Orthopedic Surgeon

Dr Conway (sp) is the best from what I hear.

Mike Adams in McKinney
Bruce Douthit in McKinney/Frisco

Both are awesome. Mike did a shoulder surgery on my about 10 years ago with great results. You couldn't go wrong with either one.

Ditto on Dr. Conway, he is hard to get into but worth it. I will PM you his phone number.

Dr. Conway or Keith Meister are both excellant.

DR.Conway is excellent However, his partner Dr. Keith Watson is the shoulder specialist...(The Best) Conway is elbow's and dabbles in other extremities. It is a longer wait to get in but well worth it...

John G is right, I work in Surgery, Dr. Conway
is the best in elbows, Dr. Keith Watson is
the best for Shoulders

and dabbles in other extremities.

...that struck me as funny...

My son's doctor is Dr. Milne of the FW Sports/Bone Clinic.
I knew I would be happy with him during the first appointment when he asked specific questions about how he felt during stages of pitching and based on what my son said, he responded, so ball is staying up or dropping out or whatever he said (I'm just the mom, don't remember the details.....)It was obvious he had worked with pitchers.
He was on our insurance which was a bonus, and realistically for us, a necessity.
My son is still in recovery but we have both been pleased so far.

Dr. Keith Mesiter is also very good. He is the doctor for the Texas Rangers and is located in Arlington at the Medical Center of Arlington. his phone number is (817) 419-0303.

Thanks for all the responses. Does anybody know anything about Dr. Cooper he works out of the Carrell Clinic. He does the Stars and the Cowboys. As mentioned above "insurance" and Dr. Cooper is on my Insurance. Also, what is an average of recovery time. I know every injury is different and people responed differently, just trying to get a feel.

Dr Conway or Fort WOrth Bone and Joint, Dr Roten in Fort Worth or Dr Richardson In fort worth are all Solid Dr

You need to specify what type of injury you have. This Dr. Cooper sounds like a knee guy. Check on his shoulder experience!!!! I have had 6 surguries on my shoulders. I like you, was "insuranced" into bad decisions and refered to very prominent sports orthopedic who specialized in football "Knee's" injuries. His inexperience on shoulders caused me to endure 3 additional surguries. My shoulder was eventually repaired perfectly by Dr.Watson. The Irony of my story is i originally went to Dr, Watson for a second opinion, I got frustrated with the fact that he was hard to get to see and made a bad choice.

Dr Mycoski and Dr Wolf Arlington Orthopedic are also very good -

My son had a elbow repaired by Dr. Conway. Best move we ever made. The elbow works better than ever.

Dr. Cooper did my son's knee surgery. He's one of the best. If shoulder is what you need, then you should try one of his associates. I'd hurry up and get in before hockey season starts. When my son had his knee surgery, the Stars were in the playoffs, and Dr. Cooper traveled with the team, so we kept getting bumped. Little did he know that he was putting off a future major leaguer!! :-)

Dr. Cooper's web-site is very informative. Check it out at www.dancoopermd.com. it shows illustrations on the knee and shoulder.
