I highly recommend Dr. Curtis. He did a great job with my right shoulder which was a revision surgery meaning he had to fix someone else's very bad work. I am now seeing him for my left shoulder.

I’m very pleased that a surgeon as skilled as Dr. Curtis will be trying to get my shoulder back to its pre-accident condition after I was rear-ended in a “total” highway accident. After the bad luck of being whacked hard from behind and then hitting a car that had been far in front of me, I’m happy to have had the good luck to receive care from Dr. Curtis.

Great surgeon and person in general. Only works on shoulders so he’s extremely experienced. Love his PA Irene. Thorough. Easy going. Will only go to him for shoulder issues.

My shoulder was in very rough shape due to being a firefighter for 32 years. I had been told by a different orthopedic surgeon that there was nothing that could be done but was referred to Dr. Curtis and now my shoulder has mobility and minimal pain. I highly recommend Dr. Curtis and everyone in his office.

Dr Curtis is absolutely amazing!!! I had a rotator cuff surgery, along with bone spurs, and a torn tendon he is beyond kind and the most amazing bedside manner imaginable! I would highly recommend him along with his amazing staff. During booking, Leslie was beyond helpful. It doesn’t just end with the surgery, he has continued to be supportive and outstanding . I give this entire office a five star.. Dr. Curtis’ reputation has been the best is definitely well earned!!
