Shoulder Arthroscopy and Biceps Tenodesis
“Dear Dr. DiPaola, Thank you so much for taking time with me and actually listening. Even though I am an “older” adult you understood that I am very active and want to stay that way.
Thank you for not dismissing my concerns. I am very happy with how everything turned out. I appreciate that you gave me options and that ultimately the treatments were my choice. I am now doing very well after surgery and almost back to doing push-ups. Your expertise is truly appreciated.”

“For years I took care of my husband, and in lifting him I thought I had pulled a muscle. I was in a great deal of pain and I kept putting it off. After x-rays and a CAT scan Dr. Matthew DiPaola said I needed shoulder surgery. On November 5, he put a whole new shoulder in my body.
Since then I have had several therapy sessions and now I am getting along just fine. I can raise my arm over my shoulder with no pain, and I am getting all of the function back. It has been five months since my surgery and I am doing just great and am pain free. ”

“Grateful to Be Back on the Course — and Better Than Ever
I never imagined I’d tear my rotator cuff trying out a new driver at Golf Galaxy — but that’s exactly what happened. One sudden swing, and I felt a sharp, searing pain in my left arm. I couldn’t lift my arm above my belt. After days of icing with no relief, I called Dr. Matthew J. DiPaola’s office.
Dr. DiPaola saw me promptly and ordered an MRI, which confirmed a rotator cuff tear. We scheduled surgery, and I’ll be honest — I thought my golfing days were over. But Dr. DiPaola reassured me: he’d helped many patients return to the game. I was skeptical.
He performed the surgery, and I began seven months of physical therapy. Progress was slow but steady. Each month, I regained more strength and mobility. I took a full year off from golf, then cautiously returned — and to my surprise, I kept improving.
Today, I have nearly full use of my shoulder. I’m hitting fairways 90% of the time and recently finished second in my golf league. At 70 years young, I’m playing the best golf of my life.
Thanks to Dr. DiPaola and the team at UBMD Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine in Depew, NY, I’m not just back — I’m thriving.”- A.T.

“It’s not often in my lifetime that such satisfaction was delivered by you and your team in addition to the hospital staff during my short staff for shoulder surgery… I rate you and your team at the top.”

“Before I had replacement of my shoulder, I had trouble brushing my hair and putting it in a ponytail.
I could hardly reach for things. After surgery now I can do my hair no problem and reaching is better. Thank You.”
