Betsy PattersonPortsmouth, NH six weeks after right shoulder subacromial decompression
“I took the pain medication for two days after the surgery and then stopped because I had no pain in my shoulder. When I saw the physical therapist, he was surprised that I have such a good range of motion. Right now, my pain is much better than it was before surgery. In fact, I do not have pain or the discomfort at extremes of motion.”
Carol L. OsterKennebunk, ME four weeks after right shoulder subacromial decompression
“Dr. Noerdlinger is the kind of doctor that informs you and gives you options. He lets the patient be a part of the plan. He’s also a great guy. I can ask him about his family, and he tells me. He makes me feel like a person, not a number, and that’s important to me. He’s sincere and knows what he’s doing. My operation went well because of him. I would recommend him to my family and friends.”
Margaret BeckNorth Hampton, NH
“Dr. Noerdlinger performed a total reverse replacement of my left shoulder and the results are great! The main thing I want to say is that he gave me my life back! I now have self-assurance that I can do things. I can lift my arm over my head, I can split wood, I can do anything I want, plus, I have no pain!”
Charles McKeel Jr.Kittery, ME
“I had to have my left shoulder done twice, since I had fallen onto my shoulder re-injuring it. The recovery was as I had expected. I am able to lift my arm straight over my head with no pain. I do not lift anything excessive with that arm since I have had it repaired twice and do not want to hurt it again.”
Florence LytleYork, ME after revising a prior left shoulder replacement that was painful to a reverse shoulder replacement
“I have not had any problems with them; I have no pain in my shoulders, just a little restriction when I reach overhead.”
Leo CainCape Neddick, ME is an 87 year young gentleman, who preoperatively had severe bilateral shoulder pain with 30 degrees of forward elevation bilaterally treated with reverse arthroplasties
“I have been very happy with my left shoulder rotator cuff repair. I would have no hesitations to come back and have my right shoulder operated on if needed.”
Stuart SennettMilton, NH after right shoulder repair of a partial articular-sided supraspinatus tear
“Dr. Noerdlinger operated on both of my shoulders last year (2007). I’m 60 years old now, and I have not felt this good since I was 45-50 years old, which was when I injured my arms. I’m a carpenter, so I depend on my arms for work. I’m still working and now I work like I was a kid again! I’d recommend Dr. Noerdlinger to anyone.”
Lloyd HendersonEliot, ME after bilateral rotator cuff repairs
“I found Dr. Noerdlinger to be extremely thorough. His explanation of the expectations before, during and after surgery was very honest and that allowed me to focus on my rehabilitation without questions. I had a rotator cuff tear and now, a year after surgery, my shoulder feels better than it prior to my injury!”
Lindsey BallouSomersworth, NH
“Dr. Noerdlinger was very attentive and interested in my condition. He repaired my shoulder and I am now recovered and I would recommend Dr. Noerdlinger highly.”
Thelma MalingWells, Maine after repair of the supraspinatus tendon
“Thanks for the splendid skill and care. I have no pain, keep up the wonderful work.”
Kent RosbergEliot, ME two and a half months after rotator cuff repair
“After surgery I wasn’t happy with my ability to do normal tasks, such as blow drying my hair, even though it was much better than prior to surgery. So I did research regarding Plasma Rich Protein injections, which was very successful with professional athletes, especially with the Pittsburg Steelers. I spoke with the director of the clinic, who actually started this process and presented all the information to Dr. Noerdlinger. Dr. Noerdlinger knew about these injections and was willing to try whatever I felt was necessary to get me back to my best ability. After a series of 5 injections I’m back to playing tennis for 2 hours with out any significant pain. I would definitely use the PRP series of injections again for any future injury.”
Laurel McKennaRye, NH. Six months after a rotator cuff repair, her tendon had healed but she required platelet rich plasma injections to eliminate her pain
“Before my surgery I was a steady 4-5/10 in pain. I went into surgery with decreased pain due to an injection but going in due to decrease in function. Surgery and rehab was exactly what Dr. Noerdlinger said, 8-12 months. I was telling myself I could return earlier but that wasn’t the case. The only post-op pain I had was one night. I was in Europe one-week after having my sutures removed and just having to wear a sling. The most pain I experienced through this was with Physical Therapy and the ROM exercises. I returned to work, modified duty, after 6 weeks, teaching pilates with restrictions after 2 weeks and full-duty at work at 16 weeks. The part I want to pass along regarding Dr. Noerdlinger is that he paid attention to detail. I had 4 small issues with my shoulder, with the copy of the Operation Report he provides to his patients, it states very clearly what he addressed. I had a colleague attend my surgery who said Dr. Noerdlinger was very focused throughout.”
Diane AttenboroughNewfields, NH 18 months after a SLAP repair
“I’m doing awesome. Over the past year I have had a perfect recovery, including follow-ups with the office. The one part that I appreciated was the way that Dr. Noerdlinger listened to the fact that I was not progressing in physical therapy and was not interested in cortisone injections. Then during my surgery we went in with a diagnosis and then once he was in found what the MRI did not show and fixed the new finding while I was still under. Dr. Noerdlinger is the man to see.”
Ben EllisYork, ME states after a SLAP repair
“I was in a lot of pain prior to surgery and my shoulder dislocated frequently. Now I’m able to dive, swim and do any type of activity with no pain or limitation. I think Dr. Noerdlinger did an incredibly good job, he’s extremely personable, the surgery went well and I’ve had no trouble since. I would recommend him highly to anyone.”
Johnna DourdoufisStratham, NH
“My shoulder is perfect and since surgery I have only had 2 days where it has ached. Recovery was shorter and less painful than I expected, compared to a basal joint surgery, this was nothing. The only difficulty I had at work was lifting buckets and that only lasted for 3 months, and after that I was back to normal. In all I hurt for years and was fixed in 3 months after seeing Dr. Noerdlinger.”
Dolores HoskerMoody, ME after distal clavicle excision
“I totaled my van in a motor vehicle accident and hurt both of my shoulders. Since surgery I’m back to doing my normal activities with my shoulders.”
Pamela ChurchEpping, NH states after bilateral distal clavicle excisions
“I hurt myself while weight lifting in the gym. After having surgery (on both of my AC joints) with Dr. Noerdlinger, I’m back into the gym 100%.”
Christopher DinardiStratham, NH says about both of his shoulders
“I’ve worked at York Hospital for 21 years. You go to a surgeon expecting to have surgery. Dr. Noerdlinger believes surgery should be the last alternative. That was so refreshing to hear! I am very thankful that all I needed was an injection and I’m feeling fine now!”
Elaine HamelSanford, ME
“Within a day after receiving the cortisone shot, I felt much better and the pain has 99% disappeared. I can use my arm without any problem, without any pain, let’s put it this way-it did wonders!”
Paul WeinerOgunquit, ME
“The cortisone injection in my right shoulder gave me years of pain relief, and I cannot wait to have another injection.”
Serena BrighiHampton, NH given a cortisone injection for advanced arthritis of the right shoulder
“I felt it right away; it has been good since. I am a little weak in the arm, but the therapist has taught me exercises, and I am working on strengthening in my arm, which is essentially pain free.”
Paul LemieuxDover, NH treated with cortisone for right shoulder rotator cuff tendinitis
“I am two months out from surgery and I have no pain. I can sleep on my shoulder, and I am so happy that I can use my arm, and I can start strengthening my arm.”
Susan GunningExeter, NH after a right shoulder arthroscopy and evacuation of calcium deposits
“I have had a very successful surgery on my rotator cuff performed by Dr. Noerdlinger. He was very clear in explaining all that I would experience, all that would be involved, the necessity of physical therapy and the outcome to achieve full recovery. Feeling confident and comfortable being in his care, I am grateful for his ability to return my quality of life without any limitations.”
Adelaide PrinceYork, ME two years after evacuation of a calcium deposit in the supraspinatus tendon
“I’m doing very well with my left shoulder. My experience thoughout Dr. Noerdlinger’s office was wonderful. Dr. Noerdlinger knows exactly what he is doing.”
Barbara SousaDover, NH 4 years after a distal clavicle excision and biceps tenodesis
“My shoulder is doing pretty good, I wouldn’t say perfect but 80 percent. I was not expecting physical therapy and the surgery itself to be as hard and painful to get through. It took me 6 months to get back to my normal daily living and 1 year for me to get back to tennis.”
Colleen HellerPortsmouth, NH 4 years after Subacromial decompression and biceps tenodesis
After a Latarjet Procedure having had two prior arthroscopies at an outside institution : “Out of my three surgeries, this was the easiest recovery. I had less pain than others even though it was more extensive. I was able to get rid of the sling quicker. I feel great with no issues. When I go to the gym, I can do my exercises without pain.”
