Patient Reviews
Jun 12, 2023
Dr Nam did a reverse shoulder replacement on my right arm, which was hanging by threads of a rotator cuff injury I'd neglected for years. Before surgery I could barely lift my arm to shoulder height but I now have hugely increased range of motion and virtually no pain. Dr Nam seemed honestly invested in my recovery and was excited at each visit when the x-rayas looked good and I was improved. I recommend Dr Nam highly! and his PA Isobel is amazing.
