Knee Replacement

Paul Elmlinger

I have had (I am still doing rehab at HSS) a fantastic experience with my knee replacement and rehab at HSS.

Dr. Della Valle and his team are superb in every respect, from the expert surgery and care to the pre- and post-op process including their responsiveness and kindness.

And I wish to compliment Olivia Wuest at HSS Midtown Rehab. She is the best physical therapist. It isn’t just her experience and skills – which are formidable – but it is also her style: she really works to understand her clients and then to customize their care accordingly. And on top of all that, she is a warm, kind person. Of course, that doesn’t preclude her from being direct and clear when she needs to be! When you put that all together, we have the ideal physical therapist.
