"I am hiking and riding a bike; two things that I have not done for five years. Going up and down the stairs is no longer an arduous task. "
Knee Revision Surgery
"I recovered from the operation quickly and easily. I am now free of back pain, able to walk without inhibition and looking forward to the moment at the end of the month when I can once again bend over and touch my toes – or, more usefully, tie my shoelaces."
Spine Laminectomy
Shoulder Arthroscopy
Hip Replacement
"Two spine surgeries and I am happy to say I am doing well and feel like a new person. I wish I could personally thank each and every person who had a part in my story at HSS. "
Spine Injury/Condition
"The whole process at HSS was fantastic - If you lie in pain each night because of your hips, just get it replaced."
Hip Replacement
"The events that transpired since my horrific ski accident left me feeling as though I would never walk again much less ski with my children. I had shattered both my tibia and fibula and 8 surgeries prior to visiting Dr. Fragomen's office."
Broken Leg
"Being an ice hockey goalie for over 40 years had wreaked havoc on both of my hips, but I still wanted to continue to play. In January of 2009, I had hip resurfacing done by Dr. Geoffrey Westrich at HSS."
Hip Resurfacing
"I started seeing Dr. Wyss about 10 months ago after dealing with an orthopedist in Rockland County that was unable to diagnose my condition or provide me any relief from the pain that I was in. Dr. Wyss is an amazing doctor and is the reason that I am back to work today."
Knee Injury/Condition
"Eight years ago I went in for surgery up here in Dutchess county only to awaken and find that it was not done because the surgeon thought I was too heavy for the table. I then contacted Dr. Maynard who had a lot of compassion for me and scheduled the surgery at HSS. 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."

Hip Replacement
"This commendation goes to the team effort of three specific individuals that made it possible for me to continue to walk and live a normal unrestricted life. It started with the keen skills of Dr. Brian Halpern who instantly recognized that my sudden onset of shin splints was a serious lower back problem that had developed. I was training at 65 to take my first vacation in years to go climbing in the Alps."
