Patient Testimonials

I went in to see Dr. Woolf for a hip impingement. He took the time to look over my chart and see that I had hip replacement. He thoroughly went through some of my options, but was not being persuasive at all. We talked about getting a cortisone shot with ultrasound. He was vey honest and told me he had a colleague that was more experienced in this procedure. He left the room to make some calls to his colleagues and see when they would be able to do it. He came back and said he had two Dr that were very good at this and could do it today or tomorrow. The receptionist said I was not allowed to see two different Dr in one visit. Dr Friedman said he would come in at 10:30 the following day. This is another Dr in the practice that was wonderful. He spent the time explaining everything and what my situation was. I had bursitis in my hip and this happened to many patients after hip replacement. Both these Dr had phenomenal bed side manner and were true gentlemen. Highly recommend both!!

Very pleased with pre / post surgery diagnosis, evaluation, information, and care.

Separating my shoulder in HS Football led, as an adult, to severe arthritis and 2 surgeries (rotator cuff & labrum). The 1st was botched, the 2nd held me together until rigors of being athletic and a distance cyclist required more. Desiring not just a fix, but outcome allowing me to perform athletically, I did careful research. I could not be happier with my decision to trust my surgery to Dr Shane Woolf at MUSC who specializes in shoulders, sports medicine and fixing botched jobs. Dr Woolf performed a shoulder replacement to eliminate pain and a 2nd surgery to clean abrasions improving range. It has been a long road, but MUSC and Dr Woolf have been there every step with guidance, encouragement, caring and most of all, high competence and results. If you are of similar need, I strongly recommend Dr Woolf. Take my word after 4 surgeries. I am training for Triathlons now and will likely cycle USA coast to coast again soon. Thank you Doc !!!

I was so blessed that Dr. Shane Woolf was recommended to me for shoulder replacement surgery. Throughout the whole period of pre-op, surgery and post op , he has made me feel as though I was his only patient. The care I received at MUSC was outstanding and truly professional. I have recommended Dr. Woolf a number of times recently and those patients were so grateful for my recommendation. I cannot thank him enough for my care and I know that anyone who goes to see him will feel exactly the same way. Thank you so very much. Steve Milligan

At my first visit with Dr. Woolf he offered 4 options for treatment of my injured knee. He had reviewed my prior exrays, talked to the previous Physican, and discussed the pros and cons of each option. When the MRI results were in, Dr.Woolf reviewed and explained every picture. We came to a decision and he scheduled a surgery appointment as soon as possible. He is a knowledgeable professional with excellent patient skills. All appointments were on time and he never seemed rushed.

Love Dr Woolf! He's an excellent physician, reserved demeanor but friendly and kind. Spends a long time with patients until all questions are answered. He's completely professional, non-judgmental and never condescending. I trust his advice completely.

So thankful for Dr. Woolf and his staff for the exceptional care I received. Thank you so much!

He can diagnose sometimes without MRI, because of his experience. Explains the injury and options for rehab in thoughtful manner. He reminds millennial residents of their manners when necessary.

Replaced both shoulders. Excellent job. Very decent man and well respected in the community of professionals and patients.

Extremely knowledgeable and spent time reviewing my charts and explaining my options clearly! Made me feel most comfortable about my condition and gave me options I did not get from another Dr I had seen. Excellent!!!

I am active duty in the Army and stationed in Germany. I injured my foot in July and have not been given a diagnosis. While on leave, Dr. Ohlson squeezed me into his schedule as I am only here for 2 weeks. He was able to finally tell me what was wrong. That same day, I had treatment to my foot and we made a game plan on treating my foot to the best of his ability given my short stay. I am finally relieved to know exactly what is wrong with my foot and what we need to do to fix it. When I come back stateside, I will be a patient and highly recommend him to anyone who is having problems with other doctors giving you the run around.

I found Dr.Ohlson to be compassionate & considerate. He answered all my questions and suggested many treatment options. He took his time to explain all the treatments in laymen terms. I felt extremely well cared for and that I was NOT just a number. The physical therapy being next door was very convenient. The staff in his office was extremely accommodating with schedule requests. I have finished my treatments now and am amazed that I am pain free!!!! Well done to Dr. Ohlson and his caring staff. I'm an extremely satisfied patient. Previously, Dr. Ohlson repaired my ankle in a major complicated surgery. I had brilliant results. His knowledge and professionalism is superior and unparalleled in our area.

I came to Dr Ohlson with arthritis pain in both knees. He suggested shock wave therapy and it has been life changing. Pain is almost completely gone after four of five treatments. Dr Ohlson is so personable and takes the time to explain things well. Thank you so much Dr Ohlson!

My teenaged athlete has seen Dr. Ohlson for two separate injuries. Dr. Ohlson is professional and personable, which comforted my son and me. He took plenty of time evaluating my son, explaining the situation, and answering all my questions without me feeling rushed. The office is equipped with some impressive equipment that helped my son feel better quickly. The physical therapy staff also works closely with the doctors.

Very professional and loves his work. very knowledgeable

I received A+treatment from Dr Ohlson. He explained options and provided excellent medical care. My issue has resolved and I’m grateful for the medical treatment I received.

I visited Dr. Ohlson with sever elbow pain. It was pain I was trying to manage myself with braces, ointments and over the counter medicine. Nothing was working until seeing Dr. Ohlson and using shockwave therapy. He was confident this would help and he was right! Elbow is feeling much better and Dr. Ohlson’s knowledge and professionalism was second to none. Thank you for all of your help!

Dr Ohlson was quickly able to identify the source of my pain and offer an assortment of treatment options I felt comfortable with. His approach was considered and compassionate.

Dr. Ohlson is easy to talk to and answered all of my questions thoroughly.

So my experience with Dr.Ohlson has been far beyond what I expected, the staff is super friendly and very pleasant. The atmosphere around the office is somewhat comforting. Dr.Ohlson explained everything in a way that I could understand what was going on with my healing process. It was all around a great experience definitely recommended.
