"I would not be standing straight and free from my back brace if it wasn't for Dr. Boachie and all the caring personnel I came in contact with at the Hospital for Special Surgery."

"With the help of physical therapy and my determination to return to soccer I saw positive results faster than I could have imagined. "

"I was treated with respect, knowledge and caring through the many health professionals I encountered. I felt safe and secure while there. "

"On Jan 17, 2011, I had a total knee replacement. This was after suffering with painful arthritis for years and being bow legged on one side for 2 years. I had a great surgeon, Dr. Windsor."




"From my first visit with Dr. Wyss, I couldn't have been more happy with the decision I made. Dealing with a chronic knee condition involves patience, knowing your limitations, and dedication. He discussed my condition in thorough fashion, provided a detailed outline of options, but most importantly gave me hope and assurance."

"About 10 years ago my husband and I retired to Virginia where my daughter practices pediatric critical care, but we always come home to HSS when we need an orthopedic surgeon. There is nowhere else in the world we would ever go!!"

"After months of research and word of mouth recommendations I decided that the HSS was where I wanted to go. I contacted the hospital they gave me the names of surgeons who are expert in hip replacement. I met a woman who had Dr. Della Valle as her surgeon - she had had a wonderful experience. So I made an appointment & in one month it was done, the hospital was wonderful, the Drs. nursing staff, even the cleaning staff - I can't say enough about the care I received. "

"My shoulder really bothered me. I was referred to to Dr. Answorth Allen. From my very first visit I was impressed. The staff was very helpful and professional."

"5 weeks ago I got a right hip re-surfacing. I feel blessed. I have my life back. Zero pain. Strength and flexibility are back. Everyday better."

"I am now almost five months post surgery and have been pain free ever since. While I am not quite "bionic", I was able to return to all impact activities. "

"The first doctor I saw was Dr. Kennedy. He was understanding of my situation and immediately put me at ease. I knew I had made the right choice. "
