"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."

"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."
Shoulder Labrum Tear
"I am 2 weeks post and am already walking without a cane. I know that the post op rehab therapy is key to my continued recovery. "

"When talking about Dr. Cunningham, words fall short for describing such an amazing surgeon. He spent so much time with my husband & myself explaining why I was in so much pain & what needed to be done to correct the problem. He made me confident in my decision to have the surgery."
Spine Injury/Condition
"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 consider Dr. Semih Gungor to be one of my special "angels". He is so thorough, compassionate, kind, considerate, and gentle. I hold other doctors to his high standard. He doesn't give up and continues to try all possibilities. I get great pleasure in referring him to others as I know he will do everything possible to relieve their pain. A special person and truly what a doctor epitomizes."
Pain Management
"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."

"When I arrived in NY at HSS for the first time, I immediately realized I found an amazing, warm environment with caring, intelligent professionals who could possible advise me to make the right decision for my future. Dr. Cunningham, I have never met such a warm, compassionate, caring, confident, detail oriented doctor as yourself. You have such an incredible bed side manner and such an amazing way of talking with your patients about the procedures that will occur which definitely eased my mind and lessened my fear. Thank you again for the exceptional care I received the second time around at HSS. You have gone above and beyond protocol to ensure quality care."
