I was going to Rush Hospital to Dr. Berger for surgery---- until I met my surgeon at HSS!

Best decision I ever made was to stay with HSS, who was recommended to me through MDVIP.

He was FANTASTIC beyond expectation. I had the best team under his direction.

My surgery was on New Years Eve and I was home for lunch the next day. I never took pain medicine or used a walker. I only used the cane for about 3 days (my husband insisted). Two weeks later I was walking in the snow for over 2 miles. I haven't walked without pain in a year.

Two months after surgery I was traveling to 4 different countries for 3 weeks. Golf season is looking really good! Thanks to HSS!
