Biceps Tendon Rupture/Tear

Patient image of: Michael LaCava

I am 68 year old who is very active playing singles tennis, working out daily for years & doing heavy outdoor work around our home. I had 3 previous shoulder surgeries - 2 rotator cuff & 1 ruptured biceps tendon. Dr. Simovitch has done such a remarkable job that I haven’t experienced much pain in what is normally torturous post-surgery. He utilized PRP therapy and must have hands of gold. Thank you, Dr. Simovitch. I give him the highest recommendation possible.
