Dr. Papandrea was a great choice for my rotator cuff surgery. He is very reputable, approachable, encouraging and my surgery went very well. He is especially helpful with follow up questions and a text program that gives you great daily instruction.

I had a bunch of people praying for me and the Lord answered those prayers with the hands, head and heart of Dr Papandrea. I appreciate him a bunch and sincerely think...

Dr Papandrea was thorough and very personable. I would definitely return to Orthopaedic Associates for any future medical needs.
