World-renowned Gobezie Shoulder Institute
joins NOMS Healthcare

Sandusky – The Gobezie Shoulder Institute led by world-renowned orthopaedic surgeon, Reuben Gobezie, MD, joined the large and rapidly growing independent physician collective, NOMS Healthcare August 12, 2019.

Gobezie is one of the country’s top specialists in advanced arthroscopic and open surgical techniques to restore damaged joints, ligaments and bones of the shoulder and elbow. He is also one of the most experienced and highest volume shoulder surgeons in the country.

Studies indicate surgical volume, the number of procedures a surgeon performs each year, is a strong predictor of better patient outcomes. According to Gobezie, the more times a doctor and his surgical team perform a surgery, the better the results for patients.

In a typical year, Gobezie performs more than 400 shoulder replacements and 600 arthroscopic procedures.  For comparison, most general orthopaedic surgeons typically perform around 20 shoulder surgeries per year.

Gobezie is a pioneering shoulder surgeon having developed the first cartilage transplant procedure for the shoulder performed arthroscopically. He also developed advanced new techniques for treating biceps and tendon injuries in athletes.  Along with Dr. Laurent Lafosse, a world leader in arthroscopic shoulder reconstruction, Gobezie developed a minimally invasive total shoulder replacement in France.

In 2015, he received the Charles S. NEER Award, the most prestigious international research award in shoulder surgery.  He lectures at many prominent venues worldwide.

In 2010, Gobezie was elected to American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, the most prestigious specialty society in the United States for shoulder and elbow surgeons. He also received the Patients’ Choice Award, given to physicians who have received near perfect scores as voted by patients. He is a five-year Patient’s Choice award winner, an honor presented to less than one percent of physicians nationally.  Gobezie is consistently ranked on the Top Doctors list by Castle Connolly through peer nomination and extensive screening of doctors across the US.

The Cleveland Shoulder Institute is located at Beachwood Medical Center, 25501 Chagrin Blvd., Suite 200 in Beachwood.  For an appointment, call: 844.746.8537
