries and both were extremely successful (life changing for me)."
Hip Revision Surgery
"Hospital For Special Surgery (HSS) was the very "BEST" of all hospitals I have been treated in during the past 80 years. The orientation for my hip replacement for all levels of the processes removed all concerns and resulted in my positive attitude going into the operation. Knowing I was in the best hands with Dr. Chitanjan Ranawat it could not have been better - a total success."
Hip Replacement
"I was operated on for hip replacement on Dec 23, 2009 by Dr. Sculco. I am extremely satisfied. "
