I had two knee replacements, one each stay, at HSS. I was pain-free thanks to intravenous pain medication. This greatly helped my frame of mind stay positive. The food was not like hospital food. It was actually very good. As a result, I have become a fan of Activia yogurt, which I had never tasted before coming to HSS. The hospital itself is beautiful and patient rooms very pleasant. I found the staff to be helpful, respectful and good at their jobs. Before my surgery, my right leg veered out from my knee. I now have a straight leg! Overall, it was a pleasure to stay there, and my new name for HSS is Hotel for Special Surgery.
