A Center of Excellence

I am writing this letter to bring to your attention the fine work of Dr. Elton Strauss.
On September 22, Dr. Strauss did a hip replacement of an existing failed prosthesis on my mother, an 87-year-old patient with a number of risk factors beyond her age; including a triple heart valve replacement also done at Mt. Sinai many years ago by Dr. Landsman. She was in constant pain, and I can honestly say, found her life unlivable. After thoroughly pointing out in detail the risks involved, Dr. Strauss agreed to take on her case. His level of skill as a surgeon can only be matched by his level of compassion. My mom had a bit of a rough time with her recovery but is now doing well. We can thank Dr Strauss for making her life livable again and will be forever grateful for his "pushing the envelope" in the interest of compassionate care.
