Dr. Haggerty gets right to the point, listens to the important details. Does thorough assements and has adept palpitation skills. I definitely recommend anyone who needs just an opinion on how there injury is or if it needs furtShow moreher care, or just physical therapy. He's not quick to recommend surgery, he is more conservative based on you and your assessments. Which is great in my opinion.

In the months I've been a patient of Dr Haggerty & PA Bishop, I have learned more than expected about rotator cuffs, injuries to tendons, and surgical repairs. They've answered my questions with details I can understand. I can tell they have a tremendous amount of experience helping people gain healthy, stable shoulders free of pain. THANK YOU!
