She’s very thorough and I appreciate her diagnosis help with my shoulders. They’re a mess. I’m waiting now to see if I can use it just like it is. I really hate to have another surgery. I don’t do well after surgery. I’ve gotten pneumonia after each of these surgeries for my arm and I’ve had lots of surgery at MD Anderson for cancer. I just try to live without. I appreciate Dr. Jeson‘s thoughts on my shoulder!
She is very attentive and an excellent surgeon.
Absolutely love her❣️
Great physician, excellent care!
Wonderful personality! Answered ally questions.
Dr. Julson is truly awesome. She is down to earth, answered all my questions, is super friendly and has an amazing smile, not to mention she is actually very funny. My surgery went well, she cares about her patients and their well being. I highly recommend her. Thank you Dr. Julson for the great care.
She is an amazing surgeon. I have had no complications and my shoulder is so much better. She has an excellent bed side manner and cares about her patients.
She listens and is kind. She knows her stuff. I have surgery coming up and I know I'll be in the best care possible.
Yesterday was my last follow-up from shoulder replacement surgery, one year ago. I had obliterated my right rotator cuff in a pickleball accident. Dr J rebuilt the shoulder and today I am pain free with excellent movement and rotation! She is a fantastic surgeon and I recommend her enthusiastically!
Nothing but good things to say about Dr. Julson. My shoulder repair was excellent.
