On April 18, 2018 I had surgery to repair a torn biceps tendon (Tenodesis), a Type 2 SLAP and a subscap tear repair. The surgery was performed by Dr. Roddy McGee. I have had several surgeries in the past and this was the best experience by far. Dr. McGee, his staff, the PT staff, and the staff of the surgical center were outstanding.
I was given the option of having a catheter inserted into my neck that dripped numbing medication onto the nerve of my shoulder using the On Q Pump. It was amazing. My shoulder was completely numb from Monday until Saturday. As a result, I only used 2 moderate pain pills (50mg Tramadol) during the course of 15 days. This approach prevented me from having the normal negative side effects related to pain medication. It also, produced a faster recovery for me because I was able to do more in physical therapy. The physical therapy staff continues to be outstanding and are conveniently located in the surgeons office.
This is the 1st review I have ever written about anyone. It is objective and unbiased, as I had never heard of Dr. McGee, prior to my referral to him by a great hand surgeon Dr. Jedidiah Jones. Since my surgery, I have strongly recommended Dr. McGee and the On Q Pump to my family and friends.
