I suffered for years with pain in my shoulder. I always assumed it was simply arthritis. When it began to impact my golf game, I became more concerned. I first visited HSS and saw a PA in the walk in clinic. From there I was recommended to go for physical therapy for my shoulder. While it helped, the pain continued. I then was pointed towards Dr. Blaine. It was discovered I had a completely torn rotator cuff. I opted for surgical repair and while a tough recovery, I followed the rehab schedule and worked hard on my own to regain strength. 15 months later I am 100% with greater flexibility in my repaired shoulder than my uninjured one. I can't thank Dr. Blaine and his PA, Samantha Greene enough for their care and work.

Thank You!!
