Dr. Gausden is an exceptional surgeon who is responsive and personable, and she reflects the expertise and care one expects from HSS physicians – as does her staff.

John Fernandes

I had pain in both hips, both knees and both ankles. It was traced to my right hip. Together with my surgeon, I decided a total hip replacement was needed. Now, four weeks later, I have full mobility and no pain.

Elizabeth B. Gausden, MD, is an exceptional surgeon who is responsive and personable, and she reflects the expertise and care one expects from HSS physicians – as does her staff. I have already recommended Dr. Gausden and her team to friends who are considering hip surgery, and I will continue to do so.
