Patient Reviews
“Last year I had some problems swimming, and I found out I had a right shoulder rotator cuff that was disconnected . Dr. Gittleman was able to use orthoscopic surgery to reconnect the tendons that were being shredded by my bone spur on my shoulder. The surgery went very well I was able to use the power of my right arm pool hard during the Australian crawl in swimming. Recently I found out my left shoulder was having the same problem, so I scheduled some surgery for that. Meanwhile we found out that I had some sophisticated cardiac problems that had to be taken care of. So in effect of using blood thinners for that procedure I have to wait six months to get my left shoulder fixed. I'm quite sure that will be taken care of with the same excellent professional orthoscopic surgery as before. When I was talking to my cardiac doctor who had the same rotator cuff surgery but not by orthoscopic means he really felt sorry for me that I had to go through such surgery, but in Dr. Gttleman's hands I think I will have very little difficulty with his noninvasive procedure.
Thanks for all the people at SCOI?”

“Dr. Mouradian helped me understand my medical problem and I felt at ease and familiar with him even on the first visit. I am progressing well and a lot faster to recovery than I ever thought possible. I actually look forward to meeting him for an appointment rather than the dread of going to the doctor's office. Thanks much for your attention to detail.
Cheers, Dan”
