The Kennedy Center has gained a stellar reputation for hip and knee replacements, but in recent years, they’ve also become a premier center for shoulder repair and reconstruction.
As people age, their shoulders often begin to hurt; the rotator cuff may tear; arthritis can develop; and years of accumulated activity start to take their toll.
If it hurts to lift your arms overhead, sleep on your shoulder, wash your hair or reach into your back pocket, then it might be time to see one of our outstanding surgeons at the Kennedy Shoulder Center.
Dr. Davis Tsai, the center’s physician, is an orthopedic and sports medicine board-certified surgeon.
They will listen to your concerns and then develop an appropriate treatment option specifically for you. We take pride in our progressive approach to shoulder pain, in our excellent surgical results and the continued faith and loyalty of our patients.

Arthroscopic surgery—a less invasive procedure for shoulders, upper extremities and knees
Our board certified orthopedic and sports medicine trained surgeon—Dr. Davis Tsai—specializes in arthroscopic medicine and minimally invasive surgery. Arthroscopic surgery is an important option for patients. It is less invasive than traditional open surgery—it’s normally performed through two small incisions, which means that there’s less trauma to the body so patients typically heal faster and with less pain.
During arthroscopic surgery, the surgeon makes a very small incision through which a camera can be inserted directly into the injured joint. A camera is attached to a fiberoptic light source that is shown on a television screen. Our physicians can then look “live” at the injury and use the precise tools and techniques to solve the problem.
Arthroscopic surgery is typically done on the shoulders and knees and less often on the elbows and wrists.
