This is a short interview-style YouTube transcript where Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter interviews 17-year-old athlete Riley Scott Thomas (with his father Braden Thomas present) about Riley’s shoulder problems and treatment-seeking at Pinnacle. Multiple doctors had suggested labrum surgery; Riley reports the problem was in the front (anterior) of the shoulder rather than the back, and the family sought Dr. Schachter to clarify diagnosis and treatment options.

The front (anterior) of the shoulder (not the back)

They were trying to have me have surgery on the back. So we came to Dr. Schachner to figure everything out.
Dr. Schachner in the background. Riley, would you please give me your full name and age?
My name is Riley Scott Thomas. I'm 17.
Okay. And this is your dad? Braden.
Braden Thomas, 38.
All right. So, Riley, what was life like before your treatment? What did you come and see us at Pinnacle for?
I came into Pinnacle for my shoulder. I was having problems with swinging and contact of, like, the ball. Plenty of doctors told me that I needed to have surgery on my labrum, but it wasn't the back. It was front. And they were trying to have me have surgery on the back. So we came to Dr. Shagner to figure everything out.
