"I met Doctor Austin T. Fragomen and he literally spent the time needed to change my mind set about the operation. I know I was difficult but he hung in there with me."
"I had total knee replacement and was up and about in no time. I had very little pain after the surgery."
"My experience was great starting with Dr. Boachie and his wonderful office staff (Lindy, Tom, Theresa and Cynthia). They were always helpful with any of my questions or concerns and would always calm my fears. The wonderful care continued at HSS. The day of surgery - that care continued - I was treated so well I couldn't believe how calm I was. My anesthesiologist Dr. Michael Urban was wonderful and checked on me days after to monitor my pain."
" I called Dr. Mayman and scheduled an appointment at which time I was told I needed a TKR. The procedure was done on the 25th of March 2010 and was an absolute success."
"At age 18, I had a double hip procedure performed in order to repair labral tears and enable me to have more motion within my hip joints. I never thought I would be able to dance again. I am now 20 years old, and a member of my college dance team, part of two dance companies, and pain free- I could not be happier!"
" I’d like to report that leg lengthening is a wonderful thing. Not to say it’s a wonderful thing to need, but truly it is blessing that a leg discrepancy can be corrected. Dr. Rozbruch performed the surgery at Hospital for Special Surgery in New York to lengthen my son’s femur. I highly recommend this doctor and hospital, and the hospital staff are fantastic!"
"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."
"On October 13, 2009, I had total hip replacement performed by Dr. Eduardo Salvati, He is the man. Dr. Salvati gave me my life back!"
"HSS is the best. I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. My surgeon Dr. Ranawat has had a life transforming effect on me and my family."
"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!!"
