Shoulder Replacement
"About two years ago I was diagnosed with torn rotator cuff tendons and partially torn bicep tendon in my left shoulder. I decided to get a second opinion and researched top shoulder doctors in N.Y. area. This led me to HSS and Doctor Gulotta. "
Shoulder Labrum Tear
Compartment Syndrome
"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."
Dislocated Shoulder
"I had a wonderful experience. I had been suffering with a 'frozen shoulder' for nearly 9 months. I received prompt and courteous attention from Dr. Altchek and his staff at all times and would highly recommend their services."
Frozen Shoulder
"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!"
