Jason Blackwell

I am a professional firefighter, and on 11/20/17 I was involved in a chemical factory explosion. Unknown to me, the violent event that almost took my life left me with a present that Doctor Taylor found - a complete rotator cuff tear. While he was repairing my rotator cuff, he addressed other issues going on that was unseen on imaging (biceps tenodesis and subacromial decompression). I’m not back to work, but thanks to Dr Taylor, I’m Back in the Game with improved quality of life and mobility! Thanks Dr. Taylor and HSS.
