Dr Cain is an honest and down to earth surgeon. He let me know everything to expect and that the rehab is what u put into it for your best recovery. I am 2 months into a torn rotatotor cuff, torn labrum, and bicep tendonesis procedure. I have full range of motion and am returning to work this week which is sooner then expected. I am grateful I was able to use Dr Cain. Thanks again Dr Cain

Dr Cain has surgically repaired my left shoulder, my left meniscus, BOTH elbows and he did an EXCELLENT job on ALL 4 repairs. I am now 70 years old and still refereeing high school basketball and a great deal of the reason is because Dr Cain put me back together so VERY WELL each time. I can’t praise him enough! Thank you Dr Cain! Jay Hall

This was my second knee replacement and much like the first one I am very happy with the results. Everything related to his office and care has been top notch. They know how to run an office and it’s always a great experience.
