This Doctors Day, we celebrate the kind of care that changes lives far beyond the operating room. ❤️🏥
After years of severe pain, delayed surgery, and six years spent in Greece caring for her mother with Alzheimer’s, Maria traveled to Montefiore Einstein for the knee replacement she had postponed for far too long.
Her daughter, part of our own team at Montefiore Wakefield Campus, helped make the journey possible, placing her trust in Dr. Kim and the Joint Replacement team.
Just days after surgery, Maria was already walking stairs, using only a cane, and experiencing almost no pain.
Maria said it best:
“No other doctor would have been able to fix this knee so well! Nowhere else would I have gotten this care!”
From the Bronx to Greece, this is what compassionate, world-class orthopedic care looks like. It’s expertise patients can feel, and trust that reaches across generations.
Happy Doctors Day to the physicians whose work restores movement, independence, and hope every day.
