Patient Reviews
Aug 22, 2025
Dr. McCulloch replaced my left shoulder. I am 74 and had a 15-day trip to Italy planned in 12 weeks. I was going to have to cancel my trip because of shoulder pain. But Dr. McCulloch told me he would schedule me ASAP and I would be ready to go on the trip! I was leary, because I had heard so many horror stories of post-shoulder-replacement pain. At his encouragement I took the risk. AMAZING! Twelve weeks later I had almost no pain and only had to limit lifting heavy things during the trip. Dr. McCulloch has a bright and cheerful demeanor, with a touch of mischievous humor. I have never been to a doctor I would recommend more highly. Six months out, I can't even tell I had it replaced, except some mildly limited motion moving my arm behind my back. But this is normal and an easy trade for a pain free life!
