The Clinic's mission is to provide excellent patient care, educate patients regarding shoulder conditions and treatments, and contribute to musculoskeletal research.

Shoulder surgery can potentially restore pain-free range of motion and full function to a damaged shoulder joint. Surgery is a treatment for a variety of conditions in your shoulder joint. These include rotator cuff tears, shoulder dislocations, and shoulder separations.

Carl "Scott" Humphrey, MD, is a fellowship-trained shoulder specialist and board certified orthopedic surgeon. In addition to providing non-operative treatments, he routinely performs minimally-invasive rotator cuff repair surgery, shoulder instability repairs, and shoulder replacement surgery. Dr. Humphrey is Idaho's first doctor to be admitted to the prestigious American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), and is a fellowship director who trains other surgeons who wish to specialize in shoulder surgery.
