Dr. Bare was careless and reckless when he pushed me into work hardening too quickly after my 2nd right shoulder surgery within 2 months of each other. Prior to my 2nd surgery for a rotator cuff repair, he stated several times that we would take PT and work hardening much slower than the first time around, giving my shoulder a chance to heal. August 12, 2012 is the date work hardening changed my life from being healthy and very active, to being in constant pain, having to undergo countless procedures each year to help cope with the pain and discomfort. I've been taking opioids and numerous other prescriptions for the past 10 years. The damage to my spine has left me unable to lift more than 8 pounds, unable to ride my bike, play soccer, golf, tennis, workout, jogging, bending over to brush my teeth is painful. I can't stand or sit for extended periods of time, I can't lift my grandchildren. This all could have been avoided if Dr. Bare heeded his own advice to me, but yet he instructed the work hardening therapist to push me and test the limits of my right shoulder that day. So here I am 10 years later still suffering with the consequences of Dr. Bares poor decision. My family has suffered the economic impact of my permanent injuries, as I was not able to go back to work and perform the important duties of my job due to Dr. Bares carelessness.

Dr. Bare has done three surgeries on me. I honestly think of him as the god of orthopedic doctors. He is reliably patient and effective. He fixed my shoulder after my first surgery failed. I trust him completely.

Dr Bare is the best! He conducted hand surgery over a decade ago and now I have full use of both hands. Since then I have seen him twice for other situations and he has been very professional, personable and knowledgeable. I will be his patient concerning any conditions that he treats for life!!

"Unfortunately I’ve had to go 3 different orthopedic doctors in the last 2 years. Hands down this place is by far the best. Dr. Bare and the rest of the team are extremely nice and very professional.

Although my leg has terrible pain everyday I was relieved to hear that it is still a healthy ..."

I visited Dr. Bare for the first time virtually in January following up on a winter health scare. His office staff is extremely courteous, communicative and professional. Dr. Bare is very attentive, intelligent and tactful in his work. He’s the exact kind of doctor you want in an emergency of the gut. He will take you seriously and you will get the right treatment. Highest possible recommendation from me.

Shoulder specialist, Mr. Bare is a good and dependable doctor. Little costly but service was good, one of my friends underwent a clavicle surgery from there.
