Dr. Schiffman did about 7 hand surgeries for me when he was at Hinsdale Orthopedics. Now I need more help, so I travelled to go to Gottlieb to see him. He's the best! Bud A

Everything is good
Didn't really do much. No follow up at all.
Perfect
the service was excellent, however maybe because it was my 1st visit, the office didn't appear to be friendly like other office 1st time visits. I may feel better about the visit on my next visit.
I am very pleased with my visit to Dr. Schiffman's practice. I thank him and his friendly staff for the kind treatment I received. A new patient, I was, nonetheless, able to make my appointment on short notice. The amount of "new patient" paperwork was very reasonable. My examination was thorough, with sincere regard for my concerns. The visit was efficiently conducted, without seeming rushed. I am happy that I chose Dr. Schiffman's practice. I highly recommend it!

Very professional
Verified patient
I have an injury to my entire left hand which had been operated on by another surgeon. I had hoped for a miracle but suspected it was not to be. Indeed, additional surgery on the scale needed more often than not does not produce good results. I appreciate knowing the truth and having my suspicions confirmed.
Verified patient
Dr. Schiffman was a kind, professional, highly-skilled orthopaedic surgeon who recommended conservative treatments before surgery decisions.
Verified patient
I felt that Dr. Schiffman was thoughtful, direct, accommodating, careful, and very competent. I appreciated his approach of offering the least invasive, and more patient involved recommendation for treatment. It worked and I am very grateful.
Dr. Shiffman was very compassionate and very informative to my break of my wrist. He did a wonderful job. Great physician. I will recommend him to others.
Good clinical outcomes; Good communication skills; Made a referral to another physician for a specialized procedure that also had a good outcome.
My visit was excellent! From the reception area/receptionist, all necessary information was available, I was escorted into the exam room almost immediately and my exam completed thoroughly and quickly. All my questions were answered to my satisfaction
Pleasant, positive and professional!!!
