Dr. Itamura may be the best shoulder surgeon in the world, and that is not an exaggeration. My pectoralis and its insertions were torn, atrophied, and mangled from an injury 9 years prior to the surgery. My pectoralis was partially repaired from a previous surgery but it was still giving me problems. However, Dr. I did a revision surgery, and he restored my pectoralis to its original anatomy. Both I and the multiple orthopedic surgeons I consulted with before Dr. Itamura thought that that outcome was impossible. But Dr. Itamura and his team were able to pull it off. Dr. Itamura operates at a level of excellence that is impressive even among surgeons.

Dr. Itamura is a man of few words so you have to be prepared with a list of questions in order to elicit more information from him. That's not necessarily a bad thing but just something to be aware of. It became evident in the pre-operative visits to the office.

Dr. Itamura is amazing. He is so talented and experienced. He definitely wants to get to the bottom of things. The PA who came in first and started asking questions, is super clueless. I saw her spending a few minutes in my chart before entering the exam room and yet, she said that I was pending MRI. I corrected her and told her that the MRI was done and readily available. There were a couple of other questions that made it clear that she has no idea why I'm there and what has discussed previously. She was such a waste of tims.

I felt honored to have been able to see someone of Dr. John Itamura's caliber. His friendly demeanor immediately put me at ease. He had the foresight to include an evaluation of my cervical (and even ordered an x-ray that I had right away) as it related to my shoulder. I appreciate the time Dr. Itamura spent to examine me and explain my x-rays and MRI's as they relate to my shoulder condition. He gave me an article from The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery that explains the use of Orthovisc injections, which he will administer to me. I feel that he was interested in my long-term health and pain control as well as my osteoporosis. I was most impressed that Dr. Itamura gave me his personal card to ensure that I had his e-mail address to communicate any additional questions or concerns I may have. Overall, I was so appreciative of the care I received.
