"Dr. Ingari listened to my concerns and challenges with my shoulder and asked me several questions to really understand what my problem was. He explained options for treatment in ways I could clearly understand. He did not rush me into surgery, but offered several alternatives. Unfortunately, I did need surgery after all, but I felt like we had tried everything to avoid it. It was exactly as exactly as he described. I am amazed at how well I got my range of motion and strength back. I would highly recommend Dr. Ingari to anyone. He is extremely knowledgeable and truly cares about his patients!"
