Dr. Otto was fantastic! I've been dealing with a shoulder issue for over a year with very little help. I went to him for a second opinion, and I wish I would have gone sooner. He explained everything to me (unlike my first doctor at Signature) and was amazing. I will definitely recommend him to anyone dealing with shoulder issues.

Came highly recommended! Was glad I decided to see him for this upcoming surgery! He was wonderful and lived up to his reputation as a great doctor.

I like him. He’s the shoulder guy in the St. Louis area. He gives cortisone shots without you feeling it. He’s a character too. Love his bed side manner. His cowboy boots are a nice touch. lol
