    Together we prioritized my treatment plan. I appreciate his expertise and willingness to identify the problems with my shoulder and develop a plan moving from least invasive to surgery if and when indicated. He recommended an injection which I received within the hour and is providing relief. I cannot imagine better care or treatment that by Dr Ugolini and his team.
