Patient Testimonials

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!!!

Dr. Woolf is methodical, reserved and extremely thorough. He was not quick to cut and agreed to my shoulder replacement after gaining a thorough understanding of my oncology history and the condition of my shoulder. He is confident and quiet. If you're looking for chatty, he's not it. He's an extremely talented surgeon. If you want your hand held, you have to ask lots and lots of questions. He's friendly when responding. He just doesn't offer a lot of information unless you keep asking.

I tore my ACL, MCL and PCL. Dr. Woolf took his time and answered all of my questions. He never acted too busy and made sure I was comfortable with my injury, as much as I could be anyway. We remained hopeful that only my ACL would have to be repaired. A 2 hour surgery was expected, but thankfully Dr. Woolf took his time and checked all of my ligaments and ended up repairing the ACL, MCL and PCL. It turned into a 6-7 hour surgery and I am thankful for that! I am healing quicker then expected, and I know I will be back to doing stupid things as soon he clears me to do so. I am very fortunate to be a patient of Dr. Woolf and thank him for his expertise!

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.

Absolutely LOVE Dr. Ohlson!!! He’s the best of the best!!!

I went to Dr. Ohlson with a very complicated foot/ankle. He took the time to use a skeletal model of the foot to explain where my problems were and why I needed a specific surgery. His assessment made so much sense. Meanwhile, he made suggestions of how I might get relief leading up to surgery. He also tracked down one of my previous providers with a question - no small feat. He seems to be a doc who will go above and beyond. I am very grateful to have found him.

If you’re looking for a cutting edge ortho Dr Blake is the one. Not only does he know what he’s doing he LISTENS . For me that’s really important. I didn’t feel like just a number Thank you !!!

I have never received such detailed information about the options available to me to avoid surgery. His insights and willingness to work with me were very much appreciated.
