Sarah Dotson's Story

Comments: I was about ready to give up with my shoulder issues. After 5 years, and two surgeries that did not help, my doctor referred me to Vanderbilt. From the first appointment with Dr. LeClere, he was compassionate and understanding. He listened to me and never made me feel like I was an inconvenience or burden. He responded quickly to my messages and ordered the needed tests to see if he was correct about the suprascapular nerve issue that was affecting my shoulder and bicep. He personally called me about the results and scheduled surgery. I felt heard and validated from this encounter with Dr. LeClere and all of the staff at Vanderbilt. He is truly amazing with all of his help. Now, two months after surgery, I have most of the movement back in my arm, it no longer has chronic pain and I am working to rebuild my strength. I am truly happy and blessed to have been seen by Dr. LeClere!
