A month after my initial visit, I had rotator cuff surgery and although it has only been two weeks since, I am surprised at how much mobility I have.

Just think that I need not of spent a year with a deteriorating condition had I found Dr. Gill sooner. But, I found him. I am very grateful for his expertise, the wonderful staff and for all the resources for the exercise protocols. What can I say, he is my hero. Thank you Dr. Gill.

Both Jackie and Brian use hands-on techniques and a range of manual therapies, paying close attention to progress over time. Their treatments effectively combine true tissue mobilization and tension release while gradually adjusting the nature and intensity of strengthening exercises week to week. Jackie is extremely caring, patient, and conscientious and is particularly effective at determining what to focus on during each session. Brian is brilliant in his diagnostic work and comprehensive in his approach to treatment (like the House of physical therapy), working across interconnected muscle groups in a holistic way. Jon and Kevin are also fantastic in terms of leading patients through exercises - they took the time to explain movements clearly and offer corrections, adjustments, and suggestions when needed. I can't recommend this team enough! They are true professionals and also have a great sense of camaraderie - they seem to genuinely enjoy their work. (I had originally started at the ATI Canton location, but unfortunately, at that office they really only give you strengthening exercises that you just repeat each time, with almost no diagnostic or hands-on treatment).

The pain was excruciating, and continued to get worse over time. One of my colleagues who was seriously injured in a surfing incident a year earlier, that basically destroyed his shoulder (broken bones etc) had been treated by Dr. Tim Hartshorn, and recovered completely recommended that I go see him. I did, and I IMMEDIATELY knew I was in the right place, with the right doctor. Ultimately, I required surgery to repair my shoulder, but prior to actually scheduling surgery, I needed to finish out the work season on light duty. Dr. Hartshorn gave me direct steroid injections to the shoulder joint over the course of the next few months to get me through the rest of that season. At the end of the season, I went in for surgery in the morning, and was back home that afternoon. Almost immediately, Dr. Hartshorn had me on a physical therapy routine that got me moving my newly repaired shoulder in short order. Over the course of the next several weeks, the pain subsided, my range of motion returned as I continued physical therapy, and in less than 3 months, I was back at work with no restrictions. What you need to understand is that prior to seeing Dr. Hartshorn, I could not even hold a coffee cup in my left hand without serious pain. The act of threading a belt through my pant loops required assistance from my wife. Sleeping was nearly impossible and I was a wreck due to lack of sleep. Surgery takes time to fully heal from, and I knew that going in. It also takes commitment by you, to do the exercises, and range of motion stretches prescribed by your physical therapist or doctor. If you don't do that, you will not recover completely. I knew that going in as well. Dr. Hartshorn made sure I knew that this was not going to be easy, or fun, but it (the PT and stretchers) was absolutely necessary for fast recovery and the best possible outcome. Without question or reservation of any kind, I can absolutely say that if you are reading this because you have injured your shoulder, and are at the point where a solution other than you just "roughing it out" is necessary, and you have found Dr. Tim Hartshorn, Your are one fortunate individual. It is my belief that you will NOT find a better physician, surgeon or human being than Dr. Tim Hartshorn. Congratulations, and rest easy. You are in the right place. For those wondering why, 2+ years later I might be here writing a review for Dr. Hartshorn, it is really simple. I have since injured my other shoulder, and have been in the care of a doctor who was prescribed by workers comp out here in California. I am miserable, I require surgery and I decided to reach out to Dr. Hartshorn to see if he would be willing to look at my MRI and perhaps give me a recommendation for surgeons he personally knows and would comfortably recommend out here in Cali. Well, being the rock star that he is, as I mentioned in my first paragraph, Dr. Hartshorn called me directly himself. Not his staff, or some mouth piece like I would have expected to hear from out here, but he himself. I was actually not surprised to be honest, because that is the kind of doctor Tim Hartshorn is. Like I said Boston, consider yourselves VERY fortunate to have this guy in your wheel house. It does not get any better than him. I wish you well on your treatment and recovery, but have no doubt that you will be just fine. THANK YOU Dr. Hartshorn. THANK YOU.
