Patient Reviews
Dec 06, 2022
Originally saw Dr Urband for a shoulder repair. Discussed three potential procedures: reverse shoulder replacement, rotator cuff ligament repair and recently approved in the U.S., a balloon insertion. Opted for the balloon in December 2021. Very successful so saw the doc again for right hip replacement. Used posterior approach. Very successful. Would gladly recommend Dr Urband.
