Services We Offer

Shoulder Replacement Surgery

Our surgeons perform both total shoulder replacements and reverse shoulder replacements, depending on the patient’s specific condition and needs. Total shoulder replacement is typically recommended for conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or severe fractures affecting the shoulder joint. Reverse shoulder replacement is often indicated for patients with rotator cuff tears and shoulder instability.

Minimally Invasive Techniques

We utilize advanced, minimally invasive techniques whenever possible to minimize surgical trauma, reduce recovery time, and improve outcomes for our patients. Minimally invasive shoulder replacements involve smaller incisions, less soft tissue disruption, and a faster return to normal activities compared to traditional open surgery.

Comprehensive Preoperative Evaluation

Before recommending shoulder replacement surgery, our team conducts a thorough preoperative evaluation, including a detailed medical history, physical examination, and imaging studies such as X-rays and MRI scans. This comprehensive assessment helps us determine the most appropriate surgical approach and customize the treatment plan for each patient.

Rehabilitation and Follow-Up Care

Our commitment to patient care extends beyond surgery. We provide comprehensive rehabilitation programs tailored to each patient’s needs to promote healing, restore shoulder strength and function, and optimize long-term outcomes. Regular follow-up visits allow us to monitor progress, address any concerns, and ensure a successful recovery.

Patient-Centered Care

At our practice, we prioritize patient education, communication, and personalized care. We believe in empowering patients to actively participate in their treatment decisions and strive to create a supportive and compassionate environment where patients feel heard, valued, and well-cared for throughout their shoulder replacement journey.
