I had seen Dr Murch for a previous surgery for trigger finger and he did a great job. I am trusting him with a shoulder problem on this visit. Listened to all my concerns and presented me with a couple options.

Doctor Murch worked on my right shoulder in 2017. I still have no pain. Now the left shoulder is a problem child that needs attention. I would live with the pain if I couldn’t have doctor Scott Murch!!! Thank you Doctor Murch for your honesty, your personality, and your confidence. Your confidence had my mind at ease in 2017 and now again in 2025. I know I have the right doctor to take care of my orthopedic needs.

Needed a diagnosis on my shoulder pain. They were quick with the X-rays and no delay in service. My only issue is the paperwork should be sent prior to the appointment so it can be filled out properly
