"Dr. Jacobsen spent a lot of time showing me what the procedure looked like and why he had chosen a reverse shoulder replacement rather than the standard shoulder replacement. He also showed compassion and concern in making me better. Also, at a previous visit, the two ladies who took my x-rays were very nice."

Lorie R.

"First appointment. I was early to fill out paperwork. Met with intake nurse, had 4 x-rays taken, and back in the room waiting for the doctor at 4 mins after my appointment time. I was expecting a long waiting time but this office is too efficient! X-ray tech even offered and assisted with re-fastening my bra after x-rays were taken. Excellent care and attention to my specific injury."

"Dr. Jacobsen has been an exceptional physician/surgeon. During my office visits he has answered questions and has been very good at explaining all phases of my care from my first visit to my post operative visit. I had surgery on Friday and my first PT visit is today (4 days after surgery). It went very well! Dr. Jacobsen is certainly a five out of five star surgeon as well as a kind man!"

"Dr. Jacobsen is a wonderful surgeon! I had my left shoulder replaced a year ago. It was the most painless surgery I've ever had. My shoulder works pain free. The after care is wonderful. I'm about to have my right shoulder replaced and I wouldn't have anyone but Dr. Jacobsen do it."

Shoulder Arthritis

Often associated with the wear and tear of aging, arthritis can also occur at the site of a former injury.
Rotator Cuff Tears

Most rotator cuff tears do not heal on their own. Without treatment, these tears may even get larger.
Frozen Shoulder

While frozen shoulders can take a long time to resolve, most do so spontaneously and without surgery.
Shoulder Instability

Does your shoulder feel loose, like it may give way? This can lead to dislocation and joint damage.
Biceps Tendinopathy

If you have a biceps tendon injury, you may feel pain at the front of your shoulder that worsens at night.
Shoulder Trauma

Fractures, dislocated shoulders, and soft tissue damage can all result from trauma to the shoulder.
