The Difference Patients Notice
Many patients arrive after months of uncertainty. They have already tried physical therapy, injections, or simply waiting for the shoulder to improve - yet something still isn’t right.
One of the most common comments after a first visit is:
"No one has ever examined my shoulder like this before."
"No one ever walked me through my MRI."
Your evaluation is designed to provide clarity. You leave understanding what the problem is, whether surgery is truly necessary, and what the most precise path forward looks like.
You will also receive a detailed after-visit summary outlining your diagnosis and treatment plan.
A Structured Approach to Shoulder Care
Over more than 18 years in practice, Dr. Sohn has developed a refined, systems-based approach to shoulder evaluation and treatment.
Every consultation includes:
- A comprehensive shoulder-specific physical examination
- Review of MRI and imaging together, in real time
- Clear explanation of all appropriate treatment options
- A structured surgical plan when surgery is indicated
Each case is approached deliberately. Nothing is rushed, and the details matter.
Who This Consultation Is For

You may benefit from this evaluation if you:
- Have been told you may need shoulder surgery
- Continue to have pain despite therapy or injections

Not every patient requires surgery. If surgery is not the right solution, that will be explained clearly.
