On The Hospital's Response

As reported by People, the Hospital for Special Surgery has denied the claims. A representative said, "HSS received a complaint filed on behalf of Mr. Trevor Noah. We have shared with Mr. Noah's attorney a detailed rebuttal to the claims, which are meritless."

"Due to HIPAA we are restricted by law from addressing publicly specific aspects of the treatment of any patient." They continued, "This commitment has made HSS the world's leading academic medical center specialized in musculoskeletal health, consistently ranked #1 in orthopedics globally and nationally."

Yet, the suit did not name a specific amount of damages Noah is seeking.

Meanwhile, NBC News was able to find Dr. Williams' profile on the Hospital for Special Surgery's website stating that he specializes in "knee, shoulder and elbow surgery." He has also worked as medical director and head team orthopedic surgeon for the sports teams, NBA Brooklyn Nets and WNBA New York Liberty.
