By far was the best experience I ever had with an orthopedic surgeon. All the work I had done in both my shoulders. I am pain free and have complete range of motion. I have full use of both my arms.

Great results. I've now had Dr K do two of three orthopedic surgeries. I've been very diligent with PT after all three surgeries. The left knee and left shoulder that he worked on both had severe damage, but they are now better than before surgery. The Dr that performed the surgery on my right shoulder, had less damage to deal with and poorer results. Hopefully I will not need a fourth orthopedic surgery, but if I do, I'm coming back to Dr K.
