It is 8 weeks post surgery which involved a distal bicep tendon reattachment to the left radius. Although the first 4 to 5 weeks were an expected slow rehab with range of motion and pronation/supination exercises, these last 3 to 4 weeks have shown remarkable progress with essentially full range of motion. This will still take another 4 months or longer for a full and complete return of arm strength. The foregoing is designed to inform patients what to expect and that this type of surgery is worth the time and effort when you have a professional like Dr Leathers to bring you along step by step with his skill, knowledge, care and understanding. You can trust in the process with Dr Leathers to perform the surgery and then monitor your rehabilitation to the end. Thank you, Dr Leathers.

Dr Leathers is a true professional. Listens to concerns and addresses each one before and after the surgery. Spends the needed time you need to get all your answers. If I eventually have to have my other hip replaced, I will definitely have Dr Leathers perform the surgery.

I was nervous about the whole procedure. Dr.Leathers made the whole experience well worth what little pain I did have. The end result has been great to be able to walk with no pain. Dr. Leathers had been very supportive and encouraging. When the time comes I would have him do surgery on my other knee.

Top notch communicator and surgeon. He implanted my right hip 1/22. His dad Michael W. Had replaced my left hip in 2014.
I have severe osteoporosis and my right hip and is fragile. He has done everything possible to make my hoop stable. I’m healing and feeling so much better. I’m looking forward to a complete recovery and returning to my life and job. Many thanks to Dr Michael P. Leathers. Highly recommend him a a great Dr.

Dr. Leathers performed a complete shoulder replacement in February on me. This was my 8th shoulder surgery on this arm, (Dr. Leathers 1st on me). There were numerous issues including very limited movement, severe arthritis, pain in all movements, and he took it on. He was very honest on what to expect, and very thorough in the pluses and minuses. I am beyond words on how this has changed my life. No more pain, I am almost at full range in every direction (still in therapy). I am grateful to have had him perform my surgery. Excellent surgeon. Thank you Dr. Leathers.

Dr. Leathers is very pleasant and kept me informed on what the procedure was, why I needed it and how they would proceed. The follow-up care kept me moving. Thank you for giving me a new knee.

I was worried at first going into Dr Leathers office not knowing how well this whole experience and situation was going to be, but he was super helpful/friendly and made the whole recovery process as easy as it could possibly be. Great guy with a noticeable drive and want for his patients to recovery and get back to full health.

Front desk staff was great. Dr Leathers answered any questions we asked and surgery to put a screw in a broken medial epicondyal went great.

I had a great experience with Dr. Leathers. Even though I had a slight tear in my ankle, Dr. Leathers wanted to treat my injury as a bad sprain. I was happy to try to recover from my injury without surgery. I would recommend Dr. Leathers to anyone.

I was very pleased through the whole process, from the first time I meet Dr. Leathers, through the surgery and finally now that it has been about 5 months after the surgery. He took plenty of time explaining my options when I first meet with him. He explained everything in terms that were easy to understand. He never once pushed me to have surgery. He left that decision totally up to me. When I decided to have the surgery he listened to me about when I wanted it done. The surgery went well and he and his team of doctors explained everything that was to happen. After the surgery he came in and explained again what had been done and gave me the parameters about what I could do and not do to help with the healing process. I saw him a few times after the surgery to pull out the stitches and then on a regular basis to see how I was doing.
All in all the surgery was a success and one that I would do again. I am very happy and it gave me a lot more motion in my shoulder and arm with no pain.
Thank you Dr. Leathers for a fine job.
