The best orthopedic surgeon, period.
My visit? I assume you mean my hip resurfacing surgery. So, I had my right hip resufaced by Dr Su in 2019 and it became like new pretty quicly. 6 years later my right hip feels like it felt like when I was 20 years old. It is absolutely perfect in every aspect. 2 weeks ago I had my left hip resurfaced again by Dr Su and I already forget I had the operation done so recently. I forget because I don't feel anything bad on my left hip, it already feels fantastic and I walk miles every day. Yesterday I walked 7 miles and never thought about my left hip, it just felt fine like to right one. It is simply amazing, for lack of better words. Dr Su has incredible skills and knowledge as a surgeon in the operatory room and bedside. To sum it up, he is one of the very best in the world.

Great Doctor
I traveled from Turkey to HSS for my hip pain. Dr Moley used pain management priducts for 6-7 years and then he recommended me Dr Su who was incredible. I had my first hip replacement in June 2015 and able to ski in 8 months danced in Cuba in 6 months. I had my second hip replacement after 9 years which I am very happy.Dr Su and his staff were very good at what they do and very nice to me,listened and answered all my questions and very organized. I had very quick recovery walked and climbed the stairs on the same day. Thanks to Dr Su and his team. Also I can understand now why HSS ranked #1

AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL
Dr. Su ruined my life. As a 30 year-old I had my hip resurfaced with Dr. Su. 2 weeks after surgery I ended up in the emergency room with a completely swollen butt, unable to move my operated leg. Dr. Su brushed me off and called it a flare up. He did not take me seriously, as HSS physicians tend to think they know everything. 3 years after surgery I am now having another surgery because my bone where the implant attached is chipping. Thanks Dr. Su for brushing me off, not caring about me as a human being, and having me spend over $100k out of pocket to figure out what was going on. You took and oath, but I guess that oath doesn't extend to anything that happens due to your actions. If you want to be talked down to and not taken seriously, this is the place for you. If you want your life ruined, this is the place for you. If you want people who care about you as a human being, this is NOT the place for you.

Dr. Su is amazing !!
I have given Dr. Su five stars, because I can’t give 10. Quite simply, he is the best orthopedic surgeon in America. I did my second total hip replacement with Dr. Su on Monday. On Tuesday, I walked out of my building with my wife, on our way to lunch, I was walking so well that the building manager asked when I would be doing my surgery. The surgery and recovery were amazing.

Miracle - hip resurfacing
Looking forward to my 3rd ski season with my resurfaced hip, which feels completely natural and gives me no limitations. Dr Su performed a miracle on me. Thank you Dr Su! See my full review with some photos on the HSS website.

10 Year Post op Hip resurfacing
I have had a hip resurfacing done at HSS. I came from Philadelphia after having multiple other opinions. I was quite young at the time (56 years old) and heard that this would be a better outcome for someone such says myself was very active had An average golfer. I went for a total of four opinions and from the moment I met Dr. Su I instantly knew that he was the right one for me. He was extremely confident in his ability to help me solve my painful problem. I was unable to walk without pain prior to the surgery from a car accident. I was very faithful with the postop instructions in and therapy and did aquatic therapy which I would recommend for anyone has it helped tremendously to accelerate my rehab. I am now more than a decade post operative and doing well playing golf and the hip gives me no issues at all. Throughout the whole process Dr. Sue and his office or professional and compassionate. Additionally in the nursing care at HSS cannot be beat. I just had to have another s

Wonderful! Dr. Su is a great Dr.! He took his time, listened & didn’t rush me out the door. He answered all my questions & explained everything. I don’t need surgery @ this time which was a relief. Dr. Su suggested I see a colleague which I plan to do. Many thanks to this caring Dr. & his wonderful staff. We need more doctors like him!

Before my hip resurfacing I researched every procedure and option for 6 months before deciding upon Hip Resurfacing. 3 yrs ago I had one of 2 hips resurfaced I am 100% sure that when the time comes the 2nd hip resurfacing surely be performed by Dr Su. Dr Su's staff was both kind and patient I was totally impressed with the level of care in the office and at the hospital regarding aftercare Dr Su listened to everything all my concerns without the feeling of my being rushed through my office visits. This was my 1st time in a hospital and my 1st medical procedure at age 60 On the day of my procedure I felt 100% relaxed and confident that I chose the best of the best doctor and hospital The after care was top notch I would highly recommend HSS & Dr Su to anyone who asked where to go for major surgery Thank You Dr Su

After years of pain and discomfort, I booked an appt. with Dr. Su for my knee. After consultation with Dr Su, it was decided a total knee replacement would be beneficial to my life. Had surgery in Nov. 2019 and have to say it was the best thing I have done. Dr su did a fantastic job, no pain, walking day after surgery and my life is back to where I can do the things I want. I thank Dr Su for giving me my life back!

Six years after having both hips resurfaced at age 59 (4 months apart) I feel that I still lead an active, unrestricted life. Prior to the surgeries I could barely walk. Right after the surgery, there was some swelling and stiffness, but nothing I would call pain. I’m a big guy (230lbs.), but rehab was a breeze and I remain pain free.

Outstanding surgeon. Dr. Su did wonders for my husband and for me. I never thought that a hip replacement would be so easy and pain free. I was walking within days and was back to full activities within months. Dr. Su is a truly gifted surgeon and a kind and caring person.

I am tremendously impressed with Dr Su. He detected (with no help from me) that I wasn't having knee problems, but rather, I was having back problems which were manifesting themselves through my knees. Which TOTALLY shocked me....my back felt fine He ordered MRI's, which confirmed his hunch. However, as he's a knee a hip man, not a back man, he passed me along to 1 of 3 back doctors, the choice being mine. I am still tremendously impressed with him.

Dr. Su changed my life! Seriously. Dr. Su, his associates and staff are all amazing people. And, everyone at HSS was fantastic. I had a hip re-surfacing 2 months ago. I was walking almost immediately after surgery and was only mildly uncomfortable...no real pain. Two months out and I feel amazing. I am singing their praises to anyone who will listen. My cousin in California needs hip surgery and I'm insisting she come to NYC, HSS and Dr. Su.

Surgeon skill and experience are the central considerations when having a hip resurfaced. Dr. Su's skill and experience are unsurpassed. I would not trust any other doctor to perform my resurfacing. I am five weeks out of surgery and have resumed all normal daily activities. I've been pain free from the moment I awoke after the procedure. My smooth recovery is largely a testament to his skill. If you're considering a hip resurfacing, make an appointment with Dr. Su. You'll be glad you did!

Dr. Su is an amazing surgeon! I livein Charleston South Carolina and travelled to New York City to have Dr. Su do bilateral hip replacements. I am a physician myself and I knew that Dr. Su would do the best job possible for me. Just 2 weeks ago I had both hips done and my recovery has been a breeze. I know that it is the expertise of Dr. Su that is allowing me to have such a great recovery. Before my surgery, I could hardly walk and just after two weeks, I am walking city blocks.
