Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

2 total rotator repairs done
My first rotator repair was 5 years ago, where he repaired everything possible, and it was successful, restoring me to full function. My other shoulder surgery was 4 weeks ago, and I'm still in PT and immobilizer, but all is going well. He was even able to reattach tendons that he found retracted up by neck, that didn't show up on the MRI. I knew I had a good surgeon, when multiple staff told me he was who they would want for themselves.

Amazing results!!
Dr. Prosser repaired my completely torn off rotator cuff along with cleaning up arthritis, repairing torn tendons and spurs. I’m 100% restored and so grateful for his talent and care.

I have the other most recent review. I noticed I accidentally wrote "Dr. LaPrade" I meant to say Dr. Prosser. Dr. LaPrade at TCO in MN is the doc who fixed me after Dr. Prosser destroyed my knee. Sorry for the confusion. Dr. Prosser sucks. Dr. LaPrade ROCKS!

Phenomenal. He repaired my completely torn off rotor cuff group, took out the bone spurs, and got me back to hockey in four months. Don't go to him if you're not going to do the Physical Therapy. My fixed shoulder is now better than my non-surgically touched shoulder. This is a great surgeon.

Pathetically arrogant. He did not explain anything to me. I had to have my PCP explain my meniscus tear, with wear on the cartilage. Do not go to Dr. Prosser if you want answers. I think he is more interested in surgery and the money behind it, take your insurance money to someone who cares.

Pissed Off Patient in Madison, WI – Apr 07, 2018
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Prosser?
6-23-16 - Dr. Prosser saw my teenage daughter for shoulder pain. He completely misdiagnosed her, was wrong about previous diagnosis and because of that her injury got worse. He came off as arrogant and was more interested in bragging about his sons future pitching in the majors.

One year ago, on Feb. 25, 2015 I had rotator cuff surgery that was done by Dr. Prosser. I just want to say that I am extremely happy with the results of that surgery. I am 75 years old, a very active person. I still work 40+ hours a week during the summer months at a golf course and am an avid golfer. Five months after my surgery, healing and rehabilitation allowed me to get back golfing. I have no problem with range-of-motion in my shoulder and no pain. Thank you Dr. Prosser !!
