Making the decision to move forward with PT and:or surgery is frightening at the onset. You have to give up control and trust someone to fix what you can’t. Know this: when you choose Dr. Farmer, or any doctor on his team, you’re getting those trustworthy, knowledgeable, and dedicated people who will give you every opportunity and take every action necessary to keep you moving. It’s their mission, not only in statement, but in practice.I’ve had the opportunity to continue doing the things I love (and even basic daily tasks) for the last 25+ years because of Dr Farmer and his team. Even after I was told my shoulder would be fused, he found a way with Dr Mahalik. I will never forget the almost 2 hours of consultation, compassion, and clear vision they described to go into That surgery. After more than 22 years I still have almost full rotation and full use of my shoulder and after several knee surgeries and back treatment I still hike!
Gratitude LONG overdue.
