I have a recording of a consultation with a Doctor at Panorama Orthopedics where he tells my wife…read moreas plainly as he can (with 3 interns in the room) that nothing, absolutely nothing, could be done for my Wife's shoulders short of complete replacement. We sought a second opinion from Dr. Dorf. Now, Dr. Dorf is a straightforward guy - about as straightforward as they come - but he is also a professional and he didn't bash the previous doctor, but the look of complete puzzlement by this previous diagnosis was difficult for him to hide. He felt he could give immediate relief with a cortisone shot - which he administered himself. The previous doctor told us that even with his 35 years of experience he couldn't get a shot in the right place without ultrasound guidance. Dr. Dorf didn't have this issue. He was confident he could get it in the right place - and he did. Again, the puzzlement was difficult to hide - but no bashing. ;-) After reviewing the MRI provided by Panorama (the same MRI the previous doctor used for his diagnosis) he gave us the opinion that he could scope her shoulders and give her years of less pain and he did not feel that replacement was something that should even be on our radar. She had bone spurs, partially torn rotator cuffs, arthritis, scar tissue. Dr. Dorf "clobbered" the spurs, fixed the cuffs, took out the biceps tendon and cleaned up the rest. Why couldn't the other doctor do that? Perhaps skill has something to do with it. What a difference. Our original diagnosis was disturbing to say the least, but i guess when all you have is a nail, the answer is always a hammer. Dr. Dorf is on a whole different level. To put it bluntly, this guy knows his shit and isn't afraid to do the right thing for his patient - even if that requires some stern advice on recovery from time to time. Additionally his support staff is awesome. Annie in particular was so great. She called us promptly every time we had questions and didn't mess around when it came to making sure my wife was taken care of in the best way possible. My wife also had trapeziectomy on both of her thumbs. the result is 2 thumbs, way up! If you go to Dr. Dorf prepare yourself for great care, great advice and counseling, and most of all - great confidence that the right thing is being done by the right people. Hopefully Dr. Dorf lives forever because we plan to, and we will never use another orthopedic doctor. Thanks Doc. :-)

I have now been receiving treatments since March of 2018 on a regular basis. In that period of time, I changed jobs, moved in with my boyfriend and his kids, and worked through some anxiety around driving on the highway. I now live about 40 minutes away from Rise Acupuncture, but still prioritize Renata's service and go see her every other week. I could not more highly recommend Renata and Rise Acupuncture.

Staff and doctors were very friendly, no issues here. The doctor took X-rays and said my bicep was bruised.

Meanwhile, I got zero relief from the injections from Steadman Clinic. I went to Methodist Sports Medicine here in Houston when I got back and got X-rays. I did not have a bruised bicep.I had a small tear in my rotator cuff. The doctor here gave me one injection. The next day, no pain, no issues. Did some rehab, game over. This visit in Houston happened in early Aug; it's now late October, no issues. You would think because of a misdiagnosis, they would dismiss the balance owed. Nope, I'm forced to pay it. So, diagnose me wrong and make me pay for your mistake.
