Patient Reviews
Jul 16, 2022
5 Stars: I had a total shoulder replacement 2 months ago, his pre surgery consultation was thorough, informative, and friendly. He answer my questions and alleviated my unfounded concerns while giving me statical probabilities for realistic expectations for outcome and associated risks. The surgery went smoothly due to his skill and my recovery is going well with minimal pain initially and now an absence of pain. I am making steady progress on my mobility with PT/OT assistance. Should have done this a couple years ago!
