I would like to thank you sincerely for the great care that you have provided me. I am deeply grateful to both of you and all your wonderful clinic and hospital team.

Dr. Hyman diagnosed my problem right away. I had surgery a couple of months later and now after 2 years I feel like a new person.

Since Dr. Hyman operated on my left hip I’ve been able to walk better, longer, and with better ease than I could ever imagine.

I thank God every day that I had that surgery since I have finally gotten rid of the pain that has kept me awake at night for years.

I appreciate you taking the time to educate me about my injury. I also appreciate the kindness and professionalism of the entire staff at Atlanta Sports Medicine.

Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. For the first time in approximately a year and a half I am pain free.

I appreciate the attentive, professional care and could not envision a better experience. I truly am thankful to be under your care.
