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.

Dr. Schaheen is an absolute delight. She’s always smiling and personable. She’s always attentive, she always explains everything to me so I can understand it. She spends as much time with me as I need. I absolutely adore her. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. I wouldn’t go to any anyone else.

Flexor Tendon Repair
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!!!!!

Dr Schaheen is Terrific
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 an amazing, caring surgeon. She was willing to do surgery on my hand so I wouldn’t have to wait 12 months after heart surgery. My cardiologist cleared me if I could find a surgeon who would take the time to do it and not require me to stop taking Plavix. Dr. Emily was willing and did a wonderful job. It’s three months post surgery and I’ve fully recovered. I highly recommend Dr. Emily.

My husband had a work related injury to two fingers on his left hand. He was referred to Dr. Schaheen by the SRMC ER physician. We are thankful she was the surgeon. She was caring and concerned right from the beginning. He is two weeks post-op and because of her surgical skills and concern for the best possible outcome, the end result will be better than we even hoped possible. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Change isn't always a bad thing. I was scheduled to have double Carpal Tunnel surgery with another doctor in the group when I was told that a new surgeon was assigned to my surgery. I was a little worried as I was very familiar with the other surgeon. After meeting with Dr. Schaheen I was immediately put at ease. She is extremely confident and really able to explain the procedure. Everything went like clockwork, what she said would happen did, the recovery was extremely fast and the follow up made me feel like she was vested in my recovery. I cannot tell you what a difference the surgery made in my life. Thank You Dr. Shaheen.

I tore my distal bicep tendon last November (2018) and saw Dr. Schaheen for consultation. From the very first moment my wife and I met the Dr., we were instantly put at ease about the injury, the surgery, the recovery. Dr. Schaheen just had a way of communicating with us that was so personal. We honestly felt like we were her only patient(s) that day. Dr. Schaheen's bed-side manner, her ability to speak in layman's terms and her caring attitude were so amazing, especially in today's world that's going 110 mph and doctors seem to come in and out of the office like a whirl-wind.......... And then the actual surgery, the post-op, the follow-up appointments and the re-hab all went like clock-work under the guidance and direction of Dr. Schaheen. In a nut-shell, after all was said and done, it was obvious to us that Dr. Schaheen was a very skilled and talented surgeon, a highly intelligent lady, and just a downright like-able person.
