I held off as long as possible before surgery. Dr. Ticker was patient and never forceful to have this procedure.done. When I finally decided to proceed his guidance and surgical skills made this difficult operation as smooth as possible. Six months after surgery I am now pain free and continuing to gain strength in the right shoulder. Dr. Ticker is a fabulous surgeon and his support staff were always kind and helpful at every follow up meeting. The Orlin & Cohen physical therapy group at the Hicksville Road Massapequa facility were great. Todd and his staff at this location helped me through every step off the weeks of physical therapy needed to regain movement and strength.
