Dr. Brett Wolters, MD

I was recommended by a close friend of mine after finding out that I tore my labrum. I got in to the clinic in less than 2 weeks and had my surgery scheduled in less than a month. When in clinic, he sat me down and went over my MRI with really great depth. Super concise. Surgery went great. My healing was super fast. He ended up finding that my rotator cuff was torn mid surgery and fixed it up. He went and talked to my parents post op while I was waking up. My shoulder should have taken 8 months to a year and I was back at full speed in 6 months or less! I would 100% recommend!

First of all, Dr. Wolters staff is friendly, efficient, and effective. Dr. Wolters gave me excellent service and always explained everything fully and completely. I can’t imagine having the experiences of the other reviewers who only gave two or one star. Dr Wolters always asked if I had further questions or didn’t understand something. My experience was A+and I plan to go back to Dr. Wolters when I have my other knee done.

My visit to see Dr. Wolters was a total waste of time and money. I sat in the waiting room for an hour and a half waiting to be called back. Once I was called back it felt like their biggest concern was to rush through my appointment to get on to the next patient. No one seemed interested in answering my questions. I was told The nurse would call me with information on an MRI they would be scheduling me for before my surgery, by the following week had had never heard form anyone so I called to ask about it and to ask about some details on my surgery. The only person I was ever able to talk to was the receptionist who told me she would relay my questions to the nurse and have her call me back. I never received a call back and never had any of my questions answered. I finally decided to cancel my surgery and find another Doctor.

Dr. Wolters repaired my rotator cuff. He gave me all the facts about this type of surgery including how painful & slow the healing process would be. He did not candy coat it. He stated the facts of how important It was to follow instructions in order for me to heal to 100% usage. Had surgery first of February and have healed & strengthen to 98% usage in 4.5 months. He Stated I should be at 100% with in a year. Dr. Wolters along with his Springfield Clinic team were excellent. I strongly recommend him.

Visit was rushed. He did not provide a potential treatment plan. He said his office would call me with more information, but this did not happen until I called and left a message. I changed surgeons.

I have been seeing Dr Wolters for over a year & after a lot inconsistent & unsure answers about the state of my knee/ACL, I pushed for some sort of surgery due to a dislocation & extreme pain. He changed the type of surgery right before surgery. Now my knee dislocates regularly leaving me homebound. He now thinks an ACL recon might help (my 2nd one) but said it won't last more than 5 years, then we can do a replacement!?!? I'm 40 yo, I want to live my life Brother-in-law also had bad surgery
