I also had knee surgery a few years back, also torn menisus. I regret not getting surgery early enough (I had my injusry for 8 months before it was fixed)
I went to Dr. Anne Kelly of Hospital for Special Surgery. Their office is across the street from Nassau Coliseum at 333 Earle Ovington Blvd. She only does surgeries in the city hospital and specializes in knees and elbows only.
I can't recommend her or HSS enough, like LoveyDovey. Many people I know have needed complex orthopedic procedures there, and all of the doctors associated with HSS are top-notch.
Gracias I will tkae this into cosideration too chica Thanks

V before I was diagnosed, I was scared too!!!!! The unknown is far worse then the truth and you are really doing a disservice to yourself by not going to the doctor. I know that you are scared and I understand completely, but this is something that you need to do for urself! I am here if you need anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES RENDEL! THAT IS WHAT SCARES ME!
THE UNKNOWN!!! I am scared!!!!!!

Re: NWR: Orthopedic Surgery... & encouragement!
I have been seeing an orthopedic surgeon for about 3 months now for my shoulder. He wanted me to try different options before surgery. He has me going to physical therapy and gave me a cortisone shot which helped for a little bit but now it bad again so im going to see him in February and they'll do an MRI to see if i need surgery.
The place is Winthrop Orthopedic Associates. My doctor is doctor Mark Grossman. He has an office in Garden City and I believe 1 in Levittown on Hempstead tpke. FM me for the phone number.
