Smart move researching your doctor.....

Too often we go to a doc that is "convienent"! Well, I did that 5 years ago and this past Feb. I had my second shoulder surgery! However, just as important to the doc is the rehab! Stick to the rehab and it will do wonders!

Try to get in contact with any pro or college teams in your area and see who their surgeon is.

I went the UPenn in Philly. He is the chief of surgery at Penn Sports medicine. 2 of my best friends had him, one for torn labrum, the other for torn labrum and torn / ruptured ACL

yup i got my DR having surgery on june 23rd for torn labrum/ longhead bicep tendon
morgan kalman clinic in Delaware i hope everything goes well after this surgery i am going to have 2 undergo one more to fix tendons near elbow so when it comes to injurys everyone dont push them aside and continue to lift you will only do more damage which will leave you out longer!! look at me for example i thought the shoulder injury was nothing continued to lift was doing biceps one day and i heard a pop and felt sharp pain near elbow and after that i tore more valuables so instead of one surgery leaving me out for 6 months now ima have 2 undergo 2 of them leaving me out for a year or so!!!! so get injuries examined by professionals ASAP!!!

An arthroscopic shoulder surgery can treat conditions like rotator cuff tears, shoulder instability, impingement syndrome, biceps tendonitis, frozen shoulder, and AC joint arthritis. Since the operation doen’t hurt too much, patients make the mistake of doing too much too soon. Therefore, it is important that you follow your surgeon’s instruction post an arthroscopic shoulder surgery and restrict your activities to the ones recommended by him. The shoulder tissues need time to heal and repair. As far as your hunt for an orthopedic surgeon in NJ is concerned, why don’t you visit the Jersey Shore University Medical Center? The hospital has a team of surgeons who specialize in various branches of orthopedic surgery.
