2. Dr. Huff is the ninth surgeon in the U.S. to use the system for advanced shoulder implant placement during a shoulder replacement procedure.
3. Dr. Huff is fellowship trained in shoulder and elbow surgery from The CORE Institute in Phoenix.
4. After earning his medical degree from the University of Nevada Reno School of Medicine, Dr. Huff completed his residency at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond.
