Shoulder surgery
 
Need to get it repaired but don’t want to make a bad Dr. Choice.

Dr. Cook at Advanced Orthopaedic Institute in Lady Lake.

Dr. O replaced my knee and it had to be re-done.

Dr. Alfred Cook-Advanced Ortho did my left shoulder a year ago. Good results.

Miken666 is correct IMO. Doesn’t matter how good the doctor is. No one can do as good as Mother Nature. Set your expectations accordingly.

Wife's got knee issues. Many patients in waiting room shared with us about their getting the 'chicken' injection. Some Visco fluids that work like replacement cartilage. Anybody here that can shed more light on this procedure ?

I got the injections for a few months, and boy oh boy do they hurt! I may have waited too long before I started getting the shots, but they were not effective for me. I’ve spoken to others who said they worked great for them, so it may be a matter of timing.

My wife got a series of three shots in 2015, there was no pain and she is still doing well. We are seasonal and used Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. They built a facility two years ago in West Palm Beach, I was just there for a shoulder issue.Good luck.

I had a reverse full shoulder replacement done as an out patient by Dr. Cook 2 years ago & couldn't be more pleased. I had zero pain throughout the surgery , recovery & therapy. It had no adverse effect on my table tennis game, it didn't help either.
