John Carlson Testimonial

"After injuring my shoulder in a training camp practice I discovered that my labrum was torn and my entire season was in jeopardy. A few weeks of rehabilitation were not enough to restore stability to my shoulder, and it was determined by our team doctor, Dr. Ed Khalfayan, that surgery was going to be the best option for the long-term health of my shoulder and for my career as an NFL tight end. Every doctor I consulted agreed with Dr. Khalfayan’s diagnosis and recommendation, so the next step for me was to choose a doctor that I was confident in to repair my shoulder. I consulted with teammates whose shoulders had been repaired by Dr. Khalfayan and I was very pleased with how successfully they were able to transition back to playing football in the NFL, so I chose Dr. Khalfayan to repair my labrum. Before surgery he explained the procedure to me very clearly, laid out the timeline for recovery, and thoroughly answered all of my questions. The surgery was a success and only days later I was already working on assisted range of motion. Our team athletic trainers did a fantastic job of progressing me through my rehabilitation, which they were able to do safely because Dr. Khalfayan monitored my recovery very closely and continually adjusted the parameters within which we were allowed to work. It has been over six months since my surgery and my shoulder feels fantastic. Thank you Dr. Khalfayan for repairing my shoulder so I can continue my football career!"
