| - I had a consultation with Dr. McGee early this year. He was referred to me by a local (private high school) football coach, who highly recommended Dr. McGee. The doctor was very knowledgeable, professional and confident in his skills to repair my badly torn rotator cuff. I was impressed so I scheduled surgery at that time for the following week.
I informed Dr. McGee that I had an appointment for a second opinion with a very prominent orthopedic surgeon the next day. Dr. McGee told me that was good but also said that the next Doctor wouldn't want to do the surgery as it was too complicated and would take too long. After speaking with the 2nd Doctor I couldn't believe his attitude about helping me and said he could not guarantee a good result. I was told it would be at least a month to schedule surgery, that I would be in a sling for 6-8 weeks and then start physical therapy. Dr. McGee predicted that would be how my consult would go and he was exactly right.
I had my surgery with Dr. McGee as scheduled and it was the best decision I could have made. Dr. McGee was honest with me that hard part was just getting started and that recovery was a long road ahead, but if I put in the hard work, I did not have to live in constant pain and limited mobility. I started physical therapy the day after surgery with D1 Total Sports Medicine & Orthopedics with my physical therapist, Mike Edwards. They are located in Dr. McGee's office and worked hand in hand with my surgeon to ensure my recovery.
I am very happy with my results. After 6 months, I was doing things I thought I may never do again. I have great range of motion, my strength has returned and I can get back to a normal life. Dr. McGee and his staff were very accommodating. He once made a special trip to the office to sign my prescription as I was going out of town and really needed it. Thank you Dr. McGee and all the staff, Brian, Angel, Heather, Perry and anyone else I have forgotten!
