Jason D. Rabenold's Online Review Report Card

I had surgery on my left shoulder due to a motor vehicle accident which tore my left rotator cuff. Dr Rabenold was recommended to me and subsequently completed the surgery. I’ve had surgeries in the past and was in severe pain at times post surgery. Therefore I was worried I’d encounter the same post surgery pain, especially hearing horror stories on shoulder surgery rehab. Post surgery, I followed Dr. Rabenold’s instructions and was waiting for severe pain to kick in, which never happened. My pain was minimal and rehab went great. Dr. Rabenold, his staff and the staff at Mercy Hospital were great. I’ve seen some negative reviews posted by others regarding Dr. Rabenold’s bed side manner etc. they’re wrong! I feel I gained a friend during the post surgery visits. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Rabenold to anyone seeking similar care. Ken Mc.

I had shoulder pain 24/7 that kept me up at night and caused the premature end of my softball playing days. I saw Dr. Rabenold and he got an MRI of the shoulder and scheduled surgery. He repaired 4 tears in my labrum. My shoulder pain is back to zero, still play softball and racquetball, and life is great again. Surgery was about 5 years ago and it's still perfect today. Going back to him to repair my other shoulder soon. I trust Dr. Rabenold completely.

No help

Today was my first visit. I am in love already. The whole experience today was professional and thorough. All my questions were answered. He spent all the time I needed with me. I will be having surgery soon and I feel very confident.

Saw him once. Didn't even touch my L shoulder. Said I don't need surgery. Ordered cortisone shot. He was out the door. Nurse gave me the shot. Good bye. I called office later that day. I had been in excruciating pain from the shot which apparently wasn't put in the right spot. Nurse said it's OK, take some Advil. I consulted a Nurse friend who gave me instructions on how much Advil I could take to relieve the pain. My problem got worse, had to see Dr. again for surgery consult. Yes, I needed arthroscopy. He was out the door. Nurse had me buy the sling right then (insurance does cover). Office calls me later that day to schedule it. Kind of a rush job! Can I think about it? He has no personality, no bedside manner, too busy to see me, didn't touch the affected arm, does he care about his patients? He will NOT be performing arthroscopy on my arm. Learn how to talk to patients and get a personality.

Dr. Rabenold performed shoulder replacement surgery on my mom. He has a wonderful bedside manner and explained everything in detail and spent adequate time answering our questions. I highly recommend Dr. Rabenold!!

Dr. Rabenold did a total shoulder replacement on my husband this year. He was professional and explained in detail what our options would be and when my husband would be back to feeling good. Everything he told us turned exactly accurate. Very grateful to you!!

Had Surgery on my shoulder 2 years ago and would recommend him to anyone that is living with shoulder pain.

I have very high praise for Dr. Rabenold and his staff. The doctor hears what you tell him and then offers great advice. In my case, I had a total shoulder replacement. Everything went extremely well. I was expecting pain with the surgery and the physical therapy afterwards, but that did not happen. My recovery was very smooth and easy. Dr. Rabenold and his staff are not only efficient and knowledgeable but also very friendly and caring. I would highly recommend this doctor.

Dr. Rabenold and his team corrected my right shoulder that was an absolute mess. They did an amazing job; so much so that I forget I even had the surgery. I highly recommend them. The perfect combination of skill and care!
