"Dr. Deland changed my life. After receiving my first ankle replacement in 1977 at age 29, I had continual pain for years. At age 67, I was barely able to walk. I chose Dr. Deland to perform my second replacement at Hospital for Special Surgery. It was the best decision I ever made. I experienced little to no pain and am now able to enjoy my daily activities. I decided not to retire as I am now able to work every day at my construction company. I have the deepest respect and praise for Dr. Deland." - FC

"On July 3rd, 2014, I had a bunionectomy done by Dr. Deland after delaying my surgery for many years because I was looking for the right time and the right surgeon. I was referred to Dr. Deland by one of my staff. My surgery was successful and I am very pleased."

"After being diagnosed with PTT, I had been told by three orthopedic (and one podiatric) foot and ankle surgeons that they could not help me and that I would be unable to walk within two years. When I found Dr. Deland, I was tremendously relieved to see that PTT is a principal research interest for him and that he has developed surgical procedures through many years to achieve successful results.

I traveled across the country for my initial appointment. He explained in detail what he could do surgically to renew my ability to walk. I am deeply indebted to him for his depth of knowledge, diagnostic skills, surgical innovations and expertise which have provided me with the gift of being able to walk well. I also appreciate his clear and thorough explanation in response to all of my questions as well as his dedication and concern for his patients. I am grateful for the profound difference Dr. Deland’s surgery and care have made in my life."

"I feel 10 years younger! Dr. Deland is a compassionate, extraordinary surgeon. Within 7 months , I've met Dr. Deland, had a successful total ankle replacement and skied on seven occasions. I ski, walk, bike, swim, and sleep pain free. Just awesome. I believe I had a successful T.A.R. because of Dr. Deland’s remarkable, awesome, practical talent. I will recommend him to everyone. Thank you Dr. Deland."

"I recently had total ankle replacement surgery by Dr. Jonathan Deland. During the planning time for the operation, Dr. Deland called me twice on a Sunday to talk about my concerns regarding the operation. Although the immediate recovery in the hospital was a bit difficult, once I got home my recovery went smoothly. After three weeks there was no need for pain medication and I am now starting physical therapy 4 weeks out of surgery, and I am not in pain. I can't say enough about Dr. Deland's staff. They are professional but also thoughtful and concerned with my recovery. I would suggest Dr. Deland to any of my friends."
