Patient Reviews
May 25, 2022
Dr. Wottowa recently performed a decompression of my right shoulder. He removed some large bone spurs. This doctor has been excellent through the entire treatment, beginning to end. His manner is easy. His explanations are complete and easy to understand. He will take the time needed give you all the information needed to be sure you are comfortable in your decisions about your care. The results of the surgery were OUTSTANDING! In just a few months I have full range of motion and the only pain I have is muscular ( which will get better), and very manageable. He is an excellent physician in all respects. Highest recommendations for Dr. Wottowa.
