I had a great experience with Dr. Tyler. I was having trouble with my shoulder, and she first tried some conservative approaches before doing surgery on it. The surgical staff were all very professional, and my recovery went very well. She and her office staff are very nice and made the whole process easy. I highly recommend her!
