Professional and courteous. Explained the problem very well. Only question I have is X-rays were taken of both shoulder, but were never discussed. Were they necessary ?

He doesn't care about my feelings; regarding the surgical scars I have on my arm. He says that is the way it is when you have surgery. He has no compassion or sympathy to how I was feeling.

Dr. Bates is an exceptional doctor. My shoulder was in extremely poor condition, and I had low expectations for the outcome of revision surgery. However, Dr. Bates did a phenomenal job with the repair, far exceeding my expectations. He is patient, compassionate, and always takes the time to listen to my questions and address my concerns. I am extremely grateful for his skill, dedication, and the excellent care he has provided. I highly recommend Dr. Bates.
