I had rotator surgery in both shoulders in the early 90s from on the job. Last few months the right side felt like I tore it again. Never met Dr Michilin till today. Good attitude. Knows his stuff and took xrays and put my arms through some physical tests and explained what needed to be done. I know good doctors when I see them and Dr Michelin is up there. We both agreed on what procedure was best for me and set a date. At my age, it's a replacement. Today's technology has improved so much, im actually looking forward to this.

Dr. Michelin went above and beyond for me when no other doctor would operate on me due to me being a salvaged product after already having 2 prior surgeries already done on that arm. He did 3 more surgeries on my shoulder over a span of 3 years and I am finally healed! I have been in so much pain and dealt with massive depression iver the past 13 years and now its all gone all thanks to Dr. Michelin! This man truly saved my life and I cant thank him and recommend him enough.

I’ve been under Dr. Michelins care for almost a year now. I truly appreciated that he was very conservative in my care and did not just jump straight to surgery. When it came to the decision that surgery was my best option after we tried other options he was very thorough in explaining the procedure and recovery. I have full use and range of my soldier once again and I couldn’t have gotten here without Dr Michelins excellent care.

Had my 3-month follow-up visit today with Dr. Michelin. I gave him 5 stars. He was professional, personal and knowledgeable. I trust his judgement and find him extremely competent. He initially diagnosed my unique shoulder pain when many other doctors couldn't. Then he performed the complicated major surgical procedure in one operation when it normally would require two. I highly recommend him if you need your shoulder diagnosed and repaired.

Great follow up! I’m so glad he explained the difference between my progress due to rotator cuff injury and my husband’s which were due to arthritis.

The staff and doctor were great. I just don’t know why my medical history isn’t shared among my service providers. Every time I go to a referral I have fill out eight pages of stupid stuff. These guys and gals are great. I can’t dump on them for things out of their control.

Dr Michelin suggested stem cell instead of surgery which I was happy about that
Stem cells put me into a lot of pain for a month so he suggested a steroid injection which took me completely out of pain and now one month out I feel it’s better then before the stem cell injection and no surgery Dr Michelin called twice during this time to see how I felt and how we can get me out pain . I was impressed , doctors rarely call their patient. I do recommend him .

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Michelin. He performed my reverse shoulder replacement revision, and the experience has been life-changing. From the very first appointment, he was kind, compassionate, and extremely thorough in explaining my options and the procedure. Revision surgery can be complicated, but Dr. Michelin’s skill and expertise gave me complete confidence.
The surgery went smoothly, my pain has been dramatically reduced, and my mobility continues to improve every day. What really stands out is not only his surgical talent but also the way he listens and truly cares about his patients. His entire team is professional, supportive, and made the whole process so much easier.
I am grateful beyond words — Dr. Michelin is truly the best doctor ever, and I would recommend him to anyone needing shoulder surgery, especially complex revision work.

Dr. Michelin quickly saw me in his office after I fell on my elbow and broke my left arm.
He squeezed me in his busy schedule the SAME WEEK to perform the surgery!!!!
What an outstanding job indeed requiring a metal brace and 11 pins!!!
My friends are absolutely amazed how great it looks!👍 I highly recommend Dr. Michelin!

Dr. Michelin has been wonderful. He takes the time to explain the procedure and the outcome and the expectations of the outcome along with making sure that everything is going well. He has even reached out when I had a concern and that’s very impressive to me. I’m still in the recovery mode and have had a few setbacks caused by me so hopefully the outcome will remain as positive as discussed. dr. Michelin maintains a good working relationship with the physical therapy company that I’m going to and everyone at that facility speaks very highly of him. He takes on the cases that are difficult that most doctors will not address.

Shoulder replacement surgery. 5 days after surgery I did not need pain medication, but still sleeping in recliner. 3 months later I could touch hands over my head. Followed doctors recommendations all the way and today have little to no pain doing rehabilitation. Dr. Michelin is great! Cannot say enough.

It has been EXACTLY ONE YEAR TODAY SINCE I HAD MY SURGERY done by Doc MICHELIN on my left shoulder! I am one of the BIGGEST PROCRASTINATORS! I waited over 15 years to have the surgery and even took forever to write this review!
But I’m am so very THANKFUL for Doc Michelin! He was very welcoming, kind, knowledgeable and made the process I had been putting off for years and years due to fear very comfortable. The healing process has been amazing!
My shoulder used to dislocate for the craziest things, putting on a jacket, sometimes even just sneezing! Since my surgery done by Doc Michelin, a year later my left shoulder has not once dislocated out of place for ANY REASON AT ALL! I am so very thankful for him and his great work! If anyone is like I was and dragging on having this surgery for years and years don’t wait any longer! This surgery done by Doc Michelin has been life changing and I would definitely recommend! 🩵

I injured my tricep tendon and had to be out of work and needed surgery to return. Dr. Michelin and his staff were amazing throughout my entire process. Not only did he repair my injury but he made sure not to rush me back. As a first responder it was in my nature to want to go back asap. Dr. Michelin made sure that when I returned I’d have minimal risk of re injury and did not rush the process. Anyone who is a first responder and sustains an injury in which Dr. Michelin specializes in repairing, I’d highly recommend him!
Once again Dr. Michelin I want to say publicly, thank you to you and your amazing staff.

If you have shoulder pain, run, don't walk to Dr. Richard Michelin. He rocks shoulder pain right out of the park! He is a great surgeon! He cares. He listens. He goes the extra mile for your healthy return to an active lifestyle. He performed my right shoulder replacement and only 4 months post surgery, I feel great! My shoulder is pain free and I'm back to using it as usual. The staff is helpful and friendly. His convenient office location at Alta & Hualapai has plenty of handicapped parking. Why wait in pain any longer? Do what I did. See Dr. Richard Michelin.

I had a reverse shoulder replacement five years ago on my right side and I had a lot of problems and pain. (This was after two rotator cuff surgeries and a torn subscapularis repair) I went to physical therapy for almost two years and I still had a lot of issues with inability to move it and pain. Then in March of 2024 the pain became worse and I had a hard time moving my arm. I made an appointment with Dr Michelin and thank god I did. After xrays it showed that my implant was broken and loose and due to a technical error it wasn’t installed properly. I would need to have a revision surgery. Dr Michelin spent more time with my wife and I than my previous Dr did with all four previous surgeries. Dr Michelin explained all possible treatments options that were available. After Dr Michelin replaced the implant I have had regained most of my movement I had prior to the initial replacement five years ago. Dr Michelin is a outstanding, competent, caring, and compassionate surgeon and person! I thank God I found him and I strongly recommend Dr Michelin to anyone who has shoulder problems to consider him. You won’t be disappointed with the high quality of care he provides. Thank you Dr Michelin! You have given me my quality of life back!

Dr. Michelin is wonderful. He operated on my stepfather’s shoulder. We didn’t think he would get much rotation back, but the surgery worked with physical therapy. His plan of attack for recovery helped a lot. Highly recommend.

I fell changing my air filters and fractured both bones in my Right Lower Leg. I’m a former Level 1 Trauma Nurse from the University of Michigan and knew right away the leg was broken in a few places. By luck, MD Michelin was on call that day when I went to the hospital and reconstructed me with two necessary surgeries. It’s been twelve weeks and I will be walking again soon. His skill and hard work with therapy provided the outcome. I can’t thank him enough for helping me get back to my beautiful life. Thank you MD Michelin, you make a difference.

On October 25th I suffered a right radial head fracture. I know, I know, say it in English right! Well I fractured my right elbow. This is my dominant arm. Fracturing this part of my arm restricted me from being able to move or rotate my hand. If you would’ve asked me for a high five or a down low, it just was not possible. My arm was locked in an L position. I was eventually referred to Dr. Michelin. He was so pleasant to meet with. He explained all of the in’s and out’s of what surgery could or would bring for me. He provided me all my options and I chose surgery of course. Surgery went so smooth, no mishaps before or after. I have now completed 8 weeks of therapy and needless to say, I am soooooooo happy with my progress. I have great extension, my hand moves like before and I can now sleep with no pain. My scar from surgery, well I don’t notice it until someone ask about it. Although I have more work to do in therapy, if this is as far as my arm will go, I am still grateful. A thank you will never be enough to express my gratitude to Dr. Michelin. His kind and gentle bedside manner just adds to his great work. Oh and I’m definitely using my right hand while typing this and I was not able to do this before my surgery. Thank you again Dr. Michelin.
