Dr. Megan Shanks is a great Doctor and wonderful person. She took the time to research, or she already knew, that with my FSHD condition, and needing a sholder replacement, that a rear cuff, if possible, would have a much greater chance for success then a anatomic replacement would, because my deltoid muscle is holding up so much better the the scapula and other surrounding muscles. And she has a great team that always responded to me quickly. Endeavor should be proud to have all of them.
