I had just about given up before meeting with Dr.Baker. I had been in constant pain night and day. Couldn’t sleep and was being told my arm was healing fine. I saw Dr. Baker, he took pics of the bone and discussed my best option. Within a couple of days he did the surgery. I’m hopeful, happy and pretty much pain free. Still in PT but my improvement in range of motion and use of my arm is nothing short of miraculous to me.
