The picture attached: My son and me after a day of hard skiing in Sun Valley. It was the first day in three years I was able to ski---and, for that, I have Dr. Fealy at HSS to thank.

After an initial and unsuccessful rotator cuff surgery performed locally, I was referred to Dr. Fealy at HSS. Before seeing him, I openly wondered if I would ever be able to return to my days as an active recreational skier, golfer and runner.

Dr. Fealy, through his tremendous efforts gave me back an active life. More importantly, he gave me back the ability to experience special family moments like the one pictured with my son. I will forever be indebted to Dr. Fealy and to HSS.
