Matthew Toplitsky

My son Matthew had a rare tear in the right shoulder that needed emergency surgery. Before finding Dr. Fabricant, we went to many surgeons who said, "This tear is rare in a 14-year-old boy and very large. I can do it, but I have never seen it before.” Finally we met with Dr. Fabricant, who made us feel calm and confident that Matthew will be fine. He is a kind and good-natured doctor who works well with the kids and parents. Matthew is 100% back in action after 6 months of healing and super care treatment from Dr. Fabricant and his staff. Cross your fingers - tryouts are next month for his school team!
