They were wonderful. From the front desk check in during the time of Covid, to Dr. Shah and his staff, to the incredible “back of the house” where the magic happens, everything was great. Patience is needed but compassion and kindness, along with amazing precautions to keep us all safe made this a great experience to fix my hand. I’m so grateful.

Hands down (no pun intended LOL) THE BEST!!! group of Orthopedic Hand Surgeons in the Chicagoland/Northwest Indiana area! Their attention to detail and old school medicine bedside manner only add to the extreme amount of knowledge and excellence that this group of surgeons encompass! They never push surgery unless it is absolutely necessary and will try every which way to avoid it if you don't need it. Go somewhere else if you want to, but you're only wasting your time, because eventually you will end up seeing them. Their front desk staff, their secretaries, and their manager Doreen, are all friendly, helpful, and welcoming. They even go the extra mile to make sure and schedule any test they order for you and your surgery (if needed) the same day and try to make those tests and surgeries happen as soon, and as smooth, as possible. I had the pleasure of working with Yolanda and she helped me every step of the way and never made me feel like I was a bother. Add in that they have X-ray and occupational therapy on site! Keep up the fantastic work! Northwestern needs more offices like yours!

I had a carpal tunnel release procedure and it went as smooth as butter. Dr. Nagle was friendly, informative and is one of those rare doctors that has not only exemplary knowledge of the procedure, but his own technique that he has perfected over years of being in practice, and cares about his patients. The time it takes from consultation, nerve conduction testing to the procedure, post-procedure was minimal and I was back at performing everyday tasks within 3 months. Typical procedures for carpal can take two to three times as long for recovery, but I was able to use my hands the next day (with minimal restrictions). Over a year now and no complications. Simply the best. SIDENOTE: No issues with insurance. I see many reviews that dog a practice because of them. Check with your insurance to see what they cover and what your deductibles and out of pocket requirements are and if they've been met. No one does this and SURPRISE! You get a bill because you didn't do your homework. If a practice is sending you bills, contact your insurance company.

Just left appt today 12/16/19. Two of the Registration desk clerks are very unprofessional. They play at the desk, clapping and loud talking. They look to be new.

I had a really good experience with Dr. Shum. I fractured my wrist on 11/26/17, went to northwestern ER where they set the bone and put on a cast up to my elbow to prevent any twisting movement. I got an appointment here four days later. they took x-rays of my casted wrist and a nurse had some of the excess plaster cut down so my fingers could have a little more movement. Dr. Shum described my fracture to me in detail and was very helpful, gave me a realistic timeline for healing up, about two months, and she was encouraging. She told me to take it easy and hopefully this will just be two month period of my life where I'll focus on resting up and recovering, and that based on my age and general health I should heal up pretty well. I got switched from an elbow length plaster cast to a below the elbow waterproof short cast about 3 weeks after the fracture. She prefers plaster casts so if you'd rather have a waterproof cast ask politely if it's an option for your fracture, it may not be suitable depending on the severity of the injury, etc. the techs who did my casts were always professional and friendly, they did a great job at making me feel comfortable and keeping my wrist in a good position as it healed. the physical therapist I had was also great and I got my range of motion back within about 2-3 weeks of the cast coming off. There's still a weird joint popping feeling when I do one PT exercise but aside from some aching my wrist feels worlds better than it did 9 weeks ago. highly recommend this clinic for their helpful staff and straightforward treatment.
