How We Help You

Choose the Right Doctor

Choosing a provider often starts with the procedure you’re interested in, but it should also include the surgeon’s training, experience, communication style and overall approach to care. Some patients arrive knowing exactly which doctor they want to meet, often through a recommendation from a friend or family member. Others contact the practice with a concern or goal in mind and let our team guide them.

Either way works. During the scheduling process, we’ll ask about what you’re considering and help match you with the physician whose experience aligns most closely with your needs.

“Treated me like family through the whole process”

Amazing physician and staff. Dr. Schaheen took extra time to explain everything to me and allowed me to ask questions, insured I had no complications after surgery, and treated me like family through the whole process.

“Professional, knowledgeable, and communicative”

Professional, knowledgeable, and communicative. I’ve only seen her once but she analyzed my hand, recommended a course of action, followed through, and it all worked fine. I can’t say enough about how much I’m impressed. Need a recommendation? Choose her.

“Dr. Schaheen is professional, upbeat, encouraging & skilled!!!”

Dr. Schaheen is professional, upbeat, encouraging & skilled!!! Her surgery on my hand far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend for your surgery needs.

- Sherri

“Dr. Schaheen explains everything top to bottom”

I cut my pinky flexor tendon mid-July, and had a different doctor operate. When I hadn’t seen the greatest results, I went to Dr. Schaheen and she scheduled me for surgery immediately with full communication on what needed to be improved. My surgery was early October, and the scar is already almost non-existent! She is EXTREMELY knowledgeable, and a joy to talk to. She has the sweetest, most nurturing personality. Dr. Schaheen explains everything top to bottom. The only negative thing about her is that I can’t rate above five stars. Dr. Scaheen, you are a JOY!!!!!

- Miranda P.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!”
