In October 2016 I was knocked over during a night out in New York City and dislocated and fractured my ankle. The following week, I went to HSS and met with Dr. Wellman. Right away he was very positive and optimistic with my options. He was able to fit me into his schedule four days later (10/24/2016) and inserted eight screws and a plate into my ankle. I have been going to PT at HSS for the past three months, seeing Erica Fritz. One month after surgery I was walking on my own without a boot or crutches. I am now able to walk and run without any pain! Thanks to everyone at HSS that has helped be get back on my feet so quickly!
