Cynthia A. Kahlenberg, MD, MPH

"I recently had a left hip replaced on January 26th. Dr. Kahlenberg and her team were extremely helpful and very efficient. Her team, Franklin, Megan, Chelsea, Kristine, Marleny, Hannah, JR, Rica, Dr. Liu and Alyssa were all a part of a very competent and professional team. Having gone through double knee replacement years ago I wasn't sure what to expect with hip replacement. In/out and home by midday. Once home, I found first day to be a little rough, as to be expected. Every day there after I recovered in leaps and bounds. Was only taking Tylenol on day three. I am now on day 11 and relatively pain free. I am able to go up and down stairs with no issues. My only concern is that I feel well enough to do most anything. I have to keep telling myself to relax and let my body heal. I would highly recommend Dr. Kahlenberg and her team."

"I came to HSS this spring with crippling sciatica and a recommendation from my west coast ortho highly recommending this place. A spinal fusion by Dr. Evan Sheha earlier in the year was successful in his care and that of his highly capable team, but I learned I also needed a hip replacement to achieve a full recovery of my mobility. He referred me to his colleague, Cynthia Kahlenberg, and I received the best care one could ask for. From the thorough review and diagnosis, to the prep leading up to the procedure, to the procedure itself, Dr. Kahlenberg listened, answered all my questions, was available by phone and my chart and delivered an exceptional result. Minimal post op pain, very quick recovery time, and great follow up by her team and the physical therapists she arranged in home and in my home town. My other health providers also let me know I was in great hands with Dr. Kahlenberg; she is respected by her colleagues. I would recommend both Dr. Kahlenberg and Dr. Sheha without reservation."

"I saw Dr Kahlenberg in October for total hip replacement. I have never had such a positive experience with the medical community. There is no one else I would see for joint replacement! Dr Kahlenberg and her team made this experience simple. The ease with which I navigated all aspects of this surgery was incomparable. Everything is laid out for the patient, simple and straightforward. Everything was organized. I was made to feel at ease. The surgery was absolutely the best. In less than two weeks I was walking around without any assist. The scar is minimal. I had very little pain. Dr Kahlenberg has a great bedside manner. All of my questions were answered. I was at ease through the entire process. The medical secretary, Hunter, was on top of every aspect of what I needed pre and post op. Maria and Ashley were extremely helpful. I can't name everyone who helped me, but they were all wonderful. Dr Kahlenberg is an excellent surgeon with a fantastic staff. The Stamford Hospital/HSS setting for the surgery was fantastic. I highly recommend this team, and would not go anywhere else!"
