I would recommend anyone to HSS because of their professional skills

Jul 29, 2026
Dr. Gwo-Chin Lee and the entire team at HSS exceeded my expectations. Dr. Lee is an outstanding surgeon—knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely committed to providing the highest level of care. He took the time to answer my questions and made me feel confident throughout the process. The staff was equally exceptional: professional, friendly, organized, and attentive from my first visit through my follow-up care. Every interaction reflected the high standards that HSS is known for. Overall, I had an excellent experience and would highly recommend Dr. Lee and Hospital for Special Surgery to anyone seeking outstanding orthopedic care.

Was confident in treating someone of my age where other doctors refused to consider it. Made me confident too.

I live in MD and rely heavily on my portal for correspondence on any questions or concerns that I would have. I am very impressed how quickly I would get responses from Dr. Lee or his staff. Incredible service at all times of the day…even weekends at times!

HSS staff has exceeded expectations from the doctors to the office staff. Everyone has treated me with compassion and professionalism. They took time to answer questions and make me feel that I am not a nuisance. I am grateful to speak with a human and not an AI impersonator! I can see why HSS is ranked #1 in orthopedics and I am looking forward, (well as much as one can), to having my surgery there.
