Shoulder & elbow
Shoulder pain and shoulder surgery
Rotator cuff tears, frozen shoulder, dislocations and arthritis, treated by surgeons who specialize in the shoulder and elbow.
Restoring strength and motion
The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body, which also makes it easy to injure. Pain reaching overhead, at night, or after a fall or throw usually points to the rotator cuff, the labrum or the joint itself.
We use ultrasound in clinic to look at the rotator cuff in real time and MRI when needed. Many tears and frozen shoulders respond to therapy and injections; larger tears and unstable shoulders are repaired arthroscopically through small incisions.
What we offer
Rotator cuff repair
Arthroscopic repair of torn tendons with a structured rehab plan.
Shoulder stabilization
Labral repair for recurrent dislocations.
Frozen shoulder care
Hydrodilatation injections, PT and, rarely, release surgery.
Shoulder replacement
Anatomic and reverse replacement for arthritis and large tears.

Common questions
Can a rotator cuff tear heal on its own?
Small partial tears often improve with therapy. Full-thickness tears don't heal back to the bone, but some people manage well without surgery.
How long will I wear a sling?
Usually 4–6 weeks after rotator cuff or labral repair.
