The reverse shoulder replacement surgery was a fantastic success. I no longer experience any pain and have full use of that arm.

Dr John is amazing. I’ve been seeing him for about 8 months for a partial thickness tear. The tear is still healing but I can’t say enough great things about Dr. John and all his staff. I always know exactly what is going on with my treatment. No matter how busy he is Doc always take the time to explain everything thoroughly and make sure I understand. If I could give him 10 stars, I would!!!!

Dr Mehalik really listens to my concerns and has, thus far, taken my age, my medical history and has listened to my issues in order to make the best possible decisions with my future years ahead. I truly trust his expertise and caring.
