"I had been in pain for over 10 years with my knees and constantly on pain medication. I am a musician - performing for events on keyboard and vocals, standing at the keyboard leading my band. At the end of every performance I was in terrible pain. When I got home each evening I was limping and could not sleep without pain killers."








"About two years ago I was diagnosed with torn rotator cuff tendons and partially torn bicep tendon in my left shoulder. I decided to get a second opinion and researched top shoulder doctors in N.Y. area. This led me to HSS and Doctor Gulotta. "

"I made the appointment, Dr. Warren checked out my knee and said, "Yes I can do the surgery." I then made the appointment for surgery. "

"I'd had severe shoulder pain in my right shoulder for quite some time. Dr. Allen was totally caring, kind and just wonderful - not to mention a brilliant surgeon! "

"He told me that in 6 months I would be happy I had it done. Not so! I was happy in 6 weeks and was so scared to have it done but it was the best thing I ever did."

"I had fallen in my bedroom causing a massive tear in my left rotator cuff. It was so severe that it could be repaired, necessitating a complete shoulder replacement done masterfully by Dr. Warren."

"The information, care and treatment I received at HSS was far superior to any that I had received before coming to Dr. David Dines at HSS."

"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."

" I had been in terrible pain constantly and had trouble sleeping. Dr. Gulotta told me he wouldn't be able to repair the rotator cuff, but could relieve the pain. "
