Patient Reviews
Jun 06, 2024
Dr. Hamilton repaired my left rotator cuff maybe 8 years ago and when re-injured it I fought with my insurance to get in to him. The whole process from the time of the injury until surgery took 7 months. I was mentally prepared for this time to be very rough. It had relatively little pain, only used a constant ice machine and ibuprofen for the first 5 days post surgery. 2 weeks out and my shoulder feels more secure at this point than before my initial injury in October. Also this was so much less painful than what I was expecting compared to my previous 2 rotator cuff repairs and this procedure was a lot more extensive.
