Dr. Thorsness did a newer surgery to fix my shredded rotator cuff. The surgery is called a Total Reverse Shoulder Replacement. Dr. Thornsness is one of the few doctors qualified to perform this surgery. The healing time was significantly less compared to a shoulder replacement. It wasn't long before I had full movement of my arm, full range of motion, and no pain and I do not have a rotator cuff in my right arm. Thank You, Dr. Thorsness.

I had left shoulder rotator cuff surgery and Dr. Thorsness explained everything from the surgery to recovery/therapy. On every visit he took the time to listen to me and give me an explanation for my questions. Dr. Thorsness gets my highest praise and my thanks.

I was terrified when I found out I was going to need rotator cuff surgery. I was so lucky to have such a caring surgeon as Dr Thorness. He explained everything to me and asked if I had any questions or concerns. I was no longer afraid after I left his office. Surgery and recovery went great and I owe all to the amazing surgeon and extremely capable staff.

My husband I both had Dr. Thorsness for shoulder surgeries. He and his staff always took time with us. We never felt rushed during appointments, answered any and all questions. I would 100% recommend him for your orthopedic needs.

Dr. Thorsness is an excellent shoulder doctor, quality surgeon, and all around smart guy. I ultimately had a labral tear repair with subacromial decompression. My tear was NOT detectable through MRI, so surgery was a last option. Unlike many doctors I have seen, Thorsness took some kind of direct tangible action every single time I saw him with hopes of either recovery or at least diagnostic utility. No sitting on our hands with useless pep talks. With Robert, there was always meaningful action and a battle plan going forwar... read more

Dr. Thorsness greatly exceeded my expectations. Everyone I knew that had this procedure told me how terrible it was. His technique made my experience much better than I ever anticipated from the pre-op, to the post op care, he was excellent. I would strongly recommend him to my family and friends.
