I’ve struggled with shoulder issues for years since an accident years ago and I’ve had 3 surgeries to repair it. Dr. Omid was incredibly intentional with my care and was the first orthopedic surgeon to ever suspect there was something actually going on with my spine and perhaps not my shoulder. Thank god he did, because I then learned that the root of my problems is my cervical spine! He referred me to an excellent colleague who will now performing surgery to correct the issue. I’ve been in pain for years and have catastrophically had to adjust my lifestyle to accommodate the pain I have been experiencing. Had he not noticed that something else was going on, I would likely be in this pain until it would be too late to correct any damage to my spinal cord. I feel immensely lucky. I am deeply thankful for Dr. Omid and his medical expertise, sharp intuition, and sincere care for his patients.

He’s the man for shoulder surgeries. Did a great total reverse shoulder replacement on me that is holding well after 16 months post-surgery. Staff are also excellent. This is where you go for orthopedics.
