Had no nonsense approach to my shoulder issues
He listened to my symptoms, suggested an MRI to find out exactly why all the pain. Showed me why I would need surgery, and completed surgery in a timely fashion. My outcome was terrific.

Shoulder Surgery Review
Had a dislocated shoulder that led to a torn labarum. Dr Bauwens helped diagnose and plan potential paths on recovery. Ended up going the surgical route and he did a fantastic job. Currently 7 months out and experience minimal differences compared to pre-surgery.
