I found Dr. BASCHAMANIA to be very friendly and informative. He made us feel very comfortable and relaxed, as well as giving understandable explanations of what was happening in my shoulder. I will also add that his medical assistant was very thorough and helpful. She was kind and willing to answer any of our questions after the appointment about how to proceed.

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.
