Patient Story of: Jenna Ginsburg

When I tore the labrum in my right hip, it felt like my world had been upended. As someone who loves being active, I found that an injury like this completely changed my daily life. Instead of going for a run or even taking a pain-free walk, I was consumed with questions about whether I would ever get back to the active life I loved.

Injuries are scary. There are so many unknowns and "what-ifs" that take up space in your mind, draining you both physically and mentally.

From our very first meeting, I knew I was in extraordinary hands with Stephanie Swensen Buza, MD, who immediately eased my worries. She and her team bring impeccable knowledge and a constant, reassuring smile. Throughout the whole process, my questions – whether they were medical, scheduling or insurance-related – were always answered quickly, and I was given all the information I needed.

Dr. Buza is an incredible doctor and a brilliant surgeon, and my recovery was made so much easier because of the fantastic job she did repairing my torn labrum.

With her care and months of physical therapy, I was able to rebuild my strength and compete in the Chicago Triathlon on the one-year anniversary of my surgery.

Thank you so much to Dr. Buza and her team, who guided me through a daunting injury and helped rebuild not only my body but my confidence, too.
