Provider was nice enough and it was evident that Dr. McFarland wanted to help. Not sure he was given enough of our background info for us to determine if he could actually help.

Dr. McFarland is the best Orthopedic Surgeon I currently have. I'vReplacements, Shoulder replacements, 6 Left Shoulder Replacements, both hips replaced, 6 left knee replacements, 1 right knee replacements, and right ankle replaced, left ankle reconstruction. I've had one other Orthopedic surgeon who was awesome, but retired. By far, Dr. McFarland's skill is elite, what he had to actually make, design, and build to recover any resemblance of a shoulder due to so many replacements, Bone lose, broken bones ect. Is beyond anything I've ever experienced or thought possible...he's a phenomenal surgeon, bar none!!!
