Dr. Agrawal and his staff at the Shoulder Ctr. are excellent. I had a torn labrum repaired in Dec. 2008 by Dr. Agrawal. This was the first time I had any type of surgery and it went very well. I have a friend who works in the medical field and he sees the good and (not so good) surgeons daily and what kind of a difference a good surgeon makes. He also recommended Dr. Agrawal. Trust me, he is as good as it gets. If you are considering any type of shoulder surgery, you have found your doctor.

Unfortunately, there is no uniform requirement for full disclosure. Because many studies show that specialists doing a lot of just one procedure have better results, some doctors may not disclose their true experience. The best advice we can give is to consider getting a second opinion from a specialist that focuses only on the area or specific procedure you are considering. If your doctor doesn’t answer your questions directly or appears concerned about a second opinion, change doctors.

How can you verify that a dr’s claims are true. If they answer your question “How many total shoulders do you do?” with “I do plenty of shoulders” Is there a source I can use to verify the true number?
