I got opinions from 4 surgeons, including one who was the Johns Hopkins sports team shoulder specialist. After showing all of them the MRI shot and talking to them, I took two off my list because they seemed kind of awe of the MRI ("Wow, that's a big tear!" "Hmmmm....") I chose the JHU guy for several reasons (one was I found an article from some East Coast magazine "What surgeon do surgeons go to?" and he was the one shoulder surgeons went to) but the fact that he talked to me in terms of returning to all my athletic activities vs. just having a successful surgery was the deal maker. Turned out to be a good decision.
