Ana Barretto

I have been a horseback rider practically since I was born. On March 22, 2016 I fell during a horse jumping competition. The pain in my hip never stopped, so this is where I made an appointment at HSS on October 2016 where Laura Porcella from the international patients department was there for me from the day I made the appointment until my therapies from post-op.

On December of the same year, Dr. Anil Ranawat did a hip arthroscopy on my left side and on April 2017 I was already back in the game. After eleven months without being able to practice, I became once again athlete of the year.

I feel so thankful with the HSS team for helping me get back on my horse even when I thought it was impossible.
