If you’re considering shoulder surgery, I highly recommend using Dr Bonner. I’ve been seeing Dr Bonner for the past 5 years, he’s always listens to my concerns, has a great positive bedside manner and is an excellent surgeon! He repaired my rotator cuff and biceps and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results! A+++

He has written numerous articles, medical textbook chapters and lectures on topics including arthroscopic shoulder surgery, arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, meniscus repair & transplantation, articular cartilage treatment & repair, osteochondral transplantation, ligament reconstruction of the knee, and stem cells and other biologic treatments. He stresses that vetting new procedures based on scientific methodology and not commercial hype is an important component to his responsibility as a physician.
