Patient Testimonials

I lived with shoulder pain for many years because I was once told by an orthopedic surgeon "You need a shoulder replacement, but if you have one you're going to be disappointed." It was discouraging to hear that but it was in fact absolutely accurate and it was also about twenty years ago. Back then the surgery was more invasive and the result
was underwhelming. As the years went by my pain increased and my range of motion became very limited. I was using my left shoulder more often for reaching and carrying things. I would soon discover, when it comes to joint replacement in this day and age, things have changed.


A little more than a year ago, while being treated for a knee problem I asked the doctor treating me if he could recommend the best shoulder guy around. Without hesitation he said, "You want to see Dr. Acevedo. You want to see a doctor that does this everyday. Dr. Acevedo is the best! " I took that advice and set up a consultation.

Dr Acevedo explained the latest surgical techniques he also mentioned that some of the materials used now were developed as little as four years ago. I learned the procedure is less invasive and the materials are designed to last longer. I was feeling optimistic and happy about not having the surgery twenty years ago. Dr. Acevedo then delivered the best news. This procedure would be outpatient, it would begin around 8am and I could expect to be home around noon. That was all I needed to hear, I scheduled my surgery for a total right shoulder arthroplasty .

It's been a little more than a year since my surgery and my outcome has exceeded my anticipations in every possible way. The recovery time wasn't very long and the result has been life changing. I can do activities that were out of the question for decades. I have a fully functioning right shoulder! I want to emphasize that I followed Dr. Acevedo's guidelines 100 percent prior to and after the surgery, I firmly believe this improved my outcome.

Obviously, I can't recommend Dr. Acevedo enough, his confidence and self assurance helped me move beyond my hesitation that I had. His surgical skills are extraordinary. I made the right choice and the results will always be gratifying!
