Ben Lavender struggled with shoulder problems for many years, including two unsuccessful surgeries in his early 20s. He turned to Dr. Armin Tehrany for a complex shoulder procedure that prevented the need for more invasive surgery.
“Just four and a half months post-op, I have about 95% of my range of motion back, and my strength has returned,” Ben shares. “It’s taken rigorous physical therapy, but I wouldn’t be here without Dr. Tehrany. I feel amazing.”
Dr. Tehrany notes that Ben’s dedication to fitness and muscle balance over the years played a key role in his rapid recovery. Today, Ben is back to living actively and pain-free, grateful for the skill and care that made his recovery possible.
