I used Dr. Frerichs for a bursis surgery about 5 years ago. He did a fantastic job them and so when I had a potential rotator cuff issue he was my first choice. I was not disappointed, Got in in a hurry and his PA did a great job with the ultrasound and explained what she found. Dr. Frerichs followed up with an immediate plan to get the answers we need so we can get on quickly to recovery. I highly recommend.
