Patient Reviews
Jan 08, 2026
I visited Dr Gottschall with constant neck and should pain. He order MRI for both neck and shoulder. We found a full tear in right rotor cuff. He explained all the options and consequences.We decide based on my activity level and fitness level that it would be best to proceed with surgery. During surgery he repaired a torn bicep tendon that did not show on MRI. Before the surgery he showed me a live video of the procedure and telling me it should go exactly like this. The video helped my nerves and curiosity. After surgery he was always available for questions. The surgery was in May of 2025. October 2025 back in the gym and playing pickleball. He told me after the surgery that he though I was going to like the results. And he was right zero pain!!!! I would highly recommend him as your surgeon. Karen
