Patient Testimonials

  • After incurring a broken humerus from a fall this summer, I sought the expertise of NOVA Orthopedic. My son had been seen a number of times by another physician there, so I had complete confidence in the practice. After my initial consultation, I knew that I was in good hands with Dr. Press. He explained everything completely, gave me best options moving forward and did so with great care and concern. My particular injury required the bone to be grafted and my shoulder replaced. I was told by Dr. Press that it was a challenging repair, but I was confident that I would regain my mobility. My surgery for a Complete Reverse Shoulder Replacement and humerus repair went extremely well! I felt very little pain post surgically and my recovery has been a breeze. I credit Dr. Press, his surgical team and PT with such a great outcome! It's rare to find a doctor/surgeon who can connect personally with a patient and offer such a high quality of medical care! Thank you Dr. Press!!!!!

  • Dr. Cyrus Press has never operated on me but had consulted for me when I had a level 2 tear on my ACL. His 2nd opinion was very helpful and the exercises he gave me were essential to my recovery. As an avid athlete (hockey/tennis/running), I was back at it within 3 months.
    Thank you Cyrus!!

  • I had a total shoulder replacement done. I want to thank Dr. Press and his team for the outstanding job on my shoulder. Dr. Press explained all options and risks involved with the procedure. He did not pressure me into the surgery which I appreciated. It’s been 12 weeks today that the surgery was done and my shoulder is great. I’m further along than what my therapist thought I would be and everyone is happy ( myself included) about my results at this time. Still have more therapy to do. I will update at a later date. I would definitely recommend Dr. Press and his team. You guys are awesome.

  • Dr. Press was great! He was very good at explaining what was going on with my injury, and what we needed to do to fix it. He was easy to speak with, and made me feel very comfortable with his ability to fix me. The staff worked quickly to get me in and the surgery went very well. Post Op, the physical therapy sessions were easy to schedule and the program I was put on kept my recovery on schedule. MIndy and Deanna were awesome making sure I kept on schedule with exercises at home and in house. Would recommend this facility to anyone.

  • As if lightning struck twice in the same body, I've now had two reverse shoulder replacements, both left and right shoulders done by Dr.. Press. "AGAIN"...Dr Press is not a good surgeon, he is a "GREAT" surgeon. He understands your concerns, give you expert advise, and allows you to decide what option of service you would like to receive. Dr. Press has a very professional and proficient team of nurses aids to assist and prepare you for the procedure Dr. Press will be preforming. In two words, Dr. Press is "The Best"

  • I had a great experience with Dr. Press. Beyond the Dr. skills, he is someone you can talk with and he listens. My experience with the surgery to repair my rota-tor cuff and severely damaged bicep tendon could not have been better. I was one of the last surgeries pre-COVID-19 shut down. I had to be moved from two facilities and to have the surgery. His team worked hard to be certain I could get the surgery and that I was informed. From the first visit (diagnosis) through the surgery, his team communicated with insurance to insure approvals were in place. It was great peace of mind knowing the surgery was approved. Initially, the bicep tendon was not approved, but after surgery he submitted immediately to insurance to this repair approved. Thank you Dr. Press and team.

  • Excellent Doctor and facility! Had shoulder/bicep surgery for a labral tear and 6 weeks later feel absolutely wonderful. More range and mobility and almost little to no pain can't wait to see how things progress as the healing process continues. Major difference then when I went in. Couldn't have asked for anything better!

  • I had what more than one surgeon described to me as the worst shoulder they'd ever seen: from a general propensity to arthritis and a decades of playing tennis four to five times a week, leading to rotator cuff surgery a number of years ago, I not only had zero cartilage but also much of the bone the socket goes into had worn away, spewing bone clips all over the place. I could raise my hand only a few inches above my shoulder. I researched the surgeon for my surgery carefully, reading lot of reviews.....

  • Is what I’ll give to Dr Press and his team. I had a rotator cuff almost completely torn off. I didn’t know how bad it was just excruciating pain and discomfort. When I first saw Dr Press he said probably surgery, I didn’t like him as much but he had a very professional and empathetic demeanor about him which encouraged me to trust him; fast forward 10 weeks, I have well about 75% of mobility restored to my shoulder even though it’s still not fully healed. Still about 5-6 weeks to go.

  • Very pleased with my overall experience. I had my calcification of tendons in my shoulder and a repair of the rotator cuff. Dr. Press diagnosed and repaired the issue and now I am pain free. The scars left were minimal and my recovery time was very short. Throughout this entire process Dr. Press and team very attentive to my patient needs and answered all my questions. I had such a great experience with Dr. Press and team I referred my father-in-law who had been suffering from a similar issue for years... After a visit with Dr. Press for a consult, he is also now recovering from his surgery to repair detached bicep tendons. From the point of diagnosis to my day of surgery Dr. Press and staff were the best and I would recommend them to anyone living with shoulder pain/ issues.

  • Dr Press is a very kind and honest doctor. Always listens to your opinions and questions and answers without hesitation. My shoulders condition happened in a matter of months. Dr Press explained in detail prior to the surgery as it was alot to understand. I had frozen shoulder so physical therapy started 2 weeks after surgery. Three months later I am using my arm more than I ever thought. His assitant Brandy, was thoughtful and took every call with my concerns. Dr Press and his team do great work during and post surgery. I came from out of state to do my surgery as Dr Press is a true skilled professional doctor. I highly recommend him.

  • Can’t say enough good things about Dr. Press and his staff. I just had surgery done on my shoulder to repair multiple tears and will be in physical therapy at his office for the next 2 months. He did a phenomenal job on my surgery and he really makes you feel cared for. He’s definitely a doctor who truly loves his job and I highly recommend him to anyone that has shoulder injuries.

  • My Mother had rotator cuff surgery performed by Dr. Press on 9/24/20. While he was performing the surgery, he also noticed that my Mother had a torn tendon in her bicep and he decided to fix that as well. Many friends had told my Mother that she would be in a lot of pain afterwards. She proceeded to use an ice machine that targets the shoulder area for a month. Now, she is in her 3rd week of physical therapy and feels great! Thank you for having the "hands of God" while taking care of my Mom! Wonderful surgeon! We will make sure to pass the good word around!

  • i was having problems with pain in my left shoulder, I was referred to Dr. Press by my daughter in law who is a nurse anthsiology. I seen Dr. Press and I had been to physical therapy and then he gave me an injection in the shoulder which lasted about a week or so with pain again. Dr Press then sent me for an MRI which found a tear in rotor cuff and arthities. Dr Press said that I needed surgery but he explained the whole process and recovery time. Then he ask me what I wanted to do. I did have surgery and then physical therapy and now Dr. Press has released me after 3 months. I was very impressed by Dr. Press in the way he explains everything before he takes any action and you tell him what you want to do. No problems with surgery. Dr. Press is an excellent shoulder doctor. If I had problems again I would definetly go back to Dr. Press. I have complete confidence in his skills as a surgeon. I would also recommend him to my friends if one needed to see a shoulder doctor. Dr. Press is definetly the BEST.

  • Wonderful surgeon. Did rotator cuff and bicep repair on me. 11 days after surgery, I was starting P/T. Now at 3 months and 2 weeks post surgery, I'm doing so many things that I couldn't do before surgery. I'm still in P/T and I take care not to strain it, but the improvement is wonderful. Between Dr. Press and Village Therapy, I'm on my way to a pain free life, with an arm I can use.

He was thorough in explaining my diagnosis and his assessment for treatment. Excellent bedside manners. The staff who assisted was very professional/warm as well. I would definitely recommend Dr. Press.

  • What can I say that has not already been said about Dr. Cyrus Press. I will add that he is AWESOME. It has been 5 months since my surgery and although I still have another 7 months to have 100% use of my arm I will say that I should have listened to Dr. Press 5 years ago when he recommended surgery. He is a great surgeon and highly recommend him.

  • My 60 year old husband is currently 6 weeks out of his shoulder and bicep repair surgery with Dr. Press. My husband is very impressed with Dr. Press and the surgery he performed. My husband was told what to expect prior to surgery and his recovery is coming along nicely. His physical therapist was very pleased with Dr. Press's detailed instructions as to what had been done and the type of PT my husband should received. We highly recommend Dr. Press!

  • Dr. Press performed surgery on my rotator cuff (operating on the supraspinatus, subscapularis, and bicep tendon). The surgery was very comfortable and easy from the patient standpoint. Post-op and recovery have been absolutely pain free. On a scale of 0-10, with 10 being the worst, my pain level has been a zero (0). From start to finish it has been an very easy process and Dr. Press and his staff have been great. I highly recommend Dr. Press if you have shoulder pain.

  • Went to Dr. Press to repair a 1 inch full thickness rotator cuff tear that I had for 10+ years. Dr. Press is just awesome dude. He's really friendly and knowledgeable and I just felt great with my situation being handled by him. Dr Press did a great just with my actual surgery and I'm healing very quickly. I couldn't recommend him more.

  • HUGE shout out to Dr. Cyrus Press and Dr. Richard Layfield. I had struggled with severe pain during exercise and sleep in my right upper arm for a year due to a calcium deposit in my pectoral/deltoid area that formed after an athletic injury. After trying physical therapy, rest & anti-inflammatory meds without success, surgical removal was the solution. My surgery was at the end of September 2019. At 100 days post- surgery, I am SO RIDICULOUSLY HAPPY with my results. I heeded the instruction Dr. Press gave in regards to acclimating back into my normal exercise regimen. This was key in my recovery. I cannot thank these gentlemen enough. I feel fantastic and am pain-free. I am so very happy.

  • Dr. Press was fantastic.  He repaired a significant rotator cuff tear, as well as bicep, and despite the challenging recovery he prepared me for, it really was not bad at all!  Well, that is after the first miserable month in the sling. I also  believe the plasma injections he recommended at the time of surgery really help me recover faster then anticipated.

  • I had bicep tendonesies and rotator cuff surgery on September 12, 2019. When I came to Dr. Press, I could barely use my arm or lift it eye level or even straight up. today is 2 days shy of my 3-month mark and I believe that I have come almost full circle. I am able to life my arm all the way up to the front and side, as well as behind my back, which I could not do. Yes, I still have some challenges moving certain ways but for the most part my shoulder is better than it was 3 months ago. My recovery process seemed to be easy. I handle physical therapy very well and the therapists were surprised that I could do so much, so soon. my range of motion is just about 100 percent compared to 30 percent when they first measured me. I am Very pleased with the work Dr. Press has done and his bedside manner for answering all of my daughter's questions before surgery who is an MA. she is who I rely on when having major surgery because she knows the ins and outs. She trusted him, and he was not hesitant with her in his answering and this gave her as well as me much comfort. I thank the nurse who suggested I get a nerve block although I'm scared of needles. I do feel like I will be back to "normal" over the next 3 months when I go for my final follow up. Thank you, Dr. Press and my daughter, Taiesha the MA, thanks you as well. The photo is from my birthday, Nov. 27th, Happy patient, who had a blast!!!! I definitely would refer anyone I know who is having shoulder trouble.

  • After more than a year of basically not being able to use my right arm or sleep due to the pain I was experiencing, I made an appointment with Dr Press. WOW, what a difference that visit made! After performing surgery for rotator cuff and labrum tears, I feel like I have new lease on life! Dr Press not only walked me through everything that he was going to do and then did, but was instrumental In my progression after surgery and throughout my rehabilitation. Thanks Dr Press for getting me back out there fishing (without any pain) and doing all the other everyday things we take for granted. PLEASE don’t wait and definitely don’t hesitate to reach out to Dr Press if you’re suffering from a shoulder problem!

  • I had a traumatic fracture of the humerus. The head of the humerus was completely off. It was an.extensive surgery and required a plate and screws. Dr. Press performed my surgery and I have excellent results. I was concerned about my recovery because of my age but my healing is complete.My images have been reviewed by other specialists and they are very impressed with the repair.
    Dr Press is not only skilled but he also has a wonderful bedside manner. He explains everything in detail, reviews xray images with you, takes the time to explain and teach, and allows for questions. The office staff is excellent and efficient.
    I thank.God every day for being blessed by having Dr. Press perform.my surgery.

  • I recently completed shoulder replacement surgery with Dr. Press. He did a tremendous job, little pain and my recovery is proceeding quickly. I came to Dr. Press with a complex medical history and he navigated my specific needs very capably. His knowledge and desire to improve the quality of life of his patients is evident in all interactions. I strongly recommend Dr. Press to anyone considering shoulder surgery.

  • Dr. Press is the man! I had a 90% rotatory cuff tear, with a small bicep tendon tear, and Dr. Press did an excellent job in repairing my issues. He explained everything that I was to expect, with patience and kindness. He involved my family throughout the procedure and kept them well informed of my progress. Dr. Press exceeded all my expectations, and I am happy to report I have 75% of my shoulder function (post my assessment today), after 3 months of PT (which I am still going, as I have more to progress on), but I am ahead of schedule! Thanks to Dr. Press and the team for taking care of me. I highly recommend Dr. Press!

  • Dr. Press and his staff was outstanding during my initial visit, surgery and follow on visits. Dr. Press explained in detail my injury, x-rays, MRIs and why rotor cuff surgery was required: and why at my age (80) the recovery time would be a very long process. My procedure was completed on 20 Dec 2018 (on time) without any problems, and I have been basically pain free. After 26 PT sessions I have recovered about 80% use of my shoulder. Tom Haygood

  • Dr. Press is one of the most compassionate, knowledgeable, and effective doctors I have ever seen. Before I came to him, my shoulder had constant pain so bad I couldn’t sleep or use it when awake. This really hurt my spirit as well as my body as I’m an avid bowler and thought I had to give up my only hobby and sport that I really loved (and was pretty good at). Dr. Press saw my pain and assured me all would be well after rotator cuff surgery. He certainly was right. I had the surgery 12 weeks ago and with the help of my Physical Therapist, Kelly, I’m about 85% back to where I should be. This may not sound like great progress to some but to me it’s everything. I’m 67 years old and soon plan to get back to my favorite thing....bowling. I thank God I found Dr. Press. He and his staff are what I call A#1 in every aspect of their profession.
