Patient Reviews
Jun 12, 2020
I had a massive rotator cuff tear of 2 tendons (supra and infra). Dr olson gave detailed descriptions of the injury and how he would repair it. The outcome was excellent considering the extent of the injury. 100% recovery was not expected due to history of previous damage to the shoulder but I have almost full range of motion with modest lost of strength. I would highly recommend Dr Olson if you need shoulder surgery.
