Bow Legs
"It was August 13, 2005 and what a perfect day it was to play soccer. I remember everything about that day. During my first game of the tournament; my teammate passed me a through ball, I ran onto it, and for some reason I still don’t understand I slid to get the ball, and as I did the other teams keeper came out to get the ball, and we collided. Here I was 65 pounds soaking wet, going up against someone who was twice my size, so you can bet the outcome wasn’t very good."
Broken Leg
"When I first visited Dr. Sculco in 2004 I had very limited range of motion in my hips. I walked with a significant limp. I had bilateral hip replacement in 2005. I was back to work in 10 days and leading the NY Giants off-season program 2.5 months later."
Hip Replacement
Broken Wrist
Cerebral Palsy (CP)
"For the past several years I had been in a lot of pain and discomfort with my feet. I developed bunions early on in my 20's. Up to that point I put up with the discomfort only to realize that it was affecting every part of my body. The staff at HSS, from the receptionist to the nurses and anesthesiologist, and Dr. Elliott himself and everyone who worked in the same- day surgery unit, made me feel safe and very comfortable up and until the time of surgery . I was given undivided attention even afterward. My pain was managed so efficiently, I went home that day."

"The surgery was extremely successful, and I was free of the pain associated with the hip immediately. I was on my feet walking the next day. "

I can't say enough good things about the great care I received at HSS from not only the wonderful doctors but also the nurses, aides, the pre surgical staff and physical therapists who helped me on my road to recovery and a pain free life."
