I was desperate for a solution to my left shoulder issue that didn't involve a reverse shoulder replacement. My shoulder had severe arthritis as well as a torn rotator cuff and torn bicep . My shoulder was a mess as this was the 4th time I torn my rotator cuff in my left shoulder.
I saw 3 orthopedic surgeons in the Boston area and they all told me that I needed a reverse shoulder replacement. I considered a reverse shoulder replacement a death sentence as I am highly active and would have severe restrictions with a reverse shoulder replacement. The pain was brutal, but I wasn't going to have a reverse shoulder replacement.
I reached a point where I could not deal with the pain any longer so started searching online for an option that didn't involve reverse shoulder replacement. I stumbled up Dr Kovack and made an appointment. I really had low expectations since I had already seen 3 top surgeons in Boston, but it was worth a shot. Dr Kovack reviewed my images and agreed that my shoulder was a mess, but he offered me an alternative solution of shoulder resurfacing along with rotator cuff augmentation. I had the surgery in Sept of 2023 and the results have been nothing short of spectacular. I'm golfing and at the gym 5 days a week and my left arm is as good or better than my right. I did go easy at the gym for the 1st year as my next option would be a reverse shoulder replacement and I'm never doing that.
Thanks

I found Dr. Kovach on-line while exploring options to address my right shoulder discomfort and x-ray confirmed osteoarthritis. My patient experience from start to post-op was seamless, efficient and welcoming
From the front desk staff to nurses, the P.A. , Connor Prusz and Dr. Kovack, the office and services are caring and purposeful in making sure that you are comfortable and reassured in the surgery process.
I had a reverse right shoulder replacement with additional needed rotator cuff and tendon repair and all the post-op pain I felt totally disappeared immediately! I was in minimal pain after the surgery to the point I really did not need the stronger post-op pain meds. By the one week mark, I felt like I was on my way to healing. Thank you so much Dr. Kovack and staff for your kindness, professionalism and the great job in taking care of me. I would not hesitate to return to you if in need of future orthopedic care!

I was impressed by the doctor who finally listened to my concerns without dismissing them with ageism or trivializing my symptoms, unlike previous doctors. The entire staff, from the front office to the surgical scheduling team, demonstrated exceptional care and professionalism throughout the process, starting from the initial call to schedule my appointment. This doctor's thorough approach, involving diagnostic testing to identify the underlying cause of my issue, has been a game-changer since February 2023.

First doctor that actually listened instead of saying, "well, you know you're getting old." Good diagnostician and set up some testing to get to the root of the problem instead of just treating symptoms.

I used dr. Kovack as a second opinion Which worked out phenomenally. Got me in MRI test done and straight to the point. I was able to get scheduled within a month and a half By doing what was asked. He got me in for surgery and had me out within an hour. I’m now five weeks in to recovery working with physical therapist. Coming along, slowly little bit surely but he had a very detailed plan of my recovery. Between the office and Dr. Kovack nothing but awesome services and consultations. I’m so glad I was referred here. I will definitely use him for my next surgery on my shoulder. Thank you orthopedics for everything you’ve done!!!

Dr Kovak gave me a cortisone shot in my right shoulder. He did an excellent job.
