I sought help from HSS for a solution to my problem. I found a thoughtful surgical solution from Dr. Frank Cammisa. By three months I was walking half a mile, and by six months could walk all I wanted. The symptoms and disability were gone."

"I interviewed three surgeons before meeting Dr Windsor and upon meeting him immediately knew he was the one. His credentials, demeanor and candidness gave me the Confidence I needed to go forward.

He ended up replacing my entire hip and added 4 inches to my leg bone as over the years it wore down rubbing in the hip joint."
