I loved Dr Knight. He is personable and patient with my questions. Like a magician! I'm extremely happy and can't believe this reverse total shoulder replacement was so successfully treated through the size of the wound/scare i have. The whole team was amazing, start to finish

Dr. Knight is a top-tier surgeon! He independently identified my 6mm cervical narrowing and provided a clear path for my shoulder repair. He’s thorough, professional, and listens to his patients. Highly recommend for complex industrial injuries!
