What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Kind and compassionate

Feb 13, 2026
He was so thorough in his explanation of what would happen with the surgery in my preop appointment that I didn’t have a single question when he was done. I’ve never had that happen to me before with other surgeons. I always had follow up questions. Then afterwards he showed me the before and after x-rays, so I could see what was actually done and how damaged my shoulder had been previously I really appreciated that because it showed me how much I needed this surgery
