Dr. Jahangir spent an incredible amount of time listening to me explain the problems I was having with my shoulder as well all the previous treatments I've had with another physician. He then proceeded to prescribe what he thought were the best next steps and set up appointments to see a specialist to get me the treatment I needed. I don't think you could get a more attentive Dr to listen and together get you the help needed.

I specifically requested Dr. Jahangir after researching Orthopaedic surgeons in the state. His reputation, training and experiences are exemplary and for the 1st time in my life, I'm actually looking forward to having another surgery because I am confident Dr. Jahangir will fix it correctly this time.
