What type of doctor would one go see for a shoulder injury / possible rotator cuff tear? Does anyone have any recommendations and metro Detroit?

Seriously depends on your insurance! Do you have an HMO or PPO? If you have an HMO - then go to a walk in clinic or ER or your primary care Dr. Otherwise, choose your favorite hospital website, search for an Orthopedic Dr and go to the best rated one, that also does surgery. Surgeons are better due to the more hours for qualifications.

You may want to start with a PM&R (physical medicine and rehab) doctor. If you go to a surgeon, you will end up with surgery even if you don't necessarily need it. If you definately need a surgical fix, your PM&R doc will tell you and then you can trust that. Beaumont Royal Oak has a great group.

My least favorite doctor appt of the year is in an hour! The dermatologist. Why does she feel it necessary to look inside my butt cheeks? The way things are looking...
