My Comeback Story: Craig G.

When I first met Dr. Bader he ordered a MRI to see what was actually going on. He listened to everything I had to say and he thought best to go with the physical therapy route to see if I could make progress to recovery of my torn rotator cuff, so we decided on a physical therapy plan together. I was very religious about going to all my appointments and doing home exercises as well. After 2-3 months of no real progress, Dr Bader thought it would be best to have surgery. He was VERY clear about how difficult the recovery would be and wanted to make sure I understood this. I am so glad I decided to go through with the surgery, but to be honest, the surgery itself was the easy part and it went very well. Also, I do recommend the nerve block as it will help ALOT after the surgery. Dr. Bader was right, the recovery was probably one of the hardest things I've had to do in a long time. You just have to keep going and work hard, but in the end it was all worth it, do not give up! It took 9-12 months ( for me ) to get back to close to 100%. Dr. Bader and his PA Rick are great! The staff at the surgery center were also very good as well. I cant say enough good things about Dr. Bader and I would highly recommend him for your orthopedic needs. THANK YOU DR. BADER!
