Meniscus Tear (Torn Meniscus)

Patti Freda

I had torn my meniscus as a result of many half marathon races. I went to HSS and Dr. Sutton completely understood my passion to get back to my biking and running. She made every effort to use non-surgical solutions, but we did eventually end up with surgery. I had the best experience from pre-op to post-op with all the medical resources and office staff at HSS. Everyone was so understanding and took the time to take really great care of me. I had my surgery on April 3rd and was back on my bike by early July. I actually took first place in my age group in the Tour de Greenwich 20 mile bike race on 9/15. That would not have been possible without all the outstanding care from my HSS team. I HIGHLY recommend HSS!!
