Dr. Basamania is exceptional! After several orthopedists recommended shoulder replacement surgery, he confidently advised against it. Thanks to his expertise and guidance, my shoulder motion is almost fully restored without surgery. I'm grateful I trusted him and highly recommend him to anyone seeking orthopedic care.
