Excellent and very professional. Very caring and knowledgeable. Great Dr and I would recommend Him to anyone.
Very professional with my mom in explaining everything! Thank you
Dr. Mease has done 2 shoulder surgeries on me within less than 4 months, and I cannot say enough about him! He has taken the extra time and care during every single visit and the days of surgery to explain the details of each procedure and answer all questions I’ve asked (or could possibly ask). He is professional, kind, and I fully trust him, as well as his PA, Matt Kowash!!! Thank you both sincerely!!!!
