Patient Testimonial
"I have been suffering from bone-on-bone arthritis pain in my knee for several months. I went to see Dr. Harary based on a recommendation from my husband, who just completed a series of shots and had praised Dr. Harary and the shots for helping reduce his hip pain dramatically. Dr. Harary suggested I try a series of lubricating shots to help with the pain and put fluid around the knee joints. I've just completed my last shot and I have noticed a major decrease in the pain level in my knee already. It is much easier to walk and perform daily chores now. Dr. Harary is an excellent Sports Medicine physician and pain specialist and listened to everything I told him about my problem. He gave me the shots using a sonogram to make sure the lubricant was being directed to the troubled area of my knee. No guesses here. I recommend Dr. Harary to anyone in pain who needs a top Orthopedic Sports Medicine Specialist. Also, his office staff are first rate, courteous, and helpful. "

Ultrasound Guided Injections
Ultrasound-guided injections assure that the medication is accurately injected at the intended site. Despite good intentions, even in the most experienced hands, blind (injections performed without imaging) injections are not 100% accurate and in some joints, accuracy is as low as 30%-40%.
With ultrasound guidance, the accuracy of nearly every joint injection exceeds 90% and approaches 100% in many.
Additionally, ultrasound-guided injections have been shown to be less painful than blind injections. Ultrasound injections also have the advantage of giving “real time” and “dynamic” feedback that the patient and the doctor can see and use immediately. The doctor is able to watch the desired treatment being delivered to the intended target and even visualize surrounding structures both before during and even after the procedure.
