Here's What Our Patients Say About Dr. Ahillen

I was very impressed by Dr. Ahillen. Not only was everybody in the office friendly and efficient, but Dr. Ahillen was incredibly compassionate, knowledgeable, and extremely thorough. Frankly I wish all of my medical visits were like this. I would highly recommend her and this practice.

She has shot up my fingers with cortisone, performed carpal tunnel surgery and LRTI removal of the thumb joint that was riddled with bone spurs. She is quite an outstanding surgeon, in fact I sought her out. She'll explain everything in detail but still ask if you have questions. Her bedside manner is excellent. She's got it all, gentle with injections, cutting your surgical scar so it blends in over time, informative with alternative treatment styles. You're just excellent!
