Services
Shoulder Arthroscopy
Shoulder arthroscopy uses small incisions and specialized instruments to diagnose and treat joint problems. This technique reduces recovery time while addressing issues like inflammation, cartilage damage, and tendon injuries. Patients benefit from less postoperative pain and faster return to normal activities compared to traditional open surgery.
Rotator Cuff Surgery
Rotator cuff surgery repairs torn shoulder tendons that stabilize the joint and enable arm movement. Procedures range from arthroscopic repairs to open tendon transfers for complex cases. Our approach focuses on restoring function while minimizing recovery time through advanced surgical techniques and personalized rehabilitation plans.
Total Shoulder Replacement
Total shoulder replacement replaces damaged joint surfaces with prosthetic components to relieve arthritis pain and restore mobility. This procedure involves replacing the humeral head and resurfacing the glenoid socket. Patients typically experience significant pain reduction and improved range of motion within months of surgery.
Elbow Arthroscopy
Elbow arthroscopy addresses joint conditions through small incisions using a camera and specialized instruments. This technique treats arthritis, loose bodies, and ligament instability with reduced tissue trauma. Patients benefit from faster recovery and lower complication rates compared to traditional elbow surgery.
Meniscus Surgery
Meniscus surgery repairs or removes damaged knee cartilage to alleviate pain and restore joint function. Arthroscopic techniques allow precise treatment of tears while preserving healthy tissue. Recovery involves structured physical therapy to regain strength and mobility following minimally invasive procedures.

After several months of physical therapy failed to correct the pain and limited range of motion in my left shoulder, I sought the advice and counsel of Dr. Goldberg who advised that I was an excellent candidate for his novel Catalyst shoulder replacement procedure.
