“Great Doctor”
This is my second shoulder surgery with Dr. Savoie. My left was done in 2008, and my right on April 3, 2019. My Left shoulder has always done well and my right is well on its way to recovery. I highly recommend Dr. Savoie for any shoulder surgery you might need. Great Job!!

I don't know where I would be without Dr. Savoie. He helped my arm heal without surgery and continued to encourage me every step of the way. I can do so many things that I never thought I could when I first broke my shoulder. Thank you, Dr. Savoie and the whole team.
