Hospital for Special Surgery - Joseph C. Hung, MD

"Dr. Hung is a rock star of interventional pain management. He trained at Johns Hopkins and Harvard Mass General and now at HSS in Stamford, I found him to be extremely knowledgeable and effective at treating my spine related football injuries. The entire HSS staff that support Dr. Hung are so professional, efficient and caring so scheduling and insurance matters are manageable. As an interventionalists, Dr. Hung is extremely precise and has been able to achieve a total elimination of my neck and back pain. I will certainly continue to schedule treatments with Dr. Hung when my symptoms recur. You are in good hands with Dr. Hung and the HSS team!"

"Dr. Hung has and continues to be an extremely important navigator and engineer in managing my cervical neck pain. Years ago I had a spinal fusion - a side effects from the gift of arthritis my parents handed down. That surgery was extremely successful and the rehabilitation was easy. However I was warned that once you lock up one area of your spine the pressure increases on the other parts. And now here I am. I have no interest in another surgery, especially with regard to my neck. But Dr. Hung is patiently helping me on this journey. He is kind and brilliant (look at his bio!). I feel that he knows me and really cares. He has been very proactive about making sure I have access to any medications I need for pain management - which is very unusual these days, and so helpful. My appointments have been reassuring but real. Follow up is timely and really not at all difficult to schedule in no small part to Bernadette, his scheduler. She is wonderful as well. In summary I cannot recommend Dr. Hung enough. Good luck on your journey."

"Dr. Joseph Hung at HSS Stamford has been excellent in managing my lower back pain related to L2-L3 and L4-L5 issues. He is thorough, knowledgeable, and takes the time to clearly explain imaging results, treatment options, and next steps without rushing the appointment. I appreciated his thoughtful, conservative approach and how he tailored pain management to my specific condition rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution. The office runs efficiently, and the overall experience felt professional and reassuring. I would highly recommend Dr. Hung to anyone seeking knowledgeable and compassionate spine-related pain management."
