He absolutely gave me my life back. The pain I was in before and my old surgeon retired I had no hope at all. I saw one surgeon and they couldn’t take me on because it was too complicated, so they told me about Dr.Otto . I had nothing to lose. He was down to every detail during my visit and did X-rays and cat scan. Then we talked about options and from there He did surgery. He gave me the chance to hold my grandkids longer and work in the garden more, continue my career and my goals. He gave me a part of my life back I thought was gone for years. He’s just an amazing Doctor and surgeon and I’m so blessed that he was able to help me. Thank you Dr.Otto !

I would highly recommend Dr. Otto as everything he has told me was positive and I shouldn't have excruciating pain and he was right. He is very knowledgeable of reverse shoulder replacement and everyone should listen to him to make this surgery easy for themselves.
