In other cases, persistent shoulder pain with movement, especially when lifting your arm or reaching overhead, may be linked to rotator cuff tendinitis, a common source of irritation in the shoulder. Or injuries such as a shoulder labral tear, which can affect stability and cause catching or clicking sensations.

EXCELLENT Based on 166 reviews Posted on Kevin and Harjeet JandaJune 20, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Pamela was amazing. She was so thorough and knowledgeable, and when my son got injured, she acted quickly instead of taking a wait-and-see approach. Her team got us in for an X-ray the very same day, which I really appreciated. What stood out most was that she took the time to really understand what happened and what was causing the problem. I never felt rushed during our appointment. She listened, answered all of our questions, and made us feel like we were her only patients. That level of attention and care is hard to find these days. Everyone in the office was professional, kind, and efficient. As soon as the imaging results were ready, Dr. Pamela personally called to go over everything, explain the plan, and discuss the next steps. I would recommend her to anyone looking for orthopedic care. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, genuinely kind, and you can tell she truly cares about her patients and their families. She truly cares from the heart, and it shows.Posted on Sherri DoddMay 20, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So thankful to have been recommended to Dr. Mehta a few years ago! My first experience with her was the meniscus surgery, which she performed perfectly, and I was back to my former fitness level in a short time! What she has helped me with even more are my low back problems, including three bulging discs and stenosis. I’ve had three stem cell injections over the years. (In the middle of these, I tried a different procedure with a different provider, and it was awful!) Had my most recent injection yesterday and the relief was immediate! My son has also been to her for a sports shoulder injury and my husband with his knee. We really appreciate Dr. Mehta, her expertise, and the helpful people she has chosen for her office!Posted on Andrew FergusonApril 24, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dear Dr. Mehta, Thank you for your wonderful care. Age and injuries often times create a long road back, requiring more patience than I would like. Since your PRP injection — (Platelet-Rich Plasma) I have road a mountain bike, hard. I’ve ridden my peloton, hard. I’ve surfed big waves. I’ve hiked uphill with a weight vest, far. I’ve done yoga, but I had not run… Titled: I ran today. I ran today. Not far, But I ran. Not fast, But I ran. Walk/run intervals, but I ran. Andddddd Pain free 5 minute ice plunge after No Advil needed Cautiously optimistic with spring in my step.
