I broke my left shoulder mid January this year at June during the “big dump”. Last run of the day of course. Broke humeral head off shaft. Dr. Gilmer fixed me up that night. Great reduction and placement of plate and screws. Made the ride back to LA next day a lot easier knowing I had great hands taking care of my fracture. Living in physical therapy land now slowly getting back to full range of motion. My follow up, post op surgeon here in Los Angeles even said when first saw X-ray that Dr. Gilmer did an excellent job. Thank you Dr. Gilmer for making an otherwise bad situation the best it could be. Also, the staff at Mammoth Hospital were amazing. Lucky to have you and the rest of your colleagues and staff to take great care of hacks like me!
