Patient Reviews
Apr 24, 2024
Dr. Choate did an amazing job with the surgery on my left shoulder. I had an injury which I hurt my biceps tendon and made it hard to hold anything with my left arm. All of the pain is gone and I can lift my kids again. His bedside manner is just off the record. He is an fantastic surgeon who really knows his stuff. I cannot say enough about him. After surgery I had to have physical therapy and the department was fantastic. He followed up closely with me to make sure that I would improve postop. He made sure to take care of me, even after the surgery to make sure that I would get to where I needed to be. If I needed anything done shoulder wise in the future, I would return to him I recommend them to my friends and family. I would highly recommend him along with his team.
