Dr. Shaha is the BEST!! My family and I will ONLY see Dr. Shaha, for any upper body orthopedics, as he’s THE Upper Body Orthopedist. He’s done surgery on both my hubby and myself, and he was AMAZING!!! He did such a fantasticShow more job on my hubby’s surgery, that he was way ahead of schedule, with regards to his recovery and PT! He explains EVERYTHING, in a way that’s easy to understand, and answers any and all questions you may have. He makes sure you understand EVERYTHING about your procedure, and the aftermath, and makes sure that you’re comfortable with proceeding. His nurses and staff, including front desk and exit people, are just as great. They work with you about scheduling, as well as dealing with any questions you may have about ANYTHING!! I really couldn’t recommend Dr. Shaha and Pioneer Peak, any higher. They are the ONLY place and doctor, that we will go to for upper body orthopedic issues. You really can’t go wrong with DR. Shaha and Pioneer Peak. They really, REALLY are the VERY BEST!!!
Dr. Shaha walked me through everything, and explained my MRI in detail. Showing me exactly where the problems in my knee were and what exactly was causing the pain. He gave me options and solid recommendations for a way ahead toShow more deal with my knee challenges. He was prepared in advanced and I liked that he walked me through each option. The staff that work with him are also all extremely professional, have patience, and are kind. I am glad I was referred here as my doctors office had several staff that also seen this doctor for prior care. I feel confident in the decision we made to move forward with repairs and my chances of a solid recovery.
