After suffering from chronic pain for over a year and being dismissed by multiple doctors who only suggested physical therapy and pain medication, finding Dr. Owusu-Sarpong was truly life-changing. I had been in pain for at least a year before my first appointment with him and after reviewing my imaging and medical history he offered to fit me into his surgical schedule within two weeks of my visit.
The pain had forced me to give up a teaching yoga, fitness and many activities I enjoyed. As someone facing their first surgery, I was anxious and had consulted with equally qualified surgeons at HSS and elsewhere. What ultimately led me to choose HSS and Dr. Owusu-Sarpong was the time and care he took to thoroughly explain the surgery and what to expect during recovery. He genuinely listens and takes his patients seriously—something that meant the world after years of not having my pain taken seriously.
The entire HSS team was exceptional. They got me in and out efficiently while providing outstanding care throughout the entire process. My 7-week recovery went smoothly, and I’m now making my way back to a much more active lifestyle - something I honestly didn’t think was possible. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Owusu-Sarpong and the entire team for giving me my life back.
If you find yourself in need of a world-class spine surgeon and hesitating about seeking treatment at HSS, don’t. This team is the best.
