The times that I have seen Dr. Shubinets he has always been kind which means a lot to me. He listens to my concerns and he checks everything out each time. I’m having surgery on 2/5 and Dr. Shubinets explained everything in detail to me. He is a wonderful doctor and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who needs his services. Thank you Dr. Shubinets.

Dr. Shubinets is awesome. I recently had surgery for a trigger finger and the whole process was easy. He’s a total pro and really knows his stuff, but what stood out most was how compassionate he was. He actually listens and explains things so they make sense, which really put me at ease. If you're looking for a hand surgeon who actually cares about his patients, he’s the guy to see. 10/10.

Excellent care from start to finish. Dr. Shubinets was kind, knowledgeable, and explained my thumb fracture clearly. I felt well taken care of and would highly recommend.

Dr. Shubinets is extremely attentive and takes the time to look at my hand and explain what needs to happens next. The office staff is always polite , pleasant and have never kept me waiting. I thank goodness that Dr . Shubinets was the hand surgeon on duty the day I needed surgery to keep my left hand. I strongly recommend him and his team if you ever need work on anything related to the arm or hand. PS. He calls to see how you are doing and doesn’t just leave it to his staff.
