Shoulder experience with Dr. Duckett
I had a great experience with Dr. Duckett and his team at Academy Orthopedics. We tried everything before surgery, including physical therapy and shots for about a year, so surgery was definitely not his automatic go-to. He took the time to explore conservative options first. When it became clear that surgery was the right next step, Dr. Duckett performed my shoulder surgery, and it truly gave me my life back. My recovery was faster than I expected, and I’m finally getting back to living normally again. I’m extremely thankful for Dr. Duckett and his entire team. They were professional, caring, and helped me through the whole process. I highly recommend them to anyone dealing with shoulder issues.
