From the first time I met Dr. Mijares I knew he was the perfect doctor for me. He is very personable and highly intelligent. His bedside manner is excellent. He took the time needed to fully explain my shoulder – rotator cuff issue, and how he could fix it. At my next appointment I brought my wife and he took the time to explain it all to her as well, exhibiting patience and intelligence again. The surgery went smoothly as did the exercises he immediately prescribed for me, as well as physical therapy two weeks later. My follow up visits similarly were full of information about my progress and the future. After five months I was supposed to take a long trip and my recovery had completely prepared me for it. I highly recommend that you consider Dr. Mijares for your orthopedic issues. I think you will be very satisfied.
