I would stay away from this Doc for shoulder problems. This provider does not seem to really check your file or history and doesn't check everything out as other Providers do. He doesn't do the physical tests and measurements like other surgeons do. Information if very confusing and always changing. Its as if he doesn't take the time to look at your test results and really sum up what is wrong. I was having issues after surgery and he did an x-ray. I asked him why I still had a bone spur that was in the original MRI and why didn’t he fix. He acted like this was a new MRI and told me that he would have to go back in and do a full cuff repair and not the partial that he did along with other things. I messaged him and asked why he did not do this in the surgery per he had that MRI to work off from before surgery? He called me back and said “My bad” thought it was a new MRI. So he sent me for another MRI and then denied there were any issues even though it was clear that there was from the report. He tried to tell me everything would be alright and that I just needed to be more positive and push harder in physical therapy as it could take up to a year to feel any relief. He told me I needed to learn to live with the pain. The pain was worse then before surgery. I finally went an got opinions from two other specialist and both agreed that he missed some work and that another surgery is required to fix things and that I would not get better on my own. So I wasted 6 months of time and I am in much worse shape then when I started with Dr. Bidner. I just pray that the Surgeon will be able to repair his mess and fix things properly. I should have been back to work by now and am falling deeper in debt as you can’t get a job when you are going to PT appts 2x weekly and multiple doc appts nor can sleep well at night per pain and discomfort. I feel that Dr. Bidner just put me through a slow torture and diminished my quality of life. My next surgery will be in 10 days.

He was only interested in what easy money he could get out of workers Comp. I had two blown disc and torn rotor cuff; he tried to send me back to work with no medical intervention. He cost me six months of medical benefits, medicine, and six months of pain. He told me "I know something is wrong with you just go back to work; the soreness will go away". I could not lift my leg, I drove a commercial bus for a living, that would have been real safe. He should have to pay me personally for the six months I went with out my benefit check, I lived in excruciating pain and had no one to help me because of his medical greed.
