    I''ve had 2 hip replacements & thumb joint revision at a facility in New Albany - very well regarded facility. After my husband found out about Dr. Spolarich last April or so and being with him at every appointment, when it was my turn for shoulder surgery I didn''t hesitate to choose Dr. Spolarich to handle my surgery. I tell everyone about him and Abby.even my PT people at Coshocton Hospital
