I was in a car accident 2 years ago and saw several doctors. Dr. Habetz was rhe only one that went through my scans and xrays carefully and saw what was wrong. None of previous doctors including specialist noticed and I thought "maybe I'm crazy and my pain is in my head." I no longer trust any other medical professional except for Dr. Habetz at Bone and Joint. DON'T WAIT. Make a appointment asap!

My experience from my first visit with X-rays, then a confirming MRI, Arthroscopic surgery, recovery through physical therapy, were very satisfactory. Pleasant Dr and staff. My only concern was the two days of post operative pain that was not relieved through a weak Rx. I would advise future patients to discuss what level of pain to expect and how will it be administered to. The pain meds prescribed were not up to the task. Other than that Dr. Habetz did a great job. The shoulder surgery of a torn rotator cuff, labrum and bicep tear is a complete success. After four months post surgery I have 90% recovery and with home physical therapy will restore the remaining strength and range of motion.

Dr Habetz was very informative with his initial diagnosis and although we are waiting for an MRI to confirm I feel he will have a great plan to get my shoulder fixed.
