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.

HORRIBLE!!!!! BEWARE!! I went here for an examination and had a terrible experience, and I think Shadid is a scam. After a severely injuring my knee, Shadid wrote a report that said nothing was really wrong with me that would require surgery, despite the fact that I can’t run, or even think about cutting on it. I believe I have a high pain tolerance and would power through most things, but this is a serious injury. He was hired by the insurance company, which im guessing they wouldn’t do unless they thought he would benefit them. I was utterly shocked to read this doctors report. I wouldn’t even trust this doctor to administer first aid. Seems to me he has an incentive to continue to issue absolutely horrendous medical evaluations to continue to receive payments and hirings from the insurance company. If so, it’s absolutely disgusting. If you come to any of his offices, BEWARE!!

He is a IME doctor for companys
Dr Shadid did my IME exam and sided with my employer in every way regardless of my injury or work related accident. I’m convinced he gets paid by businesses to deny workman comp. Claims!!!!

Worst doctor!!! STAY FAR AWAY!!! He takes zero time to review any history and makes you feel like your symptoms do not matter. I could write a long paragraph explaining everything but honestly I’m at a loss of words as to what he did to my husband. Please never see this doctor he is LAZY and has NO knowledge

Since my knee surgery by Dr. Shadid in 2005 I have never forgotten his personal and professional skills. My recent appointments with him and his wonderful staff were even more impressive. He and Stacie efficiently, expertly, and empathetically explained my options for treatment, considering my impending 90 year old birthday and the possible complications which would be involved, They assured me that they and all the staff would would be available to help me. I feel greatly blessed!

The medical service and consultation received by Genesis Orthopedics team, especially Dr. Elliot Johnson, were very beneficial, he took the time to listen, discuss and provide best medical recommendations that were very outstanding, definitely recommend going there without any doubt.

Wonderful clinic and great treatment! I had a virtual appointment yesterday (due to covid) and was immediately asked to come in for an in-person meeting. I've been suffering from de Quervain's, which is a tenosynovitis of the wrist in the tendon between the thumb and wrist for about half a year. I originally went to a hospital, and was then sent by referral to orthopedics, which took another month, and was given a cortisone shot. At Genesis, I went in today, was given x-rays and an ultrasound, then had the shot in under an hour. I was also given a special medical thumb brace for my hand, and already have a follow-up appointment booked for physical therapy next time. Wonderful service and everyone was very kind and caring. I saw Sincer Jacob, and he was so nice and knowledgeable, and took great care to make sure to address all my concerns and lay out a clear treatment plan. Highly recommend!!!

I have been a patient of Dr Shadid since April 2019. He got to the root of the problem where previous doctors had failed. Dr. Shadid performed my tendon repair surgery and is continuing to manage my after care. The office staff is polite, efficient, patient, and empathic. Dr Shadid and the PA’s are all amazing. The nurses respond in a timely manner as well as the on-call PA’s. Facility is always clean and neat. Comfortable atmosphere.
