Living 90 miles north west of New York City in the Catskills the outdoors is my life. Running, hiking, dog training, and biking. When an old injury in my neck could no longer be ignored I sought Dr. Han Jo Kim. From the moment I spoke with Theresa in his office and though the numerous appointments and eventual surgery, I always knew I was in good hands. The level of knowledge, care, and compassion I received throughout the entire process was so supportive and the best care in the world in my opinion. During one of my visits Dr. Kim said he noticed something in my hips that I should checked out when recovered from the neck surgery. My hips have been an issue for years and I could not find any solution. I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Anil Ranawat, who spotted some issues right away and we decided together that hip preservation might not be what I need but he felt he could give some relief with some ultra-sound directed cortisone injections. He sent me to a radiologist at HSS in the city. I have many years in K Search and Rescue, many years as an EMT, but needles are not my thing. This woman and her team were a godsend and the work was stellar and so relaxing that I am actually looking forward to seeing my radiologist and her team for my next series of shots. Why HSS? Why anywhere else? Professional, caring, efficient, and did I mention caring? Six months post-surgery I am back in the woods hiking and taking pictures, some of which I have attached. All this is only possible from the hope and care I received at all my doctors and all the staff at HSS. Thank you.
