Here's What Our Patients Say About Dr. Ahillen

Excellent doctor, surgeon! Dr. Ahillen is top notch in her field. Thoroughly explains what is wrong, options, and time frames. Every nurse in the OR raved about her. I cannot thank her enough for the great job she did on my hand, wrist, and elbow. I would highly recommend her!

I saw Dr. Ahillen for a finger issue. In short, she was one of the best doctors I have ever seen. She had a wealth of information that she presented cogently. She gave me a set of treatment options, with the pros and cons of each. The actual treatment was painless and effective. Lastly, she always treated me with great kindness. Each of these attributes is rare, but really never occurs in combination. A truly amazing doctor.

Dr. Ahillen and her team are outstanding. I had my surgery in June  with Dr. Ahillen and her assistant Nicole. Both were extremely professional and explained everything. I've had multiple follow-ups in the office since then and every one is extremely kind and caring. Many thanks to everyone for all that you do!
