Patient Reviews and Ratings

I’m a 42-year-old man who was suffering from a bone spur that caused the tearing of one of the tendons of my rotator cuff. I work in the Forestry industry so needless to say my job is very physically demanding. Also I love what I do and the thought of being out of work for an extended period of recovery was daunting. Dr. McLaughlin, being a true credit to his field, set my mind at ease with his knowledge, experience and high level of confidence during this stressful period of time. Equal credit is due to his surgical team who continually made me laugh before putting me under for a short 50-minute procedure.

Dr. McLaughlin, I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful rotator cuff repair. I waited over 2 years to have my shoulder examined and the pain was becoming unbearable. I couldn’t even hold 3 lbs with my arm extended. After the surgery when the nerve block wore off, all the pain I previously experienced was gone. Also, regarding post-op prescription meds, I took half doses for 2 days followed by 2 days of Advil. I was expecting post-op pain, but it never materialized to my amazement. Thank you again for your skill and follow-up care!

I would like to thank Dr. McLaughlin and his staff for the wonderful treatment I received. Not only was the surgery a success, the encouragement I received from the New England Surgery Center and their staff made me realize I made the right decision with Dr. McLaughlin. I have two friends that used Dr. McLaughlin, with great results. I am 4 months from surgery and just received the okay to play tennis, ski and golf. Thank you Dr. McLaughlin!

Dr. McLaughlin is great. Whenever I need an appointment, they are flexible with my schedule. He is always caring and kind when it comes to treatments and with any visits.

Dr. McLaughlin was just wonderful. He always was very friendly and genuinely concerned for my well-being. He performed surgery on my rotator cuff. Very professional and kind.

I was referred to Dr. McLaughlin to repair a substantial rotator cuff tear. At my pre-surgery consult, Dr. McLaughlin told me I’d be playing golf in three months. I just saw Dr. McLaughlin for my three-month follow-up and the first thing I did when I got home was grab my 7-iron.
