After my first shoulder surgery failed with another surgeon, I went to Dr Kennedy. From the moment I walked into his office, I knew I was in good hands. Dr Kennedy performed my second surgery and I have not looked back.

After years of increasing pain I was referred to Dr Stuart Kennedy for a total shoulder replacement. I am grateful for Dr Kennedy’s special expertise in enabling me to resume normal life, pain-free and with good movement.
