My visit with Dr. Drake resulted in thorough diagnosis and treatment of my shoulder pain. He took time to answer all questions about the nature of my injury, to explain the best immediate care steps, to recommend a long-term therapy plan, and to schedule follow-up visits to monitor my progress. Dr. Drake seemed sincerely interested in helping me find the best ways to regain full use of my arm and shoulder.

Dr. Drake's knowledge and ability to repair my rotator's cuffs is superb. With each office visit he informs you of what needs to be done and how it will be accomplished. His physical therapy staff is one of the best I have worked with. I recommend he and his staff to anyone in need of this surgery
