Explained that my knee pain was actually from a pinched sciatic nerve. Not what I was expecting but my research indicates this is a common reason for knee pain. Got me some steroids and gave me good reasons for physical therapy. I appreciate his conservative approach.

I have a lot of trust in Dr. Obermeyer. Seen him for a Rotator Cuff a few years ago and was very happy with the results. Went to see him for my other shoulder thinking I would need surgery but the Dr. was honest enough and tell me the pain in my Shoulder was being caused by a pinch nerve in my neck. Thanks Dr. Obermeyer

Received x-ray and consultation from Dr. Obermeyer in regard to right shoulder issues. He answered all my questions and set up appointment for gel injection pending insurance coverage. So glad I made the 100 mile trip for consultation. Dr. Obermeyer listened to my questions and offered an alternative to surgery. He also offers cutting edge surgery techniques if required in the future.

Saw Dr.Thomas Obermeyer for shoulder pain. His office staff is great. Friendly and professional. Took x-rays and I met with the doctor about 10 minutes after. Went over the x-ray. Did some movement tests and WE decided that a steroid shot would probably be the first step and hopefully enough. He gave it to me on this visit and was very quick. Barely felt it. Feeling very good about my experience.

I came to see Dr. Obermeyer because of pain in my left knee. He had performed right shoulder replacement surgery on my right shoulder the previous year and it was a complete success. This latest visit confirmed what I suspected: arthritis in the knee. Dr. Obermeyer went over the x-rays with me and discussed treatment options. As always, he was friendly, thorough, and extremely professional.
