Orthopedic Surgeon Specializing in Shoulder and Elbow Surgery in Newport News, VA – Paul Byron McLendon, MD

Dr. McLendon specializes in total shoulder replacement, reverse shoulder replacement and shoulder arthroscopy, as well as shoulder labral repair, rotator cuff repair, patch augmentation of the rotator cuff, superior capsular reconstruction, shoulder tendon transfers and elbow disorders. He is committed to serving each patient with the best care possible.

Dr. McLendon earned his medical degree from the Florida State University College of Medicine. He completed five years of residency training in orthopedic surgery at Mayo Clinic, as well as a shoulder and elbow fellowship at Florida Orthopaedic Institute.

After Dr. McLendon’s own shoulder injury in college led to years of disability, a successful surgery finally resulted in his recovery—and inspired him to become a shoulder and elbow specialist. A strong desire to help others overcome similar problems continues to fuel him today. Knowing that some conditions are not amenable to surgery, he believes all patients deserve the time to understand their problem and treatment options.

I read more about his thoughts or care plan In the after visit summary than what was explained to me. This was my first time seeing a Riverside Ortho specialist other than in the emergency/operating room. I had been seeing another ortho practice prior to my accident/emergency room visit. They always greated me by name when coming in the exam room and sat on a stool and looked me in the eye when talking to me. I always felt heard. I had hoped my visit with Riverside Ortho would be on par. Sorry to say it wasn't. All I can say is maybe he was having a bad day.

Doctor seemed somewhat bored with the whole process. After asking basic questions & checking range of movement, he quickly diagnosed as a possible sprain & told me I need to do physical therapy. I had told the nurse & repeated to him I had just spent two nights in excruciating pain with little sleep & unable to lift arm, but during each day, movement seemed better until this quickly worsens with increased movement throughout the day causing extreme pain at night. [...] This experience has not inspired any confidence that my needs are of any great concern.
