Dr. Kennon is the epitome of what a physician and surgeon should be. His bedside manner and willingness to explain every detail of the procedure, preparation, and post op expectations are bar none. His surgery protocol and at the forefront of medicine and post op…the pain levels were far less than expected due to this. Even my physical therapists told me that every patient they help recover have FAR less pain and much speedier recovery than other rotator cuff repairs. I have now had both shoulders repaired and would not go to ANY other surgeon or trust my care to anyone else. If you are looking for the best and want the best experience, then Dr. Kennon and TOA are the ones to trust with your healthcare.

Dr. Justin Kennon is outstanding! He successfully performed surgery to repair my rotator cuff and labrum, and the results are incredible. My shoulder feels stronger and more stable than it has since the fall that made repair needed. His expertise and the personalized care I received were top-notch throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Dr. Kennon for any shoulder issues!

Dr Justin Kennon took on my complicated shoulder reverse replacement-3 weeks in recovery now and minimal to no pain. Already started PT. Personable, knowledgeable, caring surgeon and staff. Pre-op and post-op care and instruction is the best. Five stars and more!
