Dr. Churchill has a strong ability to communicate, but it is WHAT he communicates that is even more important. Based upon my current pain level (none) and limitation (also none), he does not believe it is in my best interest to do surgery to repair a partial tear of my rotator cuff and in fact, suggested that physical therapy might enable me to throw a ball again. This is in stark contrast to an orthopedic surgeon who, years ago, suggested surgery almost immediately before the tear worsened.
