Dr Harriott did my repair in 2009. Very happy, full range of motion
Vera B. replied:
I have been told that Dr. Boytim with Cape Orthopedics in Lewes is good. He did my ex-bf's rotator cuff last year.
Joseph L. replied:
Do not go to Dr. Boytim, again do not go to Dr. Boytime or the doctors in that practice.

Dr Pillai!

Dr Pillai decided that I did not need rotator cuff surgery - just PT and a shot of Cortisone or the equivalent they use now. My shoulder gets stiff and a bit sore sometimes but no surgery, I couldn't imagine a surgeon not recommending surgery. It's like getting an estimate from a mechanic and then not having to pay as much as the estimate. She also has wonderful "bedside manner" and is very professional.

Kris Etze, please explain your comments about Dr. Harriott, he comes highly recommended. Chris M Reed, so glad you had a good experience with Dr. Pillai. My experience with her was TOTALLY different. No PT, just a shot and excercises at home, then after several months of pain, decided it was rotor cuff and needed surgery, (turns out it was not rotor cuff, just frozen shoulder) and still no PT for several weeks after surgery until I asked for it. By then more damage was done. Trying to find someone to help now. So sorry Sussex Cty is so short on good medical care in so many areas. Sad we have to travel To MD, PA or North DE for quality care.
