Patient Reviews
Mar 01, 2023
Dr. Thorsness did a newer surgery to fix my shredded rotator cuff. The surgery is called a Total Reverse Shoulder Replacement. Dr. Thornsness is one of the few doctors qualified to perform this surgery. The healing time was significantly less compared to a shoulder replacement. It wasn't long before I had full movement of my arm, full range of motion, and no pain and I do not have a rotator cuff in my right arm. Thank You, Dr. Thorsness.
