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.

Best Orthopedic Dictor!
Dr Shani performed two knee surgeries last year, he is an amazing doctor, professional, explains everything in detail. He took the time to speak to my son, explain the procedures, and at the hospital visited with him. Follow up was great, no pain and back on my feet within a week. He has a great staff, Terri, is fantastic, always there to assist you and make sure all your questions are answered. What a dynamite team! Dr Shani, thank you for everything you do for me!

Dr Shani and his staff have been amazing. He has been leading the way for me on some back and hip pain issues even though that is not his specialty. I would not have been able to make the progress that I have so quickly without him and his staff helping and expediting things for me. I will be having take care of my knee very soon. Thank you to Dr Shani and his staff and the clinic!!

My experience with Dr. Shani was very pleasant. He did a great job answering any questions that I had and addressed my concerns. He was very professional and laid back which helped to calm my nerves as this my first time having a major surgery. I'm satisfied with the end result and I would definitely recommend him!

I highly recommend Dr. Raj Shani; He’s an excellent doctor. When I made my first appointment I didn’t know anything about him. This was an emergency appointment since I was in a lot of pain on my right knee and my leg was swollen. I needed to see a doctor right away. I feel blessed he end up being my doctor. Dr. Shani recommended an MRI. On my second appointment he reviewed my MRI He explained everything of what to expect during this process. Dr. Shani and his office staff are very pleasan

Weird - tried to make an appointment for my knee injury based on a recommendation from someone who is 54. I found out he doesn’t see patients over 50 (I’m 53). Oh well, lots and lots of openings for those under 50.

Dr. Shani did surgery hip surgery on my mom March 30, 2017. I haven't seen him since. He has NOT been to her room to check on her . I thought he was ok because I saw him with my church member who had knee surgery that he (shani) performed.

Dr. Shani repaired my distal biceps tendon and I was amazed how quickly I recovered. He used a minimally invasive technique with a small incision. Got my strength back with no problems. He explained the entire process and got me back in the weight room and I am feeling great!!

I had a horrible experience. I would not recommend Dr. Shani. He "may have severed a nerve" ..... which he did during my distal repair he performed. I needed another surgery....tendon transfer...to make my thumb work again. More casts...months of recovery, rehab (again after distal) and 3k more out of pocket... pain and suffering...w a huge scar. He never offered to at least pay for my out of pocket expenses for second surgery ...due to his error. Again....i can not recommend him.

Due to character restricts, I'm only able to leave part of the entire story. Long sorry short, the doctor was pleasant, the x-ray tech was compassionate; however the office staff was extremely condescending. I suffered a injury at work and was referred to this office via a coworker. What a bad choice, the office end up charging my insurance a office visit fee along with a ridiculous amount for a brace that could have not been issued knowing they had not received proper authorization from workcom

Saw this doctor for a broken thumb. He did an MRI, called me in to be seen. Paid $60 deductible to se him. He told me the ligament was torn and I'd have to see a hand surgeon as he doesn't handle hands. Ok, he couldn't have just had someone share this with me on the phone??? Had to pay $60 just to tell me?!! Wrong, I just feel i was cheated out of $60 that I'll never see.

Sends a crazy lady to drug test you around before he visits with you. This is a major turn off, why can't I just fill out a form with the medications I take on it? Why do patients have to stick something in their mouth? On top of this your insurance will be billed for the test. How about you stick the swab where the sun don't shine buddy.
