Tailored Treatments to Repair and Restore Shoulder Rotator Cuff Tears

The shoulder joint is surrounded by four muscles and tendons. These provide strength and stability to the shoulder. These muscles can tear, causing what is called a rotator cuff tear. 

We offer comprehensive services for rotator cuff tears or other shoulder rotator cuff injuries to identify the source of your shoulder pain or mobility problem.

Most rotator cuff injuries require surgery to fully heal. Our orthopedic surgeons can make repairs with minimally invasive procedures using a high standard of care from the operating room to recovery. Our goal is to return you to work and play as fast as possible.
