I always enjoy seeing Doctor Woodhead. He is a doctor that allows you to tell him exactly how you feel and how things went. The Surgery went great and I am glad to say that I will be recommending him to all my friends and others. Great Man and Doctor!

Dr. Woodhead and staff took great care with explaining treatment options and answering all my questions. I knew what to expect for surgery and post op. I’m glad I had my shoulder surgery done and am having great results!
