We came to Dr. Deland’s office from Florida for a second opinion about possible surgery for a flat foot disorder. After the initial visit I knew right away that surgery was necessary and that I wanted Dr. Deland to perform the procedures. He was thorough, understandable and passionate about what his expertise is in as a surgeon. His physician’s assistant, Justin, is just as impressive with his timely responses to all our questions we had before and after surgery and now my recovery. The office staff has always been wonderful and accommodating. HSS is a top notch hospital and Dr. Deland is an excellent surgeon. I know I made the right choice.
