I was very impressed with Dr. Isbell. He explained what he thought might be causing my pain, and gave me a clear, sensible plan for moving forward. I especially appreciated that he didn’t recommend unnecessary tests or procedures, but started with an appropriate conservative treatment plan. I left feeling confident that I am in good hands.

Fantastic surgeon with an outstanding team…top to bottom.
Cannot offer a stronger recommendation for his skills, manner, and outcomes.
This was my three-peat…both shoulders and know a knee.

My second meeting, after about 18 years, with Dr. Isbell, I came to see him for his shoulder. He is a terrific doctor with a great bedside manner. He is very knowledgeable and very interested in me as his patient. When the time comes for him to operate, I will trust him completely.
