“I continually learn and teach the most advanced practices in shoulder surgery, so I can offer my patients the best chance for a successful outcome. As Dr. Charles D. Mayo said:
‘The safest thing for a patient is to be in the hands of a man engaged in teaching medicine. In order to be a teacher of medicine, the doctor must always be a student.’ (Proceedings of the Staff Meetings of the Mayo Clinic 2:233, 1927)
This quote exemplifies my approach to academic and clinical shoulder practice.”

I would like to recognize the excellent care I've received by you. In addition to being very knowledgeable having authored books in your field and a being a meticulous and skilled surgeon, I've been impressed by your availability to answer my questions( even responding when you were overseas), and coordination of care prior to and after surgery. You have given close attention to my postoperative physical therapy necessary to my recovery which was unexpected and greatly appreciated. I thank you for the high quality of care I have received and I know I would not be well on the path to full recovery had I not become your patient.
You are the most talented, compassionate surgeon and with a wonderful sense of humor. Many thanks for your great work.
After 3 years I am finally pain free and have full use of my shoulder thanks to Dr. Ticker and his expert surgical techniques . I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Ticker.
I was recommended to Dr. Ticker by a family member. I met with Dr. Ticker with a very painful shoulder injury that had been previously operated on earlier by another surgeon. Dr. Ticker was very thorough and compassionate while examining me and finding the problem. Dr. Ticker took his time and explained the procedure that he would do. He went over the MRI and Xrays taken and was very patient in answering questions that my wife and I had. On the day of surgery my wife and daughter were also there and again Dr Ticker came in and explained the procedure that he was doing on my shoulder. In just a few short weeks of Physical Therapy I already have almost full range in my shoulder and strength is starting to return. I am so grateful that Dr. Ticker was able to perform my surgery and put me back on the road to recovery.
I tore my labrum and needed surgery. I'm not sure how he did it but Dr. Ticker performed a pain free surgery. It has been six months since my surgery and I have had zero pain and am already cleared for sports. I am very thankful for his work and highly recommend him.
Dear Dr. Ticker,
Just a quick note to let you know how pleased I am with the care and treatment I received from you and your staff. It was truly top-notch. Many thanks to all of you.
Sincerely,
Kathryn S
This was my 2nd shoulder surgery, my 1st one was 13 years ago. After seeing Dr Ticker for 6 months, and not really improving using the conservative approach Dr Ticker first chose, I opted for surgery. I had a AC joint repair. Almost 2 months after my surgery, I am so pleased with my results. I have full range of motion in the shoulder, with almost no soreness left. Softball is the sport I’ve been playing for the last 30 years, and I will start throwing very soon.
I’ve never been to a Dr. where I’ve had more trust and confidence than I have in Dr. Ticker. I would recommend anyone with shoulder issues to him. He has treated four of the players on my softball team already,
After my accident I never thought I would have this much improvement. I couldn't even put my hand on top of the steering wheel. No I'm doing way better than I hoped to and it was all worth it.
Dr Ticker diagnosed and performed a flawless surgery to correct both labrum and rotator cuff tears in my right shoulder. Excellent bedside manner. Dr Ticker’s staff is also top shelf! I would gladly recommend him to anyone with shoulder pain.
Dr. Ticker fixed my "massive" tear shoulder !
Thank you so much for your expertise !
