From severe arthritis to swimming: Patient Testimonial
In this brief testimonial, a Montana-based patient who suffers from severe left‑shoulder osteoarthritis recounts his journey to shoulder replacement. He describes researching surgeons, selecting Dr. Patrick Denard—highlighted for performing over 300 shoulder replacements annually—and completing a Zoom consultation that convinced him of the surgeon’s suitability. The patient underwent an anatomical shoulder replacement in January 2025, was discharged the same day, and credits Dr. Denard’s staff (specifically Shane, Kareen, and Alisa) for their knowledgeable, efficient, and supportive care. By adhering to the post‑operative protocol, he was able to resume swimming at four months post‑surgery and enthusiastically recommends Dr. Denard to others.
