Anthony was born with congenital kyphosis. At one year old our family met Dr. Blanco. We were confident in his ability to care for our son and he set our minds at ease. A year later, it was time for spinal fusion surgery. Of course we were nervous and scared, but every single person we had contact with at the hospital made us feel like we were in the best possible place and that everything was going to be fine. It was a long and scary road but Anthony is now an active five year old. We are thankful for the excellent care our son received at HSS.
