Randy of North Barrington, IL, sought treatment for arthritis in his left shoulder. After consulting another doctor, he turned to John P. Ross, MD at IBJI, impressed by their expertise and experience.
“From the moment I walked in, I felt like a first-class patient,” Randy said. Dr. Ross carefully evaluated his shoulder, recommended a complete reverse shoulder replacement, and respected Randy’s timing until he was ready for surgery. The procedure was successful, leaving Randy with minimal pain. He followed a thorough therapy plan and continued his own stretches and exercises, regaining strength and mobility.
Post-surgery, Randy returned to golf and cycling, riding 2,800 miles a year and traveling internationally with his wife on biking trips. “Golf and cycling are so much easier now—I feel like I have my life back,” he said. He advises others: “Don’t wait—get treatment sooner rather than later.”
Why did Randy choose IBJI?
“I had seen another doctor for my shoulder, and he had even taken out some bone spurs and showed them to me. I knew I didn’t want to wait any longer—I wanted someone I could trust, someone who had a bright future and the right experience. I chose Dr. Ross because he had studied under the best, is a scratch golfer himself, and I just knew he was the right person. I’m so thankful—he truly changed my life.”
