Dr. Stanwood was great! He took the time to explain what was going on, showed me the problem on my X-rays. We discussed options, moving forward and he gave me a cortisone shot. Happy to report that it helped considerably…at least 50-60% improvement so far! Although my shoulder bone on bone is not complicated nor life threatening, it is the first big aging problem that I have encountered and it was a big deal to me!

I found him to be friendly, caring, good at explaining my MRI images and he didn’t make me feel rushed.

Treated for a painful shoulder issue that was misdiagnosed by another ortho practice. Dr. Stanwood tried a non-surgical treatment approach first. When that did not solve my problem, I underwent surgery with excellent results. I was extremely comfortable during my recovery and was very happy with all the support from his practice.

Dec-2023
Being short and a bit aloof is not a good bedside practice… perhaps it can be blamed on possible insecurities…?
Dec-2023
While Dr. Stanwood conducted a comprehensive and efficient exam and ruled out any apparent neuromuscular shoulder injury, he was ultimately dismissive of my symptoms and left abruptly (presumably to get on to his next seven minute patient contact) with no recommendations on how to move forward.
