How We Work

After your first visit, Dr. Ayzenberg reviews your imaging and medical history, then walks you through your options in plain language. If surgery makes sense, he uses advanced arthroscopic techniques that reduce recovery time and limit tissue disruption. If a non-surgical path is viable, such as regenerative treatments or physical therapy, he lays that out too. Follow-up care is built into the plan from day one, not added as an afterthought.

Common Questions

What types of shoulder injuries does Dr. Ayzenberg treat?
Dr. Ayzenberg treats a wide range of shoulder conditions, including rotator cuff tears, labral tears, shoulder instability, AC joint injuries, and impingement syndrome. As an orthopedic surgeon focused on shoulder and knee care, he handles both surgical and non-surgical cases. Your treatment depends on the specific injury, not a standing protocol.
Do I need surgery for my shoulder injury?
Not always. Dr. Ayzenberg evaluates every patient individually before recommending surgery. Many shoulder injuries respond well to regenerative treatments, physical therapy, or a combination of both. He'll give you a straight answer about which path fits your situation.
How long does shoulder surgery recovery take?
Recovery time depends on the procedure and the severity of the injury. Arthroscopic shoulder surgery typically involves a shorter recovery than open surgery, but full return to sport can take anywhere from three to six months. Dr. Ayzenberg gives you a realistic timeline at the start, not a best-case estimate that shifts later.
