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.

Dr Gausden spoke with me before the surgery and answered any additional questions that I had. She also came to my room to see how I was feeling.

Last year, Dr. Gausden replaced my right knee and this year I came back to have her replace the left. She's terrific!

HAS ofers the best care. Dr Gausden and her staff goes above and beyond.

Already provided in previous question. In addition, I chose her because I knew she was a specialist with women with bone density issues. Indeed, she did need to use a specific bone supportive cage on my femur due to osteopenia. She was amazing from beginning to end. I will recommend her to others in need of THR or TKR.

My overall experience at HSS was very positive. I feel that I was given excellent care thanks to Dr. Gausden and her staff. Dr. Gausden is a very genuine and caring physician who I think truly uses a patient-centered approach. I felt that she was easy to talk to and took the time to answer my questions and discuss my case in detail. Thank you.

Courteous and reassuring as to the outcome of the surgery.

I would rate Dr. Gausden higher than a mere 5, she's an 11 at least on this scale. Outstanding professional pre, during and post surgery. Perfect "bedside manner" i.e., positive before and after, encouraging about recovery..

Mar 3, 2026
Good physicians don't have to broadcast their expertise. It was easy to appreciate Dr Gausden's ability by her quiet confidence she had in her explanations and answers to our questions.

Dr. Gausden and her team are a well oiled machine.

Dr Gausden and her staff are exceptional in every way. First Dr. Gausden is absolutely an amazing surgeon. She is so confident in her expertise that it just made me feel confident in doing the surgery which came out very good. I feel so much better after the surgery. 2nd as busy as she is, she takes the time you need to talk to her like a true friend and answer any questions you have. I would have to say she is better than very good. Her staff has been wonderful as well. My calls are always returned and questions answered. Everyone is very polite and helpful. I have often recommended Dr. Gausden at HSS to everyone I meet who has hip pain and curious of who to go to.

I was on the fence about facing knee surgery, but I was convinced by Dr. Gaudsen and her assistant that it was the right thing to do and I was reassured by the way they answered all my questions with courtesy and professionalism.

Jan 23, 2026
Dr. Gausden spoke with me prior to the surgery and again in recovery. I had to stay overnight and she saw me again in the morning prior to my departure. She was fantastic, caring, clearing explanations, and allayed any concerns.

Jan 13, 2026
Dr Gausden's passion and how clearly she studies and keeps up to date on stats and technology is impressive. The way she answered my questions made me feel very confident that she was the best prepared for my surgery. I interviewed four surgeons before the operation- Dr Gausden blew me away. She also runs a tight ship - her team stuck with me every step of the way. After the surgery, Dr Gausden came to tell me the xray looked great, Her enthusiasm delivering this news was perfect. I left the hospital feeling hopeful I was in good hands.
