Dr Szerlip did a reverse shoulder replacement for my husband about a year ago. He received awesome treatment. Dr. Szerlip even called us to check on everything. Now, I am seeing Dr. Szerlip for shoulder pain. Most surgeons are so knife happy and start pushing surgery immediately. But, not this guy. If you need surgery, he is willing to do so. But, if your life is pushing to wait for surgery, then he will work with you and see what the other options are possible.
