My website has been designed to provide our patients and other visitors with information about the practice, services we offer, patient education, office forms and much more.

    Shoulder Arthroscopy

    Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic and surgical procedure performed for joint problems. Shoulder arthroscopy is performed using a pencil-sized instrument called an Arthroscope. The arthroscope consists of a light system and camera to project images to a computer screen for your surgeon to view the surgical site... Arthroscopy is used to treat disease conditions and injuries involving the bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and muscles of the shoulder joint.

    Advantages of Arthroscopy

    • Less Pain
    • Shorter Hospital Stay
    • Fewer Complications
    • Faster Recovery

    Patient Testimonials

    • I had rotator cuff surgery by Dr. McLaughlin on January 4. I was prepared to suffer a long recovery but 2.5 months later I am beyond happy with the results! I have a few more PT sessions, but I am feeling the pain ease up every week. Having the procedure at the outpatient center was beyond my expectation, in and out in half a day. Wow!
    • Dr. McLaughlin performed a Rotator Cuff Repair on me back in November 2017. It was done so well that my recovery went amazingly fast and was basically painless. He develops a good professional relationship letting you know what to expect through the entire procedure as well as the after care. Thanks for the GREAT job and if I ever need work done again...I will be back!
    • My experience was one of quality care with Dr. Robert E. McLaughlin II,MD. Professional, caring, and trustworthy. I would recommend Dr. McLaughlin highly for getting the job done. My rotator cuff surgery was a great success. Thanks to him and his awesome staff I was back on the mend and back to work in a few months time. Thank- You for being the best Rotator Cuff Surgeon...
    • I've been suffering with shoulder pain for the last 20+ years constantly rolling from side to side in bed to get relief. Dr. McLaughlin quickly determined I had a complete tear of the rotator cuff as well as a frayed biceps tendon which was noticed during surgery and repaired as well. It has been 3 months since my surgery and I am back doing demolition. My shoulder feels amazing no more aches or pains.
    • Hello, my name is E.D. I had been suffering for a long time with so much shoulder pain I had to use pain management medicines that I would have to take laxatives throughout the week just to survive. After a long time of many professional opinions I just could not trust anyone surgeon. Ao here I am at an A.A.meeting and one of my fellow brothers in the program hears me...
