Dr. O’Malley took his time to explain the issues, options for treatment, and answered my questions so that we could determine course of care. His concern during the surgery was kind and sympathetic. He followed ip with a number of calls to see how I was feeling.

I struggled with shoulder pain, until shots wouldn't calm the pain. Dr. O'MALLEY looked at x-rays and told me I was a candidate for reverse shoulder surgery. He performed it, and I'm happy as can be.Seriously, since surgery I have had almost zero pain. I'm getting p/t and very satisfied with Emerge Ortho.
