My right hip began to hurt back in March 2020. Due to the pandemic and thinking that the pain would eventually disappear, I didn’t seek medical attention until I saw Dr. Robinson HSS Brooklyn in June 2021. He set me on the right track and said that he had an excellent surgeon for total hip replacement surgery. He was right on target with Dr. Gausden. I saw her in December and felt that she was very knowledgeable and confident. I knew that I was in good hands. I also began physical therapy in August 2021 with Hanna Shlang. My two years of pain and limping ended with 1 1/2 hours of surgery under the skillful hands of Dr. Gausden and her surgical team. I continue to do PT with Hanna and I’ve returned to school as a school counselor. Hip Hip Hooray!
