Dr, Izquierdo did a shoulder replacement In July 2018. He is friendly and takes his time with you answering all questions. I looked into several other dr. who do shoulder replacement and they all said I would have to be in a sling and NOT drive a car for 6 weeks. Dr. Izquierdo Told me I would be able to do that in 3 weeks. He was right!!!! And I had very little pain after the surgery. I was very pleased with him.
