Having a good repair of my rotator cuff tear was, of course, important. As an ER RN and active Olympic style weightlifter, I need my arm! Dr Heffernan really took the time to consider my lifestyle and desired outcome in helping me decide on the best course of treatment. He was very straightforward with me about what to expect during recovery, and I appreciated the no-nonsense approach. Anyone with rotator cuff injuries know, sleeping is next to impossible due to pain. I’m five weeks out from surgery, and I’m finally starting to sleep for more than an hour at a time. I feel better all the way around. I start PT next week!
