Dr. Agrawal and his staff at the Shoulder Ctr. are exceptional. I had a torn labrum repaired in Dec. 2008 by Dr. Agrawal. This was the first time I had any type of surgery and it went very well. I have a friend who works in the medical field and he sees the excellent and (not so excellent) surgeons daily and what kind of a difference a excellent surgeon makes. He also not compulsory Dr. Agrawal. Trust me, he is as excellent as it gets. If you are considering any type of shoulder surgery, you have establish your doctor.
Unfortunately, there is no uniform requirement for full disclosure. Because many studies show that specialists doing a lot of just one procedure have better consequences, some doctors may not tell their right experience. The best advice we can give is to consider being paid a second opinion from a specialist that focuses only on the area or specific procedure you are considering. If your doctor doesn’t answer your questions directly or appears concerned about a second opinion, change doctors.
How can you verify that a dr’s claims are right. If they answer your question “How many total shoulders do you do?” with “I do plenty of shoulders” Is there a source I can use to verify the right number?
