Excellent care.

Dr McFarland is easy to communicate on my reverse shoulder replacement care. I have tried PT for 2-3 months. There is a big difference of opinion between Dr McFarland and my PT clinic. This leaves me vulnerable to incorrect PT exercises. Communication with the PT clinic could be improved. Understanding why my PT needed to be different would have helped. Otherwise I am happy with my outcome. I am glad Dr McFarland and fellow Dr [ ] treated me.

Dr. McFarland is a wonderful topnotch surgeon with a great bedside manner. I am lucky I was told about him from another Ortho surgeon who highly recommended him for my shoulder surgery.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/2/2023
As I reflect back over 5 years ago when Dr. McFarland began to treat me; I was pleased with his plan of treatment for my very bad shoulder. He did not hesitate to order a battery of diagnostic tests. My shoulder was fully evaluated before surgery was scheduled. Dr. McFarland's orthopedic experience, acumen, skill and precision in the operating room securely places him on the top tier of upper extremity experts.

Dr MacFarland is an exceptional provider. He explained my shoulder imaging and where my joints were damaged. He did a thorough exam of both my shoulders to see how much range of motion I had. He noted with me when my joints went "crunch crunch". He explained how much range of motion I will have when the surgery is over. He was very reassuring. He also explained what he saw with my shoulder to the medical student present so he is a good teacher too. I trust him to do my surgery in August.
