“When my wife and I first met Dr. Waltrip, he explained that the shoulder is such a unique joint. He said it's like teeing up a golf ball, in that everything must be perfect–not too high, not too low, must be set at a proper angle. After hearing him talk at length about shoulder surgery, we knew he was the surgeon for us.”
–Sam P., bilateral shoulder replacement patient
