In January of this year I had a traumatic fall while at work resulting in a fracture dislocation of my left shoulder. I also completely tore my rotator cuff in the process. After researching several doctors I chose to follow up with Dr. Eric Launer as he appeared to have respectable credentials unique to my area of injury.
Dr. Launer was able to see me in a timely fashion and I had all my appropriate testing done. The MRI confirmed what he suspected and I was in surgery soon after. Because of the severity of my injury I had to stay overnight in the hospital. Dr. Launer spoke to my wife in detail after the surgery regarding his findings. He also checked in with me that evening and again the next morning. He was never rushed in his approach with me and answered all my questions.
Dr. Launer kept a close watch on me during my recovery period. He saw me in the office, frequently at first, and then monthly. My physical therapy regime was adjusted as needed as I progressed.
I am a forty- nine year old male who works a very physical job. I truly thought my job as I knew it was over. Thanks to Dr. Launer's expertise and caring nature I have returned to work full duty a month earlier than was expected. Dr. Launer had made a promise to me that he would give me my arm back. He did. How lucky am I to have chosen the right doctor?!
