Renee B's Story

Comments: After carefully researching online for an orthopedic specialist, I chose Dr. Al-Shihabi at OAW for a broken wrist. I have complete confidence and trust in him as his credentials are stellar. He suggested surgery after trying physical therapy and cortisone shots first. He explained the possible scenarios with surgery, and I have an MRI scheduled so he can assess exactly what will need to be done. He explained everything clearly and never had me alarmed by mentioning surgery at any time previously. He just took the necessary steps until it was inevitable to mention it and I respect that. Dr. Al-Shihabi has a great bedside manner and is very compassionate. He listens and does not hurry through the visits. Also, I need to mention the staff at both the Brookfield and Pewaukee offices. Everyone is very pleasant and happy. When I first called for an appointment, they fit me in as soon as they possibly could which was greatly appreciated.
