Meet Dr. Robert Cash
Robert Cash, MD, is board-certified in orthopedic surgery. He specializes in General Orthopedics and has extensive experience in treating various shoulder conditions, including shoulder arthritis, shoulder instability, shoulder dislocation, shoulder impingement, frozen shoulder, among others. Dr. Cash believes that developing a rapport with his patients help him understand their frustrations and needs better. And this gives him an accurate picture of the treatment plan that should be developed for each of his patients.
You don't always need surgery to solve your shoulder pain.
Our patients have been happy with my philosophy that there are multiple avenues to treat pain, and it doesn't always include surgery.
I injured my right rotator cuff eleven years earlier. I had learned to live with the fact that I could not throw a ball or lift anything above my shoulder without pain. As I aged, the injury developed arthritis/bone spurs.
I was referred to Dr. Purnell. Dr. Purnell fixed my shoulder...! The day after surgery, I had full function of my shoulder/arm without any pain or any need for pain medication.
Two months later, I broke my right clavicle. My clavicle had shards and was described as a “jig-saw puzzle.” Dr. Purnell returned from his vacation and repaired my Clavicle. A week after surgery, the pain had subsided enough to not require any pain medication.
I found that Dr. Purnell is an amazing doctor and I wish I would have had my rotator cuff fixed years earlier.
