Dr. Sweeney operated on my shoulder that had caused me significant pain for over a year. The pain was almost instantly gone. It’s been three months and I can do more now than I was able to do before the surgery. He’s an excellent surgeon and a terrific person. Thoughtful, considerate and kind. I’m so grateful to Dr Sweeney and his staff for all they’ve done to make my life enjoyable again. (Just went fishing. Fish didn’t bite but my arm worked just fine)
