Clear and concise. Gives you pictures of x rays with notes.
I was referred to Dr. Shaheen. By another doctor. I was impressed by the time he takes with patients, explaining everything at your appointment so you understand., surgery he met with me before and my family after explaining all and how it went . Some doctors don’t have the time for that. He makes it. . His surgery scheduler. Amanda explains surgery before during and after she’s great . I actually told him my last appointment his entire staff is a pleasure to work with. They make you feel like the only patient treat you so well. Hopefully I don’t need surgery again, I know if I have to have it. This is the doctor. I look forward to going to his office and himself very attentive and knows the patient needs. Makes you feel very comfortable. .
I'm very grateful to Dr.Shaheen. Very skilled and knowledgeable. I am well healed and up and walking again in a short time. I am very Happy.
Very thorough.
I recently had toe/foot surgery on my left foot performed by Dr. Shaheen. While it's only been a week, and I’m still healing, I can already tell my foot looks better than it did pre-surgery. When the MA changed my dressing yesterday, I was impressed with the improvement. Dr. Shaheen is always timely and made the entire procedure as painless as possible. I would definitely trust him for any future surgeries. In fact, I’m already planning to schedule my right foot in a couple of months — I even told his assistant I’m ready to go anytime! You will not go wrong in choosing Dr. Shaheen for whatever your foot and ankle surgery might be. He is kind, listens, and has your best intentions in his heart.
I was treated by Doctor Shaheen to have some ankle hardware removed that I had since 2012 and I have always had pain when moving my ankle and during running, After x-rays he suggested removing 2 screws that could be the problem and he was right! I have been pain free and look forward to participating in more activities all thanks to him. He is very patient and does not make you feel rushed in any way. I would highly recommend him!
Explained my diagnoses thoroughly and made sure I understood; explained all my options and possible outcomes or prognosis. Did not push surgery as the only option, but gave me the pros and cons of surgery or of not having surgery.
Awesome, level, compassionate.
Dr Shaheen is that perfect blend of technical skill combined with caring about the patient. He performed a successful surgery. He has spent a lot of time explaining things to me in detail. He even personally removed my sutures and dressed my wound - very few doctors do that themselves these days. He is a top guy.
Took time to explain his findings and recommendations. Thorough, helpful, confident. Thank you so much!
