Patient stories

I am a very complicated patient that came to him after 4 previous surgeries on my left shoulder. He nailed my diagnosis the very first time he met me and made me feel very comfortable putting my health care in his hands. He ultimately repaired both my left and right shoulder. My right shoulder is do...

Dr Karim Meijer is as professional as they come and personable. As a professional athlete my body is my most important asset and he understands that intricately. He’s able to instill confidence in the procedure which allows you to take that into the rehab process!

I had calcifiic tendonitis in my rotator cuff. I had been to three specialists on the Northshore, and all three said that I either get surgery to remove the calcium deposits or I just have to live with the pain. I found Dr. Meijer online, and it turns out he is the only one in the New Orleans area t...

Dr miser explained everything very clearly before and after my surgery which was a success. If you need to be seen for a shoulder I highly recommend him and his team.

I had nagging pain from a meniscus tear. Dr Meijer did a scope and “clean up” of the meniscus. My experience was unbelievable and exceeded all my expectations. The staff in the surgical area was the greatest. Everyone was super sweet, knowledgeable, and explained everything to me and my sp...

"I spent the entire summer of 2019 with right shoulder pain and weakness. My bicep tendon became severed in September and an appointment was made with Dr. Meijer. After an MRI on my rotator cuff was performed, surgery was scheduled as soon as possible in early October. I am an active middle aged ma...

"Loved Dr Meijer from the 1st meeting - very enthusiastic & serious about his work. Great at explaining my injury, anatomy, how to repair what to expect, etc... From the get go, you can tell this Dude really knows his stuff! Surgery went great - he did extra work to be sure rotator cuff was repaire...
