Virtually every medicine that is used by the adult rheumatologist - in the appropriate child, with very careful monitoring - is now used by our experienced pediatric rheumatologists with excellent outcomes. With new biologic therapies, many of them tested at Hospital for Special Surgery, along with physical therapy, the disease can be controlled and children can regain normal function.
I was so extremely impressed with Dr Mehta. After meeting with him before my procedure I was so fully aware of my situation and it was such a relief to understand it all. He is very intelligent, patient and well spoken. I am so grateful for him. After the procedure I felt great and have had no pain! Thank you Dr Mehta!
I had the privilege of being under the care of Dr. Larissa Rodriguez, and my experience from the initial consultation through surgery, and one year of follow up has been exceptional. Dr. Rodriguez demonstrated remarkable knowledge, skill, and professionalism throughout every stage of my care. She provided a thorough and clear explanation of my condition, outlining the diagnosis, treatment options and possible outcomes with great detail and understanding. Her ability to communicate complex medical information in a way that was easy to understand made me feel confident and informed in my decisions. Dr. Rodriguez's surgical expertise and compassionate approach truly set her apart. She is patient, attentive, and dedicated to achieving the best possible results for her patients. Her entire team both in office and surgical setting for their professionalism, efficiency, and kindness. Their coordinated efforts and attention to detail made my experience seamless and reassuring. I am deeply grateful for the exceptional care I received, and highly recommend Dr. Rodriguez and her staff to anyone seeking outstanding medical treatment and patient within her Center care. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Thanks🌸Flor-------- Thanks again Samanta, Flor
