For three years, John Grier of The Villages endured constant shoulder pain. He could no longer sleep on his right side, and reaching his arm in an upward position to complete household chores proved increasingly painful and difficult.

“I didn’t feel like I had the strength or flexibility in my arm that I once had.”

Enough was enough. He visited Dr. Isaac Mitchell, an orthopedic surgeon at Tri-County Orthopaedic Center. A diagnostic test revealed that John needed a total shoulder replacement.

He tried delaying the surgery. But the pain continued, and he found himself back in Dr. Mitchell’s office three months later.

“Dr. Mitchell answered all my questions and addressed all my concerns. He is knowledgeable, professional and really put my mind at ease. I felt very comfortable that he was going to do my surgery.”

John agreed to undergo surgery, and from a health standpoint, it was one of the wisest decisions he has ever made. Dr. Mitchell performed a total shoulder replacement on John seven weeks ago. He is currently undergoing physical therapy at TriCounty Orthopaedic Center, and his shoulder is healing wonderfully.

“I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Mitchell. He is a very kind man and an extremely talented surgeon. In fact, the experience with his entire staff has been remarkable. If I develop any orthopedic problems in the future, I would not hesitate to go back to Dr. Mitchell.”
