My active lifestyle of running half marathons and 10 mile broad street runs came to a halt last year when my hip pain became unbearable. After going to a local orthopedic hospital in Philadelphia where my residence is, the doctor told me my pain was the result of a torn labrum and arthritis. A friend of mine in NY referred me to HSS after researching the doctors on staff and an appointment was made with Dr. Nawabi. The treatment that was given to me by him and his staff was incredible. After meeting Dr. Nawabi he immediately put me at ease by thoroughly explaining everything to me and saying "I’m going to treat you like a family member". My surgery was October 26 2016 and went very well. The day after surgery Dr. Nawabi stopped by my room and reassured me that everything would be fine what an awesome. Six weeks post-surgery, I was back to work and at 3 months doing a brisk 3 miles walking on the treadmill. Being back in the game and enjoying my new hip, I’m at 100%. I’m blessed to have had the opportunity to come to such a prestigious and awesome medical facility. Again thank you so much thanks also to the physician assistant Carly Lang and to Melissa. It’s great to be back in the game!
