Stephen T. Gates

My visit was great. I will recommend Dr.Gates to all of family and friends.

I am very empress with Dr.Gates. I found him to be an excellent surgeon and very professional in every way. He is very pleasant and ready to listen to my concerns. He will be replacing my other shoulder as well. I am so pleased to have such a good surgeon. Marie

Lied about pain management. 2 days out of reverse shoulder replacement and have no pain meds. His on call dr. Dr. Rinehart refuses to talk to me or help. This is medical abandonment.

Excellent Doctor that explains everything very well. I enjoy my appointments with Dr Gates as I am able to feel positive about what he is treating me for. Thank you Dr Gates!

Awesome doctor. Super friendly and makes you feel comfortable. Explained everything. Highly recommend.

Dr. Gates is a fantastic surgeon in every possible way. He makes you feel very comfortable and at ease. it’s obvious he’s incredibly knowledgeable, skillful, and gifted. I couldn’t be happier with the service I’ve received from him and his staff on my reverse total arthroplasty. Highest recommendation!

Dr. Gates has taken great care of me and my husband. Recently saw him and he was very patient with me and ensured I was informed about my options for care and a procedure that I had to make a decision about. I am forever grateful for his guidance and the excellent care I received.

Great experience. Dr gates and team are attentive.

Dr. Gates is knowledgeable in evaluating and laying out the options for the patients care, which may or may not include surgery. He is personable and respectful, always ensuring any and all questions or concerns are addressed. He is matter-of-fact in his approach which gives you confidence in his know-how and abilities.

We cannot say enough great things about Dr. Stephen Gates at TSAOG. After an initial diagnosis elsewhere, we sought a second opinion for our son and are so grateful we did. Dr. Gates provided an entirely different perspective and laid out a clear, thoughtful, and effective non-surgical path to healing. His ability to connect with our teenage son was outstanding—he made him feel heard, understood, and confident in the plan moving forward. At the same time, Dr. Gates was straightforward in explaining that surgery could be an option in the future if necessary, which gave us reassurance and clarity. His compassion, knowledge, and exceptional interpersonal skills made this truly the best medical experience we’ve had. He is absolutely worth traveling to see, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found him. Five stars!
