Excellent care for a complicated total reverse shoulder replacement. Interactions with the doctor were respectful and inclusive. I could not have expected better care.

Excellent Doctor. Very detailed oriented and gives great explanations of what is going on with you. Surgically rebuilt my arm and left it good as new, like the injury never happened.

The man is a genius in his spialazed field. He advised against surgery and focused on slow rehab now I'm moving on to strengthen my idiotic personal mistake. Take his advice, he knows his gift, listen. Not payed just satisfied guy making progress at 53 yo.
