I am very glad I chose Dr Bouvier! He was able to repair a very bad rotator cuff tear and since surgery my shoulder has healed great and feels fine now.

The doctor provided a very thorough examination of my shoulder and took the time to explain everything in great detail. He was knowledgeable, attentive, and made sure I understood what was going on and the recommended next steps. I never felt rushed, and all of my questions were answered clearly. I really appreciated the time and care they put into my visit. I would highly recommend Dr. Bouvier.

It was a 2nd opinion. I was originally told that I needed a collarbone repair and shoulder replacement from an ski accident in March. After testing with Dr Bouvier he suggested to leave the collarbone as is because there is no pain and the scar tissue is securing it. Also he felt I was not a candidate for a shoulder replacement. The pain problem is a winged scapula. Though there is arthritis in my shoulder joint, some sort of injection will help with that and PT will help with both. I was very relieved that a 3 month down time was ruled out. I'm so glad I searched out for a second opinion!

Dr. Bouvier was very thorough in examining my right knee issue, explaining what he was doing and the next steps going forward.
Dr. Daniel Bouvier’s experience in high school began his interest in medicine.
“I became interested in medicine toward the end of high school when I took a class called anatomy and physiology. I was also an athlete in high school and college. I became interested in medicine first, then I started thinking about who takes care of the athletes. The natural progression got me to orthopedic surgery.”
Dr. Bouvier’s subspecialty is sports medicine. “Knees and shoulders are what I do the most of. Rotator cuff repairs and ACL reconstructions are probably my two favorite things to do.”
With his focus on ACL reconstruction, Dr. Bouvier has become concerned about the increase in ACL tears in female athletes.
“ACL injuries in female athlete is a problem. We know how to fix them, we know how to do the surgery, but we need to do more in terms of prevention and aftercare. I’m really interested in trying to teach these kids how to move more properly, how to strengthen the right muscle groups so we can cut down on the incidents of young female athletes with ACL injuries.
