Dr. French, in my opinion, is one of the best shoulder surgeons available today. He rebuilt my right shoulder in 1994, and I have total use of my shoulder with no pain or restrictions. It was very painful post surgrey while my nerves in my arm and shoulder regenerated and healed. Dr. French tried many things before offering me surgery. He is a very good man and an excellent doctor who does take on very difficult cases, which some of those cases are risky for a sucessful outcome. We need more physicians like Dr. French.

Dr. French is a shoulder specialist there fore when he checks you out he does'nt mess around with thing he knows can be fix with or with out surgery. You would not go to him unless you have a bad problem. After 1 year wasted going to others in NCW was sent back to my Doc with no solutions and many dollars spent. Dr. french fix my shoulders from vehicle accident. Helped remove my neck pain. Talked Wife into going after bad surgery in Wenatchee to Dr. French. After appointment and complete check out she had surgery and now has alot more use and way less pain. Every one that has surgery signs a peice of paper listing all posibilties of out comes. Nothing works a 100 percent but at least they try their best and everything is up front. Witman County Hospital is the best I have Ever been to as far as Happy friendly staff that treat you as Family. We will miss Kelly Landle Phsyicans Ass. she is as good as they get. DB

Had very successful shoulder surgery, after suffering for more than 20 years and other doctors giving a "live with it" diagnosis. He found a number of problems not previously found, fix them, and recovery was much faster than what I was told was typical for this kind of surgery. No doctor is perfect and complications happen with the very best of surgeons, but I also know that doctors of lesser talent have been attacking him for years, as he is "stealing" their patients (getting a disproporationate share of patients).

my wife and I have both had complicated surgery with him. In both cases he was able to diagnos what had been missed by others for years as to the actual problem.( one a car accident, the other a baseball pitching injury) The results were as expected and as in most cases follow up and rehab is required. For my wife nerve regeneration was painful but that is to be expected, and a minor follow up to purge scar tissue. He is known for his ability to do arthroscopic surgery where others do not have the hand skill and is a nut about sterlization, flooding his OR with water to keep the room sterile. All surgery is not as expected and there are going to be some level of dissatisfied clients. He is an orthropod not a neuroligist.

I personally know many Drs physical therapists that have had complicated surgeries by him and all of them are doing great. My wife has had four surgeries by him all nesasary. her arms were completly numb from the elbow down to the fingertips not including the shoulder reconstructions she had done, I would have to say she is probably one of the more complicated patients medically speaking and he did a really good job.

I got fooled. I know he can fix shouders, it's just if he wants to. I have more pain now & can't pick up much or wash my own hair, BUT OH WELL, huh Dr. French. I can't do hardly anything with my young son, & thats what hurts too. BUT OH WELL! GET OVER IT, I TRUSTED HIM. Now I'll find another orthopedic Dr. Thank You Dr. French. May God Bless You & Keep You Safe, May He Make A BETTER Man Of You. Blessed Hoildays for You & Yours.

As far as I'm concerned Dr. French is a god. He rebuilt my right shoulder in May of '05 and just finished my left shoulder sx=weeks ago. Dr. French and his staff are the best!

Dr. French recently (June 2007) was found negligent in the Superior Court of Whitman County in a case involving bilateral multidirectional instability of the shoulder. This is a matter of public record. There are several other malpractice lawsuits against him in the works.

I was not happy with Dr. Frenchs decision to perfom surgery, and when I found out that he was found negligent for misdiagnosing a shoulder case and performing unnecessary surgery I decided to find another doctor!

Dr French is my savior. Without him, I would have been disabled for life. He was willing to do surgery where noone else was and fixed three tears in my shoulder. Before surgery I could only lift my dominant arm to shoulder height. Now, three months postoperatively, I can raise my arm up over my head. The pain I suffered with for two years is GONE! I have heard that Dr French is controversial but he is willing to take the more difficult cases that noone else will touch. I would not be returning to my job without Dr. French.
