Mr Dan Shaerf consistently demonstrates a professional and clear manner with patients, actively listening and providing thorough explanations. He reassures patients and their families regarding diagnoses and treatment options, often arranging prompt follow-up and diagnostics such as X-rays and injections on the same day. Some patients mention a minor issue with punctuality. His expertise is frequently highlighted in procedures like wrist fracture management, hand surgery, and treatment for issues such as trigger finger and thumb joint replacement.
During my time with Dr. Shaerf, I underwent a series of X-Ray and MRI tests, culminating in a minor wrist surgery, to find the cause and treat a severe wrist pain that I'd been experiencing intermittently for the past 5-6 years, during which multiple other wrist specialists were unable to appropriately diagnose and treat the issue. Dr. Shaerf was direct, succinct and to the point in his method, communication, and treatment of the issue, without feeling abrupt or dismissive. He was efficient and detailed, without making me feel unimportant. Progress was made in every appointment and consultation. He handled everything professionally and with care, making me feel extremely at ease and in good hands when undergoing surgery as well. I would recommend Dr. Shaerf to anyone for anything from simple consultations to more complex treatments and surgeries. My experience was pretty much flawless. Thanks Dr. Shaerf!
Great manner, very professional and informative. Highly recommend.
I felt encouraged that there were options to address the problem each of which explained fully and clearly
From the first appointment to the surgery itself, Dr Shaerf has been incredibly professional, knowledgeable, polite and very clear in his assessment. Almost immediately he was able to theorise the problem I had spent 4 weeks trying to work out with various scans, GP appointments and physio treatment and his prognosis was picked up finally with the last of 4 scans and proved he was spot on. And I am so grateful he did, as the consequences if I had continued my existing treatments would have been dire (difference between 8 weeks and potentially over a year recovery). The surgery itself was incredibly efficient and I always felt 100% confident in my care and in Dr Shaerf’s abilities. I was given all the information needed without asking, his office booked my follow up appointments automatically and even sorted out my healthcare authorisation for me without me asking - all massively appreciated! I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Dr Shaerf and his practice to anyone. There is nothing more I could have asked for and only positives to comment on. I am so glad and relieved I reached out to them.
I met Mr Shaerf first time. I found him to be very friendly and professional. He listened to my health problem first and then gave his professional diagnosis and how to best resolve my issues step by step. He patiently listened to my questions and concerns and put me to ease by answering them. I left reassured that I was in safe hands and chosen the right consultant for my hand issue.
Very clear and precise diagnosis of a wrist/hand injury translated from complex medical terminology into plain English. Prompt and polite service too. Thank you.
He knows more about wrists than anyone should! Fully trustworthy and practical about the best course of action.
Great service! Dr Shaerf explained to me everything I needed to know
Have had a great experience with Mr Shaerf who has gone above and beyond to help me.
Excellent surgeon and leads in the training the next generation of hand surgeons. Excellent and clear communication
