I had rotator cuff surgery in March 2020. My goal was to be able to play racket sports again. Dr. Shantz and his team are highly professional and approachable. I am so grateful for the level of care I received and am delighted with the results. Suffice to say that I am happily swinging my tennis racket again!

Dr. Snider is an excellent surgeon. I've just had my second total knee replacement performed by him and I'm finally looking forward to a pain free summer. The office staff is fantastic and listens to your questions and answers clearly and honestly. I highly recommend Dr. Snider.
