Shoulder and Elbow Surgeon Dr. Anthony Romeo in Chicago Schedule Your Consultation

Shoulder & Elbow Surgery Research Chicago

Dear Valued Patient,

We are, first and foremost, committed to providing you with the best shoulder care possible. In order to stay current with the latest technological advancements in shoulder surgery and treatments, we are actively involved in research pertaining to total shoulder replacements, reverse total shoulder replacements, rotator cuff repairs, shoulder instability, and other associated procedures. We aim not only to treat your shoulder injuries and pain, but also to determine why specific injuries may occur, to whom they occur most frequently, and how to actively prevent them, if possible. This research will continue to improve treatment methods for you and future patients both presently and in the future for years to come.

Sincerely,

Dr. Anthony Romeo, MD
