Conditions

Specialties at a Glance
  • Trigger Finger

    A trigger finger is a common problem that causes pain and catching. It is a defect in a tendon causing a finger to jerk or snap straight when the hand is extended.

  • Shoulder Impingement

    Impingement is one of the most common causes of pain in the adult shoulder. It results from pressure on the rotator cuff from part of the shoulder blade (scapula) as the arm is lifted.

  • Rupture of the Biceps Tendon

    If you tear your biceps tendon, you may lose some strength in your arms and be unable to turn your arm from palm down to palm up. You may also notice a bulge in the upper arm (Pop-eye muscle).

  • Rotator Cuff Tears

    Rotator cuff tear is most common in people who are over the age of 40. It may occur in younger patients following acute trauma or repetitive overhead work or sports activity.

What our patients have to say

testimonials
  • 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.

    Nicole McCann
  • I had the misfortune to break my collarbone, and was referred to Dr Kennedy by a friend. I found Dr Kennedy to be very knowledgeable and professional. I would thoroughly recommend him to others.

    Roslyn Miller
  • 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.
