He just performed a second surgery for me. I have had both rotary cuffs repaired and would highly recommend him to others. He is a caring, knowledgeable Dr that does not rush to perform surgery and takes his time to make sure you understand what he is going to do. Hopefully I will not need him again; however, I would certainly be calling his office if the need presented itself.

Very dismissive. I did not appreciate the lack of empathy and follow up. I will be seeking a second opinion. I’m sure he is a great surgeon however “bedside manner” is seriously lacking.

Dr. Cadet did a great job on my reverse shoulder replacement. Four and a half months and I am almost 100% back to normal. Thank you.
