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.

I really loved Dr. Ahillen as a person, but my finger looked better broken than it does after surgery and I’m left with an essentially unusable finger that still causes pain.

MICHELE A. in STERLING – Jul 16, 2018
Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Ahillen?
I came to Dr. Ahillen because I had terrible case of carpal tunnel syndrome in both of my wrists. It started about 2 1/2 years before and got to the point where I couldn't put on make-up or write without being in extreme pain. Dr Ahillen was so attentive from the first appointment to the last. She listened to every question and answered them all without rushing me. And best of all she gave me the use of my hands back. She is a wonderful doctor and surgeon. I highly recommend her.

Excellent bedside manners. Very thorough in explaining the current hand problem, potential signs to look out for, etc. Gave sufficient time, was not in a rush (as I find many docs in this field can be). Really pleasant experience.
