I would DEFINITELY refer anyone to my Dr. In fact, one friend has already visited Justin. I had NO PAIN after his surgery. I took one oxy out of fear of what was coming. I never took another one. I'm so happy about this cause I was scared. I put this surgery off for years ..and I'm sorry that I did.

I am 6 months post massive rotator cuff surgery. I was extremely anxious before I had my surgery , but now I am glad I did it and feeling so much better. Dr Rabinowitz was honest and explained everything in detail. His professionalism , confidence, and honesty made me feel at ease. He is awesome. Hopefully I won't need any further surgeries but I would 100% recommend him.
