Shaha is awesome
So personable! 10/10 recommend.
Very friendly and kind, it was almost a good time!
Best bedside manner in the biz. Several procedures over the last couple of years as we fix everything that has worn out. Couldn’t be happier with the results and where we’re heading!
Could not ask for a kinder, more knowledgeable doctor!!! I've never felt more confident in a doctor or enjoyed any one with as good of a bedside manner!! So blessed to have him on my side! Loved his PA too. So sweet and kind!!
Had a great experience with Dr Shaha while he was checking out my son’s injured hand and wrist. Very thorough and spent a good amount of time explaining things while looking at the radiographs. Highly recommend Dr Shaha if you’re looking for a knowledgeable and kind surgeon!
Very pleasant staff
Positive experience from beginning to end.
By far the best place overall I've gone to be seen for medical things. Doctor Shaha is the most pleasant person not just Doctor. Answers any and all questions. Explains things very well. Definitely recommend them!
Thank you. office visit was very nice. hope Alaska heart allows me to get treated this time. Pioneer has always been great through 2 knee replacements an 1 spinal surgery. They deal with the VA a lot better than I do.
Quick to be attended to by the doctor and very informative
Everyone was friendly, I didn’t have to wait long. The problem with my hand was taken care of immediately. I’ll definitely go back with any ortho problems.
Awesome doctor. I highly recommend him to anyone needing surgery.

Good service
Excellent from start to finish, staff and Dr Shaha
Top notch. Educated, one on one patient rapore
Kind good bed side manner
Great experience with my shoulder surgery and Dr Shaha has been great.
Excellent results, appreciated the rapId response and highly recommend.
Good experience and feel much better
Was great, to the point. Did a very good job.
I was early for my appointment, asked what was up after 30 minutes and was told I wasn't checked in (which I was). Then they thought I was in for a shot, it was a follow-up from earlier to see if Physical Therapy was working. Appointment lasted 5 minutes after waiting almost an hour.
Dr Shaha, was honest and sympathetic to my nerve damage. Although it is a very slow recovery from breaking my wrist, he gave me suggestions and ways to manage it while waiting for the healing. Thank you for reassuring me. First time patient
The experience was and efficient was very happy, thank you
The surgery seems to have gone gone well. During my 6 week followup I voiced concerns about numbness on the back of my wrist. But it was talked around and not really addressed. I would have liked it if the doctor had been more verbal about about the numbness and what is going on there.
Great description of my son’s injury. Clear advice for healing. The Pioneer Peak team made a best case scenario out of a bummer of a circumstance to get our son active again!
Dr. Shaha is kind, thorough and extremely knowledgeable. I’ve seen him for myself and several of my children and have only had great experiences. His office staff is also amazing. We highly recommend him for any and all of your orthopedic needs.
Dr Shaha is very kind and knowledgable. He made my kid feel very comfy before, during and after surgery. Highly recommend!
Had a great experience having Dr. Shaha as my orthopedic doctor.
