Dr. Tapscott did a full reverse shoulder replacement on my left shoulder,,,, it is better than new, it is awesome, full use and movement. I more than highly recommend him for his skills. Just his knowledgeable communication with your situation is great, he never leaves any doubt or confusion with the procedure he will be doing. Awesome experience. Cynthia Wright
