Dr Mitchell did right shoulder rotator cuff repair for me in March 2009 and same for Mr 07 in August 2008. We both had successful outcomes. I have heard and I believe that Dr Mitchell is the best shoulder surgeon around. It's outpatient surgery.
But, having had 2 total knee replacements, I can honestly say the shoulder surgery recovery was longer and more painful than either of the knees. Very uncomfortable for 4-6 weeks and tough physical therapy. I was able to start back at golf in about 2.5 months but more like 6 months for tennis.
Best of luck to you...it's not a fun proposition ahead.
