Dr. Dean is an exceptional healer and person. He took the time whenever we met to give me my then-current status, what I should expect next, and what my time frame for a full recovery should be. He did a fabulous job with my shoulShow moreder, and I am completely satisfied with his work and his willingness to take the time necessary to explain everything to me. I was 110 percent satisfied, and I would recommend him to everyone (and have already done so). In addition, his staff is terrific. Understanding, helpful, and kind. If you have an orthopedic problem, call first an appointment. Paul J. Larkin
After years of putting off shoulder surgery, I finally came to the conclusion it needed to be done, and I wanted the best orthopedic physician to do it. Dr. Dean was the answer!

He has an excellent team and has provided me with the best of care! He even thanked me for being a good patient! How lucky I am to have waited for the best!!

Dr. Dean listens, evaluates and explains your options. He takes whatever time he needs with you…never rushed! Wouldn’t consider anyone else for shoulder or knee concerns…he’s the best!
Great
We discussed my torn meniscus progress, I was pleased that he recommended knee surgery as last resort and injections were suitable for now.
Extremely knowledgeable, professional, and explained the procedure in terms that is very relatable and look forward to the operation.

He’s excellent and knows exactly what he’s doing.
Dr Dean is very professional, experienced and personable. I'm so glad he was taking new patients. He gave me a steroid shot that stopped my pain and I am very grateful.
Dr Dean is the best medical professional is have ever seen. Takes the time to fully brief and discuss options. His staff is the best! Not excited about a new shoulder but I wouldn’t do it with any one else! He’s the BEST!
It took roughly one hour and 45 minutes past appointment time to see him but he’s very good.
Dr. Dean and his team are Top Notch. Pre-op, post-op, and PT are the very best. None better
Went through the issues very thoroughly and made a recommendation for treatment which was understandable
Dr. Dean was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and professional. He answered all my questions beautifully and took time with me. I didn’t feel rushed. I was extremely impressed by him.
Dr. Dean listen to what I have to say. And he could relate to me because he had something similar to my problem. He also did surgery on my left knee and it’s working out great everybody in the office was very pleasant and very helpful.
My first appointment with Dr. Dean. He was informed of my condition, listened to my story, and provided options for a path forward. We discussed the options, and agreed on a plan. I had a very positive experience.

Dr Dean was very helpful in discussing all options available and the likely success rate of each. His honesty was most appreciated.
Given my challenging problem, he spent time to explain the position he is in. He is working to resolve this situation as best he can. I feel he is an amazing doctor who goes above and beyond ♥️
Office staff is very kind & professional. Dr. Dean is very thorough & takes his time to listen. Overall I had a great first experience.
Dr Dean is awesome with shoulders! I’ve had both shoulders scoped and repaired in the past 15 months and I’m getting stronger every day. Dr Dean is very good at describing what all he had to repair and how it would affect me. He’s also a pretty good guy. Bonus!
