"I was an ardent yoga practitioner for many years and avid hiker until black ice brought me down. Not in an ashram or on a mountain but right on Fifth Avenue and 13th St. I realized what had happened -- a broken kneecap -- and that I couldn’t get up. I once thought I would never cross the street without crutches again, but now I’m back on the mountain!"

"I am telling this story after seeing and experiencing the incredible work that Dr. Rozbruch has done to better peoples lives when conventional medical advice is to say: stop running or there is nothing we can do or have more needless knee surgery. I hope that others with limb discrepancies and other similar issues can be healed by Dr. Rozbruch's fine work."

"My game is not a sport. It's the game of life. I have an autoimmune disease called myositis. My treatment includes oral prednisone and monthly infusions of IVIG. When I first got sick almost 20 years ago I was 44. I was an elementary school teacher but had to leave due to extreme weakness in my arms and legs. I could barely walk or bathe myself. I refused to just give in to the disease and view my life as over. "

"I have been suffering from severe arthritis from both hips and after a few opinions, I decided to have surgery done. I selected the Hospital For Special Surgery because someone I knew had recommended me to do so. I met with Dr Seth Jerabek and his team for all the necessary details prior to the surgery. On the day of the surgery every thing went perfect, the surgery was a real success, the staff was very dedicated and professional. "
Hip Arthritis
"When the pain in my left knee got so bad that it started to hinder my pursuit of International Folk Dancing, I knew it was time for me to take action. I knew about the work done at Hospital for Special Surgery. My friend recommended Dr. Rozbruch, the surgeon who replaced her both knees."

"I separated my right shoulder in 1995, the Dr. said the only that would help was time. By 2011, not being able to reach across my desk at work to answer the phone, I sought help. The Drs. out on eastern LI kept giving me cortisone shots, to no avail. Dr. Beth Shubin Stein performed the surgery. I was on my way home 5 hrs later. I have not had such range of motion in 16 years, now with little or no pain."
