Meniscus Tear (Torn Meniscus)

Laura M. Eppig

I fell while chasing one of my cats, who didn't want to take his pill! I knew I had injured my left knee, but thought it would heal in a few days. After 3 weeks it was obvious that was not to be. I was unable to carry my camera gear without quite a bit of pain. For a nature photographer, this was totally unacceptable! I needed to be back outdoors with my camera & QUICK!

As I'd had EXTREMELY positive results with a hip replacement done by Dr. Amar Ranawat, back to HSS I went to see his brother, Dr. Anil Ranawat.

Everyone at HSS was very kind & knowledgeable. I felt like I was special & important to them, though I knew how very busy they are.

I had the surgery on August 27th,2014. After the required Physical Therapy, I was back out photographing on October 3rd! Dr. Ranawat also recommended Euflexxa injections for my arthritis in my knees, & I am amazed at how effective it has been! I'm absolutely certain that I have the BEST care available when I go to HSS.

I wouldn't go anywhere else for an orthopedic problem. They've proven to me TWICE that they are truly the best.
