On May 6, 2025, I had bilateral knee replacement with Dr. Stephen J. O’Brien at HSS, and I could not be more grateful. From the moment I met him, I felt reassured by his confidence and expertise. He told me the pain would be minimal - and he was right. Even with such a major surgery, my recovery was far easier than I ever imagined, and today my range of motion is excellent in both knees.
The entire HSS staff was extraordinary. Every nurse, PA, and member of Dr. O’Brien’s team provided care that was compassionate, responsive, and truly above and beyond. Even during a complication that required a transfusion, I never once felt unsafe or afraid because of the attention and skill surrounding me.
Thanks to Dr. O’Brien, the outstanding HSS team, and the unwavering support of my family, I am back on my feet, walking comfortably, and living life again. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. O’Brien and HSS to anyone in need of joint replacement - they gave me not just new knees, but a new lease on life.
