"Milling around around in crowds peering at ancient artifacts doesn't make for a stunning image to illustrate my first steps back to the life I love, but keep in mind that 2-1/2 hours standing on hard museum floors is a good test of knee recovery."
"I'd had severe shoulder pain in my right shoulder for quite some time. Dr. Allen was totally caring, kind and just wonderful - not to mention a brilliant surgeon! "
"I no longer walk bent over and for the first time stand straight. What a miracle."
"To me, it was miracle surgery because I almost lost my hope that I will be able to walk again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr. Della Valle and HSS."
"I came into the hospital for a right hip replacement. I must say that my all-around was wonderful. "
"I had a total knee replacement in September, 2010. Prior to surgery I was in continual pain, and unable to lead an active life. I couldn't climb stairs bilaterally; couldn't walk a full city block without resting; couldn't get a good night's sleep. The surgery was successful beyond my wildest dreams. By the third day home I had discarded the walker for a cane, and within three weeks I was only using the cane to summon a cab. Integral to this success was not only the skill of the surgeon and the nursing and therapy care, but also the pain management team."
"HSS is the place to be at, without exception."
