Leg Injuries and Conditions

Teresa Szymanek

After having two botched surgeries in 5 months at one of the Brooklyn hospitals I decided to seek second opinion and was very lucky to meet Dr. Della Valle who saved my leg and gave me back my life. Immediately after surgery I felt that there is no burning and pain in my leg as I experienced after two previous surgeries. The recovery itself was faster and gradually pain was gone. I am blessed and thankful each day. To me, it was miracle surgery because I almost lost my hope that I will be able to walk again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr. Della Valle and HSS.
