Chicago – Becker’s Orthopedic, Spine & Pain Management Review is pleased to announce the inclusion of Dr. William Prickett on its list: “65 Outstanding Shoulder Surgeons and Specialists”. The physicians on this list were selected based on their expertise in shoulder surgery, leadership positions, excellent research and reputation among other shoulder specialists. The editorial team publicly solicited recommendations for this list and chose additional physicians through extensive internal research. Physicians do not pay and cannot pay for inclusion on this list.
