Shoulder Pain Causes, Conditions and Treatments

Michael Blauner

In February 2014, I injured myself after a traumatic fall which resulted in a full thickness tear to my supraspinatus tendon in my shoulder. Dr. Gregory DiFelice came highly recommended from a co-worker who had an amazing recovery after Dr. DiFelice performed surgery on his torn rotator cuff. Dr. DiFelice was extremely confident that he could repair my shoulder and he made me feel comfortable about the execution of the surgery and what to expect post surgery. After a successful surgery, Dr. DiFelice took the time to carefully explain the repair and what it would take to regain the use of my shoulder. It took me over a year of rehabilitation but I was able to fully recover my full range of motion. It's been almost four years and my shoulder remains as strong as ever. Thank you Dr. DiFelice, you are a miracle worker. I am so happy to have found you and the incredible staff at HSS - you are truly the best.
