What Our Patients Say

"Kathy from Salem, OR wrote: Hello Dr. Denard; Thank you very much for the video, report and after care instructions. I also appreciate that I have received after care verbally, on paper and electronically. A “push” of several methods of providing information vs. a “pull” on my part takes thought and effort. You, Candace and the rest of your staff as well as the surgery center staff are incredibly attentive, professional and competent."

"Dr. Denard are and his staff are very professional and provide detailed information about the surgery, and post out. The preparation for surgery was very efficient and the people performing the surgery was very competent. They made me feel secure. I am making progress with physical therapy, and hopefully my right arm will back to normal soon due to the surgical skills of Dr. Denard."

-  Lillian Lynch

"I re-tore my shoulder and sought out 4 different opinions. Thankfully I found Dr. Denard and had a remote conference after sending him my images. He explained that he has great success with Superior Capsule Reconstruction with an allograft. I had that surgery in April 2017 and am doing great. Easier PT, ROM was great right after sling was removed. 4 months later pain free, 100 ROM, and good strength. This is the first time in 5 years I am able to help in our garden. Thanks’ Doc You are the best."

- Barry A. Perlmutter

"I had a torn rotator cuff in my right shoulder. I had constant pain and could hardly sleep. The operation wasn’t without some pain and discomfort afterwards, but after four months and my determination to do my exercises I am pain free and on my way to a full recovery"

- Richard Tarkon

"Dr. Denard is amazing at his diagnosis, plan of action, and follow up post surgery I had a total reverse right shoulder replacement in September, 2016, with an absolute minimum of pain and 100% success. I have recommended him to several people already."
