I am so glad I was able to get an appointment with Dr Dean for a second opinion on my shoulder. Dr Dean explained the results of a previous MRI in easy to understand language and visuals. His diagnosis was very different from the Show moreprevious doctor I saw and provided me with a protocol that will help my shoulder get some strength back without having injections or surgery. I felt very relieved and excited to work on strengthening. I didn’t feel rushed or talked down to.
Dr. Dean is fantastic! He is one of the best doctors that I have ever had, and I am 66 years old! Very professional, personable, and knowledgeable! He took the time to explain my issues and what my options were to address them. I Show morehighly recommend Dr. Dean to anyone with orthopedic issues, especially with the knee. I am thankful for Dr. Dean and his treatment recommendations for me!
