Testimonials

“

Dr. Jesse Allert is the BEST! I had a severely damaged/torn rotator cuff injury from a fall. Dr. Allert performed arthroscopic surgery on my shoulder six weeks ago and I am healing beautifully. He is a highly-skilled surgeon. The four small incisions in my shoulder from the surgery are almost healed and will be unnoticeable. My range of motion is improving daily and I anticipate full use and full strength in my shoulder within another 4 to 5 months. He is an excellent communicator and took his time to explain my condition to me in language I could understand. My wife and I have found him to be kind, humble, and genuinely caring during every interaction.
We trust him implicitely. We also found Leslie, his Surgical Coordinator, as well as his entire staff to be polite, professional and caring. Thank you Dr. Allert and team!!!

My whole life I have been dealing with many orthopedic issues including multiple hip replacements, knee replacement, knee surgery, toe and bunion surgery. My shoulder replacement surgery performed by Dr. Allert was the best surgical procedure I have ever had. He is an excellent surgeon who spends the time with the patient to make surgical experience easy, painless and successful. He is your best option for this type of surgery.

I highly recommend Dr Allert, I went for a second opinion he advised me not to have surgery. He took his time to explain why and show me diagrams and models. First I want to say I broke my shoulder 5 months ago and been going to physical therapy. I went because I was concerned if I had surgery I needed to take off at least 5 months from work. I was no longer in great pain and could raise my arm now. I felt i didn’t need surgery so I drove 2 hours to see him. His beside side matter are like no other doctor I have been too friendly, courteous and answered all my questions I had. . I’m so glad that a friend recommended him and I took that drive. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

I am writing to share the wonderful experience and care that I have received and continue to receive from Dr. Allert and his entire team at Restoration Ortho, especially Mercedes and Diana who deserve special mention. After an unexpected injury in October, I was very fortunate to find Dr. Allert who had experience with this relatively rare condition.

I had a full thickness rotator cuff tear and after a diagnosis of a reverse shoulder replacement I saw Dr Allert. He was recommended by my son in law, they are friends. Dr Allert repaired my rotator cuff and I am 6 months post surgery and I have full range of motion. I can’t thank him enough. I had to travel 2 hours and he was definitely worth it. The staff was also very accommodating.
