"I required total knee replacement of my left knee. On Nov 2, 2010, I had my replacement. The operation took approximately one hour and I was home three days after the surgery. My treatment and care at HSS was exemplary. Today is Mar 21, 2011 and I am fully capable and have returned to my full work schedule without any pain."
Knee Replacement
" I got hip surgery in the end of July so it would not interfere with school. In October I swam competitively in a swim meet, only three months after the surgery. I remember going to Dr. Kelly for an appointment and he was amazed that I was able to swim competitively so quickly. I was so eager to run again. I was able to gradually start running again that following March. By May, I completed my first triathlon."
Hip Labral Tear
Ankle Injury/Condition
"Within a week I had less pain from that foot than I’d had in at least a year, and now five months later I am a new person, walking as much as I want to with total abandon."
Toe Injury/Condition
" Surgery was a life changing experience. Instead of being relegated to a life of walking with assistance or worse, I now walk with ease completing tasks which were once seemed daunting."
Leg Injury/Condition
"By the end of the first week I was walking up and down stairs and by the end of February I was driving my car. I started to play golf again on May 1st. "
Hip Replacement
"Two weeks later, I was back to work, using my newly pain free hands! My family, friends & clients could not believe & were impressed with my recovery time."
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
"The whole process at HSS was fantastic - If you lie in pain each night because of your hips, just get it replaced."
Hip Replacement
"I had been suffering with progressive spinal stenosis for several years; this initially caused pain and ultimately numbness and loss of control of my left leg. 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."
Spinal Stenosis
Hip Injury/Condition
"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."
Hip Resurfacing
"My theory - why not go to the best when it's 35 miles away when others travel much greater distances to get there."
