Need a orthopedist recommendation.

As I mentioned in above post I had a total shoulder replacement and as far as pain, I had little. The worst thing was that I had to go to PT twice per week and that was a pain. Not the pain of PT but the fact that I had to go 2X per week.
PT itself wasn't bad, I enjoyed the people there and they helped me because I couldn't get the arm above the shoulder and after a few visits I could. But as far as pain goes, it was nada.

Dr Thomas Fleischer at Orthopedic Associates over at NW 50th and Independence in OKC did mine; he said it was the worst rotator cuff damage he'd ever seen. I was 100% in a matter of 4-5 weeks following the surgery, it was all done arthroscopically. Not a lot of post-OP pain. Compared to a full slice-your-whole-abdomen-open hernia operation, it was nothing. Get 'er done.

If you mean Dr Thomas Flesher, he retired and the clinic is owned by Mercy now.

I had my surgery around 2006. They sent me home with an ice chest with tubing that circulated ice water through a cuff and a motorized chair chair that moved my arm up and down. I had to do two hours per session, four times a day in that chair. A week later I started therapy.

Today, the numbness and tingling I was experiencing before the surgery only return occasionally, but it has affected my shooting abilities. Nothing bigger than a semi-auto .308 and light loads in a shotgun.

My doctor recommends Dr. Avant. (https://www.southwestortho.com/kristopher-avant.html) Dr. Avant specializes in Hand, Wrist, Elbow, Shoulder, and Microvascular Surgery.

I am not an expert but its hard to believe you could be a specialist in 5 areas.

Go see Jim Bond. I’d let him operate on me anytime. Great man and great surgeon.

No, it's definitely possible.

I was waiting for @doctorjj to chime in, I didn't have any specific information on OKC-area surgeons.

Listen to this man. ^^^^

In the Norman area is the Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine group. My doc there is David Bobb. I have been very pleased with them.

I know somebody who's been under the care of Dr. Bobb a couple of times, and I think he was pleased with the results.

The only orthopedist who cut on me is someone I'd be happy to recommend, but leukemia ended his practice at OSM about 15 years ago. My dad had his wrist rebuilt by Dr. Vogel at OSM, who came highly recommended, and certainly did not disappoint. Dunno if he does shoulders, though; I think he specializes in the hand/wrist.

Dr Mark White. He is a medical doctor in physical therapy. He worked wonders with my foot, shoulder and hand.
