Satisfaction With Care at HSS

It is very important to us that every patient at Hospital for Special Surgery has an outstanding experience while in our care.

To assess our performance, we offer patients an opportunity to complete a Press Ganey satisfaction survey, which asks a full range of questions regarding quality of care and service delivery, including questions about nursing care, pain control while in the hospital, and physician quality.

"The people who work at this hospital
are people that actually leave
foot prints in your heart forever."

- Celine Read, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
