Announcing the retirement of Dr. Suzanne Hall, MD and the closure of Appalachian Shoulder Specialists, Appalachian Orthopaedics.  Requests for office records must be made by March 7, 2024.  After that, operative reports can still be obtained directly from Pardee Hospital Medical Records.  CDs of radiographic images such as Xrays and MRIs can be obtained from Pardee Hospital Radiology if done there. If follow up is being done by an orthopedist within the UNCH system, they have direct access to Pardee Radiology images via computer so no CD is needed.  We have enjoyed taking care of you over the years and appreciated your trust in us.  We wish you all the best. 

Dr. Suzanne Hall is a Fellowship Trained Shoulder Specialist. 

This extra expertise creates a very different experience for those in need of shoulder care. The visit begins by really listening to you.  Family or friends are encouraged to come as an extra pair of eyes and ears.  The exam is thorough and tests are only ordered when necessary.  Diagnoses are clearly explained.

Whenever possible, nonoperative treatment is tried first.  When surgery is needed, gentle techniques are used to minimize pain, speed healing, and maximize results.  After surgery, you are instructed in home exercises which can usually be done without physical therapy.
