My appointment today was a follow-up to a previous appointment related to a right shoulder injury experienced while traveling in late October and some continued discomfort and limits to function. Dr. Dare in the initial appointment administered a steroid injection that pretty much returned the shoulder to previous function. The follow-up visit was, as had been the first visit, professional and very helpful to the patient in evaluating the progress made and his assessment going forward which was to continue upper body exercising in the direction discussed. Comment to an additional injection if discomfort or functional limitations reoccurred was discussed. This was an excellent and most patient helpful visit.
Excellent care by Dr Dare.
Dr. Dare’s PA - Andrew - is always extremely helpful, informative and kind. I don’t ever want to see him, but when I do he always takes time to address my concerns and put me at ease.
Dr. Dare listened to me, had me go through different range of motion movements and listened again! I felt his course of treatment was the right path for me after he laid out all the reasoning.
Dr Dare is an excellent Shoulder Surgeon. The recommendations I received from friends brought me to Dr Dare and he lived up to the expectations. Excellent staff as well! Very impressed with Raleigh Orthopaedic Sugery Center!
He was very nice.
Dr Dare is an Excellent Surgeon. I broke my shoulder in three places. I am so pleased with him and Raleigh Orthopedic for the care that I received.
He and his team were outstanding
He was available before the surgical day as well as on the surgery day to personally answer questions and came highly recommended from another health professional that I use.
Attentive, intelligent, interested, positive, ; the best!
