Dr. Seade was always patient and treated my concerns as legitimate. I was in a rollover in 2020 and had shoulder pain and limited ROM, and after we tried conservative management, Dr. Seade went in and took care of the problem surgically. I have been recovering well so far and I can’t thank Dr. Seade and his team enough for their care over the last year. My career requires me to have use of my shoulders and I didn’t know what I was going to do if the pain or ROM never got better. Thank you, Dr. Seade and co. Thank you x like 1,000.

Even though the office is pretty darn busy, Dr. Ebert and his team are very attentive... And Dr. Ebert is an expert in the field.

And Dr. Ebert is an expert in the field. He was not pushy at all with surgery and explained the options I had prior to getting the surgery... I’ve been extremely happy with their care and knowledge. I come from a family of docs myself so I’m pretty picky and a high maintenance patient :) so trust me when I say Dr. Ebert and his specific team are great.
