“I cannot say enough about Dr. James Voos and his team for being so skilled and providing such excellent care. When I hurt my shoulder, I was not sure how bad the injuries were. When there was little to no improvement, I went to see Dr. Voos. I had a rotator cuff tear and a bicep tear. My immediate concern was if I’d be able to return to my job as a full-time firefighter without restrictions or deficits. Dr. Voos was compassionate, caring and truthful about my expected recovery from the surgery needed to repair my injury. No part of the procedure, post-procedure care, physical therapy or rehabilitation was left undiscussed. He and his team were with me every step of the way. I’m back at work now and have resumed all of my extracurricular activities, including training search-and-rescue canines. I’d say I’m at about 99.9% of what my capabilities were before my shoulder injury. I am extremely grateful and cannot say thank you enough!”
