I have always lead an active lifestyle and was diagnosed with bilateral hip dysplasia about 4 years ago. I thought nothing of it since I didn't really have any symptoms or appreciable pain and was able to do any activity I wanted. Suddenly, in the summer of 2017, I was bone-on-bone arthritic in my right hip and the pain was real and significant. I went from leading an active lifestyle to not being able to walk 3 blocks without pain. Now I had to do something about it. My local orthopedic surgeon suggested a total hip replacement, which was a real surprise to me, so I went to the HSS referral site for a second opinion. I saw Dr. Maynard shortly thereafter and he suggested a hip resurfacing in lieu of a full replacement. After researching my options, it seemed that the hip resurfacing was the more appropriate choice for me. Dr. Maynard was patient, caring and answered all of my questions. From making my surgical appointment with Dr. Maynard’s office staff to my discharge three weeks later, my experience at HSS was as good as it could have been. The process was smooth and professional at every step of the way. Everyone from the admitting clerk to the nurses was just terrific and attentive. Now I’m three weeks post-surgery and I'm walking pain-free with absolutely no regrets. I’m looking forward to getting back to doing all the things I used to do. Thanks Dr. Maynard!

After my right hip resurfacing in September 2017 performed by Dr. Michael Maynard at HSS, I was sold on the procedure. After healing, there was nothing I could not do with my new hip and it felt and performed like my natural hip. In late 2021, my left hip finally gave out on me and it was time to take care of it. This time, I insisted on seeing Dr. Edwin Su, who is widely known as the best in the business. I saw Dr. Su and his PA Cameron and could not have been more pleased with their kindness, demeanor, and professionalism. Within 2 weeks I checked into HSS and Dr. Su and his amazing team performed their magic. Of course, there is a healing period, but I know that before too long I will be Back in the Game. Thanks to Dr. Su and his great team of Jesse, Cameron, Christina, and Ana, I am pain-free and ready to roll.
