I got my surgery done there about three years back. I am now in more pain in knees and has effected my back and hips
Worst Dr and hospital
Put nickel in my knee , it is swollen as I am allergic to nickel. I am buckling and falling down. Dr ignores all that and lied in my patient portal. Also implant size is wrong. Worst is one surgeon messed you up other surgeons do not want to touch you
They have ruined my life.
Also lot of Dr do not take medicare. So I paid cash for Dr fees. Worst Dr and worst hospital

Been there, done that! I didn't see any difference at HSS. Of the many factors that come into play for a successful knee replacement, location is not at the top of the list. The specfic Ortho who does your knee could be affiliated with any of the wide array of healthcare facilities nationwide, from large hospitals to smaller surgical centers. Many of the best surgeons are among the almost 200,000 a year unsuccessful TKR surgeries. The probability of a successful TKR is in your favor knowing that almost 800,000 a year are successful.

Thanks @elizab
I'm NW of Detroit so I'm looking at Univ of Mich. Very well regarded and has at least 3 who do revision.
