Dr. Steven Hattrup, MD

Now 15 months after R total shoulder replacement, I am very pleased. His evaluation, recommendations, and surgical care were the best, more than I hoped for. As regards outcome, I am pain free(even at 12 weeks!), and able to enjoy golf again. Range of motion is normal, I can sleep without nightime pain. Oh, and I am a retired MD. Dr. Hattrup is the man to see for shoulder problems!

I sought two other opinions for a rotator cuff tendon repair before consulting with Dr. Steven Hattrup. I liked him from the beginning, as he discussed the MRI and the surgery. No pressure from him to conduct the procedure, as after one month with limitations plaguing me in sports, I returned to discuss and schedule surgery. The Mayo Clinic was able to schedule surgery in three days. After three months, I have never looked back, virtually pain-free, as I continue to work PT on my own, and look forward to returning to the tennis courts in three months. I highly recommend Dr. Hattrup.

I had shoulder surgery done with Dr. Hattrup several years ago and it went so well I never realized how good he really was. I took it for granted that the pain would go away quickly and I would be 100% in a few months. It was a very pleasant experience compared to the stories I have heard since my surgery. Now I'm experiencing major damage in the other shoulder and will have Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement done at the Mayo with Dr. Hattrup, the best surgeon in the field if not the world!

He performed rotator cuff surgery on me less than a week ago. He listened to my concerns, gave his opinion and followed through. He and his staff at Mayo were excellent. Very caring and professional. Even right before the surgery, my insurance hadn't been approved yet but the wonderful woman at Mayo kept at it until she got the approval. Everyone who treated me did so with respect. Thank you so much!
