"I was born with a dislocated hip. As a young child I spent 2 years in body casts. I never had surgery to correct this. When I was 48 the pain was so severe I knew I needed to do something. I visited 2 orthopedic surgeons. They both agreed they did not know if they could make me better after surgery as the standard prostheses would not fit me as I had no hip socket. Then I found HSS and Dr Figgie. He assured me he could correct my problem with a custom made prostheses. "




















"I came back on the platform tennis court 9-10 weeks later. And 6 months later, I was hiking in Cinque Terre. The experiences were absolutely amazing and great but fading scars to prove it!"


"There is no cure for lupus, but for the people who have the disease there is no better place than HSS Rheumatology for treatment and care. Dr. Salmon, besides being my primary care doctor, has been my friend . The care and support she has continuously provided to me is a gift I will always treasure."
