"I suffered a terrible shoulder injury tearing rotator cuff, labrum, 3 tendons off the labrum and bicep. Dr. Abeyta performed the surgery and put it all back together. He told my sister it was one of the worst cases he had seen in his 12 years of performing surgeries. The accident happened last July, 2019. Since then I rested, went through Physical Therapy and have recovered. I have no pain, and I thank Dr. Abeyta and his office staff for an amazing recovery!!!!"

“I believe that excellent outcomes can be achieved with clear communication and treatment plans that are tailored to the individual needs of the patient. I emphasize injury prevention and utilize a multidisciplinary team which includes highly trained physical therapists. Careful diagnostic evaluation, compassionate care, and application of current medical information and surgical technique are all important for returning patients to their pre-injury level of activity.”
