Where are you located?
Contact information is listed on our information page.


How can I access Lenox Hill Hospital's website? I tried to access it on your site and was told that the page was not found.
We are based at Lenox Hill Hospital, but do not have any particular insight as to its operation. When we established our website, the hospital did not have a presence on the web, so we maintained an information page for them. Since then, the hospital has established its own site, making the simple page we had redundant. Therefore, we do not maintain this page any longer. If you are looking for the hospital's website, it can be reached at http://www.lenoxhillhospital.org


Where can I get info on the Lenox Hill Hospital derotation brace?
We are not involved in the manufacture or sale of this brace. It is currently handled by the Seattle Orthopedic Group.


Where can I get info on the Nicholas Manual Muscle Tester?
The Nicholas MMT is developed and sold by the Lafayette Instrument Company.


I have [insert medical condition] and was wondering if you could help me.
See your doctor! If you are unsatisfied, see another doctor! Some ideas offered over the Internet based on an e-mail are no substitute for direct, hands-on medical care. If you send us a question, we will endeavor to answer it as time permits and to the best of our abilities, but this is not the proper way to safeguard your health.


I e-mailed the webmaster and nobody ever got back to me. What gives?
The link at the bottom of every page for e-mailing the webmaster is for reporting errors of technical problems with the website. If you have a medical issue, you should see your doctor.


I am interested in volunteering or doing an internship at your facility. How can I apply?
We often have students doing work at our facility, mostly on a volunteer (or sometimes for credit) basis, especially during the summer. If you are interested, send a current CV and a letter containing your interests and the type of work you would be interested in to our Director of Research, Dr. Malachy McHugh at mchugh@nismat.org. Try to avoid sending documents in Microsoft Word (or other word processor) format--Adobe Acrobat, RTF, or just plain text are much preferred.
