Patient Reviews
Nov 15, 2022
I highly recommend Dr. Woodson! Dr. Woodson performed a rotator cuff repair after I was attacked by a tree. It was so bad that he had to use cadaver tissue for the repair. The surgery was a great success, and recovery went much better than I anticipated. For context, this is the second shoulder/bicep that Dr. Woodson has repaired, and both turned out great. The doctor is not only a great surgeon, but he is personable and listens well. The staff is also very professional and helpful. While I don’t want to damage any other soft tissue, I know where to go if it happens lol. A few tips: - Get the ice machine. Worth every penny, especially for those first 3 days. - Follow the instructions for post-surgery care and specific exercises. - Do the physical therapy, all the way through month six. This is the most important thing after the surgery itself. I was much more disciplined the second time, and it made a big difference! - And a shout out to Newport Physical Therapy!
