Danyal H. Nawabi, MD

"I'm a very active 61 year old male and tore my hip labrum training to climb Kilimanjaro. 2 Local orthopedics treated me but did not recommend surgery due to my age. They both said to just lay off it. NOT WHAT I WAS PREPARED TO DO. I have too many physical activities I thoroughly enjoy. A friend highly recommended I go to HSS for another opinion. I did and Dr. Nawabi thought I was a good candidate for surgery based on my actual condition, not age. The arthroscopic surgery went flawlessly and I've had zero pain the first two weeks of recovery. I'm very excited to complete my rehab so I can get back to living my life on my terms and not just lay off it. I am so grateful to Dr. Nawabi and his entire HSS team and urge anyone unsure if surgery is right for you to get their opinion. They are the best at what they do."

"Dr. Nawabi performed two Hip Arthoscopies on me to address bilateral labrum tear and CAM impingments. Prior to surgery I would describe my condition as managing chronic hip pain and severly limited in terms of daily and active life. After rehab on both surgeries my day to day experience is significantly improved and my participation in sports and recreational activity has returned to normal. I am an endurance runner and I was worried how surgery might affect my performance but after completing rehab and recommitting myself to my training routine my performance has actually improved post-surgery. Dr. Nawabi instilled the confidence in me to pursue the surgery and helf up his end of the bargain remarkably. Thanks very much to him and his staff at HSS. You can trust they put your health and accomplishments at the forefront of medical care and decision making."

"I could never accurately convey in words just how amazing Dr. Nawabi is. He was my second opinion Dr and I knew within 5 minutes that he was the one that would help me. Choosing a surgeon, especially the right surgeon, is such a huge decision as your future quality of life is literally in his/her hands. My gut told me Dr. Nawabi was the one. Even though it's a 5 Hour drive to his location, as I live in a different part of New York State, he is worth it. His confidence and humility just made me feel so much better. After he performed total hip replacement on one of my hips, I couldn't believe that I had zero pain from the moment I woke up. I never took pain meds and I didn't have swelling anywhere. My physical therapist was truly amazed and I actually was doing light hikes at the six week mark. It's only a matter of time before my other hip needs to be replaced and I promise you I will follow Dr Nawabi to the ends of the Earth to have it done with him! I trust him with my life!"
