Do you have chronic shoulder pain?  It may be arthritis.  Dr. Gregory was featured for a live 30 minute interview on Doctor Radio, SiriusXM channel 110.  He fielded questions from callers nationwide about treatment and prevention of arthritis.  As a shoulder and elbow specialist, he encounters patients with arthritis frequently, and commonly performs anatomic and reverse shoulder replacements to help patients get rid of pain, and get back to their normal function.
