For Dr. Joseph Gomez, being a patient at Wyoming County Community Health System was an excellent experience.

“I injured my left shoulder lifting dumbbells,” explains Dr. Gomez, a board-certified cardiologist at Wyoming County Community Health System. “The pain was so bad, I couldn’t sleep. Physical therapy didn’t help, so I had an MRI that showed multiple tears in my rotator cuff that required surgery. I dreaded surgery, but had to do something.”

Dr. Gomez turned to a colleague at the hospital, Dr. David Privitera, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon who specializes in sports medicine. “I know Dr. Privitera both personally and professionally,” says Dr. Gomez. “I felt very comfortable choosing him as my surgeon.”

Dr. Gomez was extremely impressed with the quality of care he received at WCCHS and amazed at his low pain level after surgery. “My quality of life improved dramatically. I am able to sleep again and do everyday activities without pain. I wholeheartedly recommend WCCHS for orthopedic care!”
