James D. Dalton's Online Review Report Card

I previously had a bad rotator cuff surgery experience with another Surgeon, in Mt. Pleasant, SC, in November of 2022. When I met Dr. Dalton for the first time, I was pleasantly surprised, and very appreciative of how much time he spent with me explaining my situation in a manner that had never been discussed before. He introduced different options to me and made me feel extremely comfortable with my decision. My surgery was a success, and I could not be more pleased with the outcome. I went into surgery on Friday 02/10/23, and I was back to work on Tuesday 02/14/23 with little, to no pain in my shoulder. He is a phenomenal Surgeon, as well as a person, and I would highly recommend he and his wonderful staff to anyone who may need shoulder surgery. Thank you, Dr. Dalton.

This was my first initial appointment with Dr Dalton for my failed 7 months post operative full thickness rotator cuff repair. He didn’t introduce himself to me or my son upon entering the room. He told me he didn’t have my file however had some papers in his hands. I had all my records sent over months before this appointment so dishonest was a reflag. I ended the appointment. He failed to perform a proper, safe examination. As I opened the exam door to leave Dr Dalton told me to stop he needed to “test my strength .” Right there in the doorway with patients, other colleagues and my son looking. I almost fell because I was on my walker at the time and he needed my right arm to test my strength. A wasted trip to find out if revision was possible for my failed rotator cuff repair . Very disappointed in quality of care.

Failed shoulder reversal surgery find another surgeon.

In may of 2021 doctor dalton did my shoulder reversal which turned out to be a total disaster I still have just as much pain as before no difference still can’t use my arm still can’t sleep cause of the pain all the time surgery and therapy did not help thousands of dollars waisted. I told him I wanted to see a different surgeon their was no attempt on his part to direct me on were to go I had by to find out for my self his nurse would not return my phone calls when I complained constantly about how awful the pain was. This doctor and office is the most uncaring and unprofessional health care provider that I have ever seen I honestly don’t know how they sleep at night.

Had shoulder reversal not happy 13 weeks later in still as much pain as before surgery pretty much little to no pain med given doctor does not return phone calls. Pain much more than ever was explained to me.

My name is Ron and my wife Barbara have been going to SC Sports Medicine Center for over 10 years and myself (Ronald) recently had left knee replacement around March 19th., 2021, and had excellent results in the surgery both before and after the surgery. Staff was outstanding and my Doctor was DR. James Dalton M.D. and the P.A. was Lamar Hood. What a team they are and answer all your questions and have excellent and professional manners. It's been just over six weeks since surgery and everything is going just like they have discussed with me with the healing process etc; as they have mention everybody heals different like the healing process, some longer than others. But for me having very positive results so soon. Again many thanks for my Doctor and staff of the SC Sports Medicine Center. Job well done and keep up the great work and service they provide!

Dr Dalton & his PA Lamar Hood explained everything to expect for my reverse shoulder replacement. I was at ease after they educated me.

I can't thank the doctors, PA's, nurses and staff at SC Sports Medicine enough. Dr Hulvey and his team diagnosed my problems, Dr Wartinbee and his team corrected carpal tunnel in both hands and Dr Dalton & his team corrected a torn rotator cuff. Highly recommend this entire team.
