I first met Dr. Ticker when he was the onsite Doctor for the US Open at Bethpage in 2002. That is top quality credentials right there! So, when I injured my shoulder earlier this year, I was happy to see Dr. Ticker was still practicing locally. My surgery was a complete success with minimal pain. Not only is Dr, Ticker a master Surgeon, he exudes confidence in one to make the best decision for their situation. He is kind, polite, informative, a listener and has a great sense of humor! I felt very comfortable and confident in his care. I highly recommend him to anyone that has a shoulder issue. Thanks again Dr. Ticker!!
