Two years ago, Dr. Stieber performed an artificial disc replacement (ADR) in my C5-C6, and…read morebasically gave me my life back. I had been living with increasing pain from a herniated disc that at one point was so bad I thought I'd never work again, let alone watch a movie in a theatre or sit in a plane long enough to take a real vacation. I was on disability from work a couple of times, and had gotten to the point where I thought I was just one of those people destined to take opiates and watch daytime TV for the rest of my life with bad gray roots coming in. At the time, the ADR surgery was pretty new, so we considered a fusion briefly, but I was concerned about loss of mobility. I am so glad I selected this surgery and this surgeon! Dr. Stieber is exceedingly competent but he's also NICE and he cares about his patients as people. For my surgery (performed at NYU), he brought in a fabulous anesthesia specialist who seriously listened to me regarding my tendency to become quiet nauseous with general anesthesia and doubled up on the anti-emetic as a result. I was back at work in just 10 DAYS after the surgery, an amazing feat in my opinion, as I am part of a Facebook group of people who had the same or similar issues and surgeries. I had one of the absolute best experiences of anyone in that group. In fact, my mobility after the surgery is better than it had been in years. I am just so impressed and grateful, and every time i bang my head at karaoke, I think how lucky I am to have had Dr. Stieber as my surgeon. THANK YOU! Also, his office team is great too!

She recommended I look into other possible causes and conditions for my discomfort. Dr. Carter saw past the original foot injury and considered imbalances with my spine, posture and gait.

Helen has been a miracle worker by helping me address my structural imbalances and build my core strength. My posture is better, I have virtually no ankle pain and only mild foot pain - after a strenuous workout. Their office assistants, Jose and Sasha, are some of the most diligent and pleasant professionals I've encountered at an NYC medical practice. Being a patient at Dr. Carter's practice is a pleasure.

I had a blood test done, but the result wasn't available until literally a short while after we'd returned home. We'd already been at the pain doctor's office (part of NYU Langone Health) for quite a long time, and meanwhile we got a call from the surgeon's office; I was told to go to the Urgent Care Center at this hospital immediately, since the blood test result was extremely concerning. As with my recent surgical stay here, *every single person* who took care of me (the lobby receptionist, the radiology technician, two nurses, the medical resident and the attending physician) was SUPERB. I'm continually amazed about the patience and kindness and thoughtfulness of everyone working at this hospital; it's truly incredible.

HSS is top of the line, with the newest medical treatments, I knew I was in great hands. Also, I was happy to know that although he was now my doctor, he was also my surgeon. I remember him calling me after a night of me crying, not knowing what to expect. Is it going to hurt? He told me just calm down have a drink and relax, you will be fine, don't worry. Things like that I really appreciated, I know he is super busy and he took time out of his evening to give me a call to finalize what the tests showed, and calm my nerves. If a hospital experience could be excellent, well then this one was... Everything was absolutely perfect. The hospital was clean, the staff was super friendly and accomodating, it is definitely one of the top rated hospitals in america. Although I was so nervous before surgery, I just remember Dr. Levine telling the anesthesiologist, give her a little cocktail. Next thing I remember I woke up and the surgery was over with! Dr. Levine's staff was super helpful. I knew I was being a pain in the butt when I had a million questions, but they were all very accomodating, especially Daisy. She returned all of my phone calls, emails and got me all the paperwork etc I needed. We had some good laughs and because of her pleasant, professional demeanor, she made the whole experience very easy. My months of follow up visits went well, he encouraged me each and every time and I progressed just as he said I would. My physical therapists were impressed and all said your doctor is amazing.

I had two failed surgeries before this and had a limp. Couldn't walk longer than 20 minutes without feeling extreme pain and inflammation. I needed complicated revision surgery - a big toe fusion with two places of fusion instead of one. This surgery also required taking out existing hardware, using a bone graft from the heel and bone marrow from the hip, and even using some cadaver bone (amazing that one can do that! I am also writing a letter of gratitude for the organ donors). The surgery went very well and everything is healing wonderfully. Even two weeks after the surgery, while recovering, i was already in much less pain than i was for ten years prior. I am 6 weeks into recovery and feeling great so far. It will only get better from here. For now I'm just trying to be a "patient patent" and wait until everything fully heals but it looks like soon I will be able to walk without pain. My quality of life will improve tremendously with this restored mobility. Thank you!
