Steven N. Shah, MD

March / 23 / 2023

“The coordination between Riverbend and Slocum for all things knee replacement surgery was absolutely fabulous! From the pre-surgical visit with the nurses and physical therapists to the impressive binder and DVD that was provided, to the 4 months follow up exam, everything went as expected and was sports medicine perfected. I suspect my favorite thoughts about the entire process has to do with making sure “expectations” and “limitations” were clearly known and understood. Throughout the entire process, there were no surprises, other than how well my knee responded and how my arthritic knee pain was gone with the first step I took. Granted I was swollen and medicated ….. 🙂 …..but if you’ve wrestled with bad knees for years, that first step is one you won’t likely forget. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention how personal Dr. Shah was. You could tell he was incredibly busy, but once he came into the room and made eye contact with you, he was right there with you and it felt like I was his most important patient. I umpire college and high school softball and had doubts, at the young age of 59, if I’d be back on the field…but six months post op, I have my first games in early March and can’t tell you enough how much I look forward to getting back on the field. Well done Slocum, 5 stars and a toast (or two) to Dr. Shah!”
