When I was eighteen I had a sever car accident and shattered my left hip which left my left leg shorter than the right. At 22 I had the hip fused at a 20 degree angle remained that way for the next 30 years. I was in severe back pain and walked with a pronounced limp and many limitations. After having my left knee replaced it was recommended I have the fusion taken down and my hip replaced. A friend recommended the Hospital For Special Surgery and that is where I meant Dr. Mayman. The first visit I knew he was the right doctor. He made me feel confident and relaxed. He replaced my hip and lengthened my leg. I no longer walk bent over and for the first time stand straight. What a miracle. I am so happy to have found Dr. Mayman and will be grateful forever, for what he has done for me and how it has changed my life.
