My surgeon was excellent, she was friendly, professional and inspired confidence, and judging from my recovery two weeks out, and from what I read in her surgery report, a real pro completing the job in 1 hour 12 minutes. Nothing short of impressive imo!

I appreciated that she called my wife after the surgery to tell her everything went well. Sometimes physicians forget that there are other people involved. Thank you Dr. Gausden.

Dr. Gausden replaced my right hip two years ago and I was initially terrified to have the procedure. She made is simple and as easy as possible for me with minimal pain and a truly speedy recovery. The same is fast becoming true for my left hip, which Dr. Gausden replaced two weeks ago. She and her team are the absolute best.

My experience at HSS as a whole is always top notch. From the moment you walk in the front doors of the hospital, every person treats you with courtesy, professionalism and efficiency. Specifically at Dr. Gausden's office you can add personable, understanding and supportive. Dr. Gausden's exceptional skill as a surgeon is matched by her deep expression of care for her patient, and mirrored in her immediate support staff.
Dr. G: top doc + top human = best of the best.
