Dr. Shen took the time to answer all my questions, addressed every concern about my hip dysplasia and eased my mind as I made the hard decision to have hip replacement surgery.

At 52, I was on the verge of needing a wheelchair. I could barely walk. Before coming to HSS, I consulted two other surgeons, and neither gave me a clear answer.

Then I found Dr. Tony Shen – an exceptional surgeon and a compassionate person. Dr. Shen took the time to answer all my questions, addressed every concern about my hip dysplasia and eased my mind as I made the hard decision to have hip replacement surgery.

Today I am six weeks post-op and healing well – walking miles! When it's time to replace my other hip, I know exactly where I'm going.
