I met with Dr. Wydra after fracturing my shoulder in a bad fall. He succinctly, but kindly, gave me my options, and I decided a total shoulder replacement was necessary. After making the decision, things moved quickly in an organized manner. Everyone we worked with was kind and new their job well. I highly recommend Dr. Wydra and his staff.
