Patient Reviews

Feb 03, 2025

I recently underwent right knee TKA surgery at HSS. Dr. Fred Cushner performed the surgery. He was masterful with computer assisted medial approach to the knee wherein he was able to go underneath the quad muscle to gain access to the joint. His surgical technique was exquisite. After discussions with Dr. Cushner, I opted for the Persona IQ smart knee prosthetic. The app and exercises that were recommended to me because I had the smart knee significantly increased compliance to exercises and propelled my well-being. My recovery at 6 weeks post -surgery has been gratifying. I made to Dr. Cushner's follow up appointment at HSS from NJ by train and subway. Dr. Cushner and his team were engaged and responsive before and after the surgery. He and his staff called me immediately when I had questions post-surgery. Committing to physical therapy pre-surgery also helped a lot. My wife also had arthroscopic knee surgery by Dr. Cushner. Overall, I highly recommend Dr. Cushner.
