As a physician myself, I deeply appreciate not only the medical expertise but also the genuine compassion and dedication of Dr. Virk and the entire HSS team.

Hyginus Ngassa

In August, I had cervical spine surgery at HSS, followed by physical therapy. From admission through recovery, the entire medical team was exceptional and provided excellent care with kindness and professionalism.

I owe special thanks to Dr. Sohrab Virk, an exceptional surgeon and a truly compassionate physician. Dr. Virk was attentive and reassuring. He was always available to answer my questions and address my concerns promptly – before surgery and throughout my recovery.

Thanks to the care I received, my symptoms have improved tremendously, my walking is almost back to normal and I have returned to work.

As a physician myself, I deeply appreciate not only the medical expertise but also the genuine compassion and dedication of Dr. Virk and the entire HSS team. I will always be grateful and I wholeheartedly recommend HSS.
