Doctor was thorough and took his time explaining things to me and he had reviewed my xray and MRI in advance . We have a path forward and I’m optimistic about it.

I think Dr. Dare is a very good Dr. I am only 4 days out of shoulder replacement surgery and so far I think I’m doing really good.

I'm a 60 y/o Retired Police Officer from NY. I worked 31 yrs as a Cop from Age 23-54. I played Sports , Did Martial Arts , Worked Out/Exercised , Did Many Activities. I had Many Injuries in My Life. Dr Dare is a Super Intelligent , Compassionate , Caring , Patient , Great Listener Doctor. He Also Has a Fantastic Great Bedside Manor. He's Professional & Thorough In Explaining All The Factors in Your Visit. He Explained My Injury in My Actual MRI Pics & Even Drew Diagrams about the Condition & The Corrective Surgery. He Made Confident About His Abilities. He Explained The Present & Futuristic Possibilities if I didn't do The Necessary Surgery I knew I Needed. I Chose Him Over My Excellent Knee Surgeon from NY. I Would STRONGLY RECOMMEND Dr Dare to Anyone With An Orthopedic Situation/Injury or Condition in Which He Specializes in !!!!!!

Dr. Dare takes his time to explain things and answers questions. He has preformed two rotator cuff surgeries on me (glad I only have two shoulders) with some extras and I would not hesitate to recommend him.
