I had my 2nd rotator cuff repair with Dr. Dainer. My 1st reviews noted his tendency to have a BAD attitude because I wasn't able to clear my bronchial asthma with my PCP that I finally dismissed a month prior to my 2nd surgery. I didn't even have to mention my bronchitis this time as I had found a better homeopathic cure. So the crankiness from the 1st time became a twinkle in his eye during the 2nd shoulder appointments. I even requested Dr. Dainer for the 2nd surgery. My former DO told me both times that Dr. Dainer is the best shoulder guy. He's even been helpful with another brief question unrelated to my workers comp issue. So I give him 2 solid thumbs up this time!

Dr. Dainer was thorough and gave a good explanation of my problem. X-Rays were taken and there was a very short wait before discussions. He has a very deep knowledge of bone problems. Very satisfied with his care for my issue.
