Doctor is excellent and I am grateful to have been able to see him. The same holds true for the-ray tech and the tech who helped with aligning my knee brace.Some advice regarding best practices in terms of exercise, diet and supplements would be helpful - or if there are none, to be told so.

Dr. Tibone saved my life. After a major trauma it appeared very likely that I might be permanently crippled but due to his outstanding surgical treatment I have over the past 35 years had perfect function of my leg and knee. I am very grateful to him for his care and expertise.

I have now had both shoulders replaced by Dr Tibone. I am pain free and able to resume an active life style as a result of his incredible surgical skills. I highly recommend Dr Tibone to anyone needing shoulder surgery.
