Shourlder Replace,ent

I had a total shoulder replacement. Dr. Chopp is an expert surgeon. He is kind and professional. I have had a very good experience and excellent recovery. I highly recommend him. His staff is wonderful. I was treated respectfully by all staff that I interacted with. Their customer service is top notch. I will eventually need to have my other shoulder replaced and will go back to Dr. Chopp!

Dr. Chopp and Kelly Vincent PA-C were fantastic! I had a total shoulder replacement and from start to finish it was a GREAT experience. Not only the office staff were great, the Hospital was top notch as were all the staff there too. I traveled from Northern Oregon , over 4 hours away but would travel any distance to get the care of received from them. EXCELLENT!!!!!

Highly recommended

Dr Chopp did a rotator cuff surgery in November, 2018 on my right shoulder. He is easy to talk to, a good listener, and a master surgeon! I'm still recovering, but I am confident he did the repairs perfectly. I can't say enough good things about Kelly Vincent, PA who works with him. The rest of the office staff are friendly & welcoming. I was happy to have the procedure done at Treasure Valley Hospital. Such good care, and a much smaller setting than the big hospitals in Boise.

Shoulder surgery and care

I had terrible pain from a shoulder injury. I sought care from Dr. Chopp. He advised surgery and before the surgery informed me on the procedure and recovery care. I felt confident and trustworthy in his ability as a doctor to help me with my shoulder problem. Dr. Chopp completed the surgery and in less than three months I had use of my arm and no pain. Dr. Chopp is an excellent Orthoepedic doctor and his office staff is friendly, cheerful and helpful. Thank you so much.
