Magic
Dr Bynum fixed both my shoulders- they are perfect. The recovery was borderline magic, meaning very little pain and function returned quickly. Don't tell him, but I never missed a day off work with either ( don't try this at home) as an orthopedic surgeon. Thanks Dr. Bynum for all that education and studies- it really helped me

The best!
I tore my meniscus and sprained my MCL during a workout and, as someone who has never had to deal with an injury, I was pretty scared. I was pleasantly surprised when I met Dr. Bynum and that he didn’t push surgery. He helped me understand my options and set expectations of how I may feel depending on the path I chose. I ended up opting for surgery and so happy I did. I was able to ease back into my workouts just three weeks after my surgery. Beyond grateful for his expertise and level of care!

left shoulder pain
I saw Dr Bynum today for severe pain in my left shoulder and after reviewing my MRI he recommended a shot of cortisone to relieve the pain and inflammation. Dr Bynum did rotator cuff and tendon repair surgery on my right shoulder in 2021 with great success. He is the only surgeon that I will use if my left shoulder requires the same kind of treatment. Not only is he a great surgeon, but a kind and caring physician also. It is very comforting to know that you can put 100% of your faith in a doctor today. I have numerous friends in the medical community here and he lives up to his great reputation.
