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. Makhni has been wonderful throughout this entire experience. He's kind, caring, & knowledgeable. I couldn't have asked for a better provider during this ACL recovery.

Tommy John’s surgery
Dr. Makhni was awesome. Our son is on a college scholarship for baseball. He is a left handed pitcher. Sadly, he tore his UCL and required Tommy John’s surgery. Now 5 months later he has started his throwing program and is his way to being back on the mound next spring.

I saw Dr. Eric Makhni a year ago because physical therapy had not helped my range of motion on my left shoulder at all after 3 months. Dr. Makhni did Bicep tendon relocation surgery and cleaned up the bone spurs in my left shoulder on February 19th, 2021. Additional physical therapy with the surgery has led to my having full range of motion in my left shoulder that I hadn't had for over 10 years in my left shoulder. I can now do a full push-up all the way down to my chest just a 1/2 inch above the floor and recover which I hadn't been able to do for over 15 years. Having Dr. Makhni do the surgery was the best decision I ever made. His skill as a surgeon and his support after the surgery has led to a better outcome then I actually believed possible.

Dr. Makhni did an amazing job with my surgery. Him coaching me through pre and post surgery, put my mind at ease. He made me feel secure, that what was to come was going to be a long road and made sure I stayed on top of my healing process. His knowledge and him being through was all the more reason why I was happy with the surgery and my healing process. I also appreciated his friendly nature, he made me feel like I was one of his good friends.

Dr. Makhni, is an awesome Doctor. He listens to you throughly and he cares about how you feel. I had to have Right Shoulder Surgery after therapy didn't work out for me. He explained the procedure and about how much time it would take to recover. He assured me that everything would be alright. The surgery was successful and I am so happy with my results. I had a right torn rotator cuff tear and my shoulder froze locked up. Frozen Shoulder they call it. Thanks Again Dr. Makhni, for doing such a wonderful job. After following your instructions and finishing therapy I now have my full range of motion back and no pain.

The care and service I received from Dr. Makhni's office was exceptional. I had surgery on 3 torn hamstring muscles and the next day my pain was gone. The care from the hospital and his team were outstanding. Highly recommend Dr. Makhni.

I had horrible hip pain for approximately 16 months. I tried everything. Dr. Shehab, M.D. HFHS, my Sports Medicine Physician, referred me to Dr. Eric Makhni, M.D. at HFHS. Dr. Makhni added me into his clinic, scheduled me for surgery, and my hip pain is gone! I appreciated all of Dr. Makhni's TEAM! Dr. Makhni explained everything clearly before and after surgery. He gave me a folder with information that answered every one of my questions. He ordered my ice machine, hip brace, exercise machine, and post op supplies and had them delivered to my home BEFORE SURGERY. He called me several times after surgery and is available 24/7 by phone, email, text, etc. He is an exceptional Orthopedic Surgeon, a kind, caring, compassionate person and I highly recommend him. I trust him completely. I feel so energetic, am back to work as a Registered Nurse, and back to doing everything that I love to do. I truly am so grateful for Dr. Makhni's expertise. CK-G
