New York, NY
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Share this Story
When I first came to HSS, I could hardly walk and was literally in tears. I have rheumatoid arthritis, I could hardly move my arms and I had an infant to care for that needed constant lifting and attention. My nature is to be full of energy and keep pushing forward but it was becoming impossible. Dr. Siegel was so thorough and really took the time to figure out exactly what was going on in my body and set out an action plan that had me walking and full of energy again very soon after my first visit.
Social worker, Baptiste Nicolas, LCSW, also went above and beyond by explaining services that were available to me that I had no idea existed.
Both Dr. Siegel and Baptiste have always been available for my questions and concerns even between appointments. Dr. Siegel is an incredible doctor. I can dance down the street with my kids again and to HSS I owe this joy.
