Having had several major joint surgeries, when I had an issue after moving to Myrtle Beach, I did some research on local orthopedic surgeons. Upon review of a few specialists, I chose Dr. Mikol, and I wasn't disappointed. Dr. Mikol was very thorough and treated me like I was an athlete, not a senior woman. My recovery was 100 percent and other than the scar (which isn't very noticeable) my shoulder replacement was a total success and I'm back to all my physical activities and the gym. More importantly, I can pick up and play with my three new great-grandchildren. I'm hoping not to have to see him again, but, if needed he would be my only call!! I might add, his office staff and assistants and surgical staff were exceptional as well.
