Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent service.
Excellent service. Sidney treated my daughter and everything went perfectly. 100% recommended!

An Exceptional Experience with Dr. David Shenassa
Exceptional Care from Dr. David Shenassa and His TeamI had a scapholunate ligament injury in my left wrist and struggled to find a doctor who believed surgery was worthwhile due to my age. Dr. Shenassa took my case seriously, assessing my true physical condition and offering the best solution.Thanks to his expertise, my October 31, 2024, surgery was a success. While recovery usually takes eight months, I was fully recovered in less than four. Now, I can continue playing soccer with 'Las Huracanas', and live pain-free.I highly recommend Dr. Shenassa and his team for their professionalism and dedication. They truly make a difference!

I 100% recommend Dr Shenassa and his team
I had several painful and disabling conditions in my left hand, wrist, thumb and elbow, each of which caused disability and required a different surgery to correct. My left hand and arm had ultimately became useless and the pain had become unbearable. I needed surgery for the three severe conditions. Dr Shenassa advised that he could perform all three surgeries at the same time, removing the requirement for three separate trips to the OR, as he specialized in the hand and arm up to the elbow. The results and improvement are already amazing after only 4- 1-2 weeks post-op. Dr. Shenassa’s PA’s, Jesse and Sydnee are both excellent practitioners and handled much of my post-op care. The surgeries went well and the only pain I am now experiencing in that area is the welcome pain of healing. I am grateful to Dr. Shenassa and his team for their excellent care and the results thus far.

Hand Injury
I would like to express my sincere thanks and gratitude to Dr. David Shenassa's Weston Office medical staff, specifically Coordinator Devynn and PA Jesse, who took the time to see me without an appointment. While I stood at the office visit window, Coordinator Devynn observed the severity of my injury, and she immediately ensured I saw a medical professional the same day. I met with PA Jesse, who expedited a follow-up appointment with Dr. Shenassa the next day. This was 'old school' patient care in full display, and I trust them wholeheartedly with my care. I will forever be indebted to Dr. David Shenassa's medical staff for their care and professionalism, and I recommend this office without any reservation.More to follow.Thank you

Dr. Shenassa cares about his patients, as do his staff. He explains the procedures in layman's term so the patient understands what to expect. I have no qualms about recommending Dr. Shenassa and his office & medical staff.

AMAZING!
“I want to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Shenassa for the incredible job he did putting my wrist back together. After suffering a severe and complex fracture, I had serious doubts about how well my wrist would recover, but the results have been nothing short of amazing. I’m fully healed and pain free, which I never thought would be possible. His bedside manner is equally remarkable. He took the time to explain everything, made me feel comfortsble, and showed genuine care throughout the entire process. I couldn’t be more thankful for his skill and compassion. I highly recommend Dr Shenassa to anyone in need of an Orthopedic Surgeon”

Dr Shenassa is the best
Have been using Dr Shenassa since 2009 the first time i broke my wrist. the second time I broke my wrist shortly after and it was healing very slowly and he sent me to my internist to have bloodwork down to check calcium levels and other blood work, to find I had HyperParathyroidism thus finding and my getting treating a condition that pulls calcium out of your bones , so was caught before it would have been picked up on routine drs visits. he looks at the big Picture not just the broken bone. over the 15 years I have been a patient of his office he has taken care several breaks and broken fingers ,carpal tunnel & an arthritic wrist issue that required surgery. he did't sugar coat it, told me it would take a decade of months to be working as i wanted it to and now my artistic hands are creating again. you will not find a more personable Dr, Caring, patience unbelievable .He is so knowledgable and stays on top of new treatments. His PA Sydney is the best, always there for you &listens!

Best Hand Surgeon in South Florida
As a Dentist myself, My hands are most important to me. I hurt my pinky finger which hindered my ability to practice dentistry. Dr Shenassa made time for a consult to see me, booked the surgery to repair my finger, performed the procedure and had be back drilling teeth in no time. His surgical skills as well as bedside manner are first class. His Surgical PA was extremly caring and knowledgable and guided me through the entire experience. I highly recommend Dr Shenassa and his team.

Amputation right thumb gone well !
Really good experience !I cut the top of my right thumb, 2023 december 23th, and Dr Shenassa operate (ampute about 1 inch). After the operation, he try to regrow the skin and the soft tissus. On febuary 19th, i was using my thumb again without bandages. He put a special powder, A-Matrix, and the skin grow back. I am really happy. At first, i was not a believer of the potential of recup my thumb flexibility but i will do physio and i will be back as near new !

Horrible Experience
My first appt was with Sydney, his PA. That went well. I discussed with her everything I had done to help my chronic elbow pain. Everything from PT; OMM; injections; acupuncture. A previous x-ray taken was completely clean; x-ray in there office was not clean. She said I needed an MRI, which she ordered and that's when everything went down hill. The MRI was denied because there were no off notes; office notes were sent WITHOUT any history of everything I had done to help my chronic pain. So it was denied again for lack of treatment for 6 weeks prior to ordering MRI; how about 2 years worth! I requested a peer to peer review hoping Sydney would be able to discuss my previous treatment done to get it approved. It's now been over 3 weeks since initial MRI order and nothing. No return calls from my many messages left on VM. I never did get an appt with Dr S, because there was no MRI to discuss. Scripts in FL are only good for 30 days. Now, I get to start all over!

AMAZING doctor!
Dr. Shenassa and his team are amazing! He did surgery on my wrist after I fell. He is very thorough and caring as is his team. His PA Jesse is fantastic too! The physical therapy team led by Jennifer were AMAZING! I actually look forward to therapy so I can see everyone and will miss them when I am done. If you need a hand doctor, Dr. Shenassa is the person to see!
