Patient Testimonials

Maureen and Michael Benton, Southport, CT — Thoracic spinal fusion surgery
Our 12 year-old son, Michael, had a thoracic spinal fusion in August 2011 performed by Dr. Green. I am pleased to tell you that it was the best experience it could have been. HSS made this a positive experience for us. Dr. Green is a skilled surgeon and a kind person, the nursing staff was kind and attentive, and the ancillary staff was wonderful as well. Our room had a view of the East River which may sound silly but the water was such a healing entity for us. Staring out at the water while recovering was very helpful, and the kindness expressed to me as Mikey's parent-in-residence, well, I can't say enough. The kindness shown to us brings tears to my eyes. I especially liked the personal visits to Mikey from the nursing staff of the PACU when he was recovering in the regular surgical wing. I am recommending HSS to everyone with orthopedic needs. And FYI, Mikey was at the ballfield today swinging a bat with full rotation! We hope he will be back to being Jr. Babe Ruth soon!
