What is the Rotator Cuff?
“I have had the opportunity to interact with several of your physicians over the last three years. Most of the appointments were for my wife Suzanne, her care and the services she received were exemplary and led me to return to see Dr Lee when I had a shoulder problem. I have an will continue to refer Dr. Lee, Dr. Majors and Dr. Telis anytime the need arises among my family and friends. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a safe holiday. Brian Griggs”
