“I was immediately getting better. My physical state was changing like a metamorphosis really. I came out of depression. I started using my shoulder for everyday activities with no pain at all.”

Meet Sal Lucido, a patient who underwent full shoulder replacement surgery. When he came to see Dr. Maury Harwood, an orthopedic surgeon at Good Samaritan Hospital, he was in a lot of pain and couldn’t perform simple movements like buckling his seatbelt. Good Samaritan Hospital helped guide Sal through the surgery process. He now has full function of his shoulder.
