As an orthopedic nurse practitioner, I know how hard it can be to create a “stress-free” experience for patients undergoing surgery. Dr. Demetracopoulos, Lowsant and every other person I encountered during my stay at HSS did just that. Dr. Demetracopoulos has given me my life back as I went from hardly being able to walk with a crutch to now walking the trails with my search and rescue dogs independently following my ankle replacement. Thank you, Dr. Demetracopoulos, Lowsant and the rest of the care team at HSS!
