I'm a 62 year old personal trainer and fitness coach. Dr workman performed two shoulder surgeries on me this year following my tearing of both rotator cuffs. He also "cleaned up" other shoulder joint issues during the repair work. Following recovery and rehabilitation I have full range of motion and beyond functional strength in both shoulders and arms. Dr Workman is not only the best out there but provides plenty of after care to make sure his work is properly finished in therapy.From Coach Terry https://coachterrysfitness.com

When I called, I was able to get an appointment for the following week. My ambiguous knee pain had gotten to the point that I no longer could use the stairs in my home. Dr. Workman was very professional, knowledgeable, and understanding. He immediately took x-rays, and then based on the results, sent me in for a MRI. Within two weeks, I was scheduled for my arthroscopic surgery! Two weeks after that I was using stairs and walking with virtually no pain. I have seen him a few times now, and he has been great each time. He uses anatomical models to explain the cause for your pain. Dr. Workman ALWAYS ends our visits with Are you okay with the information I have given you? Do you have any more questions for me? I know he sincerely wants to know because he doesnt have one hand on the door as he is asking. He remains seated with his laptop and my file. The ideal situation would be no injury or pain in the first place, BUT if you need an orthopedic doctor/surgeon, he is the one to see.
