I am so happy with my shoulder replacement that Dr Garver performed. She was awesome. Explained everything and answered my questions.I worked hard at the therapy but she is the reason my shoulder replacement surgery is such a success. I no longer have shoulder pain!! I cannot thank her enough.

why do you only post the good reviews and not mine. And how you refused to repair my rotator cuff because I wouldn't let you replace my shoulder that causes me no pain.

Dr Garver is exceptionally talented and an excellent expert in her specialty. She found the cause of the shoulder pain I was having for a year and a half , even after others didn’t. She got a second MRI and found what the radiologists didn’t. She performed my shoulder surgery and repaired the injuries. I am healing well , as expected, and the pain has greatly improved. She also treated me with dignity and respect, and I felt cared for and listened to! I would recommend her , even to family and my closest friends !
