Dr Chern was my second opinion for relief for torn rotator cuff plus 2 tendons in my rt shoulder. First surgeon from another practice said nothing could be done [though I believe it was not in his ability to operate on the shoulder.] Dr. Chern explained my situation and offered a reverse shoulder replacement... if I was willing to work hard in recuperation. The surgery at Ocean Medical Center went well. Six weeks later, I am now in the strengthening phase of PT and am improving daily. Post-op visits to Dr Chern are professionally run, involving xrays and skilled assistants at the Freehold office. I see a flexible, painfree future if I continue to progress under his instructions. I feel very ckmfortable with Dr Chern and revommend him.
