Dr Faryniarz performed arthroscopic surgery on my left shoulder Oct 7, 2014. I was in therapy by Friday of that week with full range of motion without severe pain the next week. I expect to be 100% soon as I was with my right shoulder that she operated on 6 years ago. I retired and moved back home to Texas a few years ago and had to make a trip to San Jose for the procedure....And, it was well worth it. An orthopedic doctor in Texas had told me he would do a shoulder replacement for me in a few years and just do the best I could until then. I don't expect to ever have to do a shoulder replacement from what Dr Faryniarz has told me. Dr Faryniarz is well educated: Engineer and then a doctor. MIT-Harvard Medical. Internship at Shoulder Institute in Manhattan, NY where she was awarded a Fellowship status. She is considered a "Shoulder" specialist. And, I think I'm proof that she is. Thank you Dr Faryniarz for your expertise and my good health, now. I recommend you seeing this doctor if you need a second opinion or in need of shoulder surgery. For 2nd opinion, you will need MRI and X-Ray within past 12 months before your office visit. For a procedure you will also need a family doctors release and cardiogram. Good Luck......and go with the best!!! David R

I think the proof is in the pudding. After many years of athletics and body building (reached the ripe old age of 50 in 2013), I have had my share of injuries and aches and pains. Considering I am a gym rat and use lifting as my stress relief, you can imagine how dismayed I was to learn that a large bone spur had severed my rotator cuff. I thought I was done for. But, not so fast. After some research and diligence I found Dr. Faryniarz and boy how lucky can I get. Dr. Faryniarz is the BEST. She took the time to accurately diagnose my injury, chart out the options and put the priority on getting me back to my passion. I had the left side repaired in Nov 2011 and returned to the gym the following February. All was very well with the left side and low and behold I needed the same exact repair on the right side. Had the surgery on the right side in Nov 2013 and had the same excellent results. After 3 months I was back to the gym, after 6 months was fully functional and regaining strength and after 9 months I am back to nearly full strength. Minimal pain, excellent flexibility and excellent strength. No complications, issues, nothing. Everything exactly as the Dr. said it would be. (Physicial Therapy is a MUST). If you are considering surgery, I have two suggestions: 1) DON"T WAIT, IT WONT GET BETTER, 2) GO TO DOCTOR FARYNIARZ. Thanks Doc, you are the best!

Great Doctor! fixed a botched knee job by my old doctor and did a fantastic job. She didn't take my particular insurance so I paid out of pocket and it was worth every penny. Definitely use the Game Ready Ice Machine if it's offered to you.

After seeing two doctors who described my condition as "bicep tendonitis," and without any kind of scan, administered a steroid injection, I called Dr. Jeter's office, to see if they could recommend someone, since his expertise was with legs & knees. They informed me that they had a new doctor who specialized in arms & shoulders. When I saw Dr. Faryniarz, she looked at my arm and said, "You don't have bicep tendonitis. You have a torn bicep, a torn labrum, and possibly a torn rotator cuff. But, before we do anything, you need X-rays and an MRI." She was absolutely correct and soon she performed surgery on a torn bicep, a torn labrum, a partially torn rotator cuff and a bone spur. It has been five years since my operation and you'd never know I had surgery. The shoulder looks great and is better than brand new! My husband and I think Dr. Faryniarz is a miracle worker.

Dr. Faryniarz was wonderful in diagnosing my problem with my shoulder immediately. We quickly got an MRI and x-rays and off to surgery where the problem was fixed and I am 100 percent. I had a bicep Tenotomy. Dr Faryniarz also fixed my knee problems, torn meniscus. She has done my knees and my shoulder and loved having her as my Dr. The staff was wonderful, always friendly never had to wait more than 10 minuets. Hopefully I will never have to go back for surgery but If I do it will definitely be with Dr. Farynairz. She came highly recommended by a friend and I am grateful that I listened to my friend.
