PATIENT TESTIMONIALS

"When I found out I had to have surgery on my foot, I imagined having to go to the hospital because I needed anesthetic. I was surprised when Dr. Shanahan and Dr. Boyette said the surgery would be right in the office with the help of a nurse anesthetist. I arrived only minutes before the surgery, which would not ever happen at a hospital. Once in the exam room, both doctors explained the procedure. The nurse anesthetist explained her part and the nurses added in additional details regarding what to expect Everyone in the office was very thorough and professional. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. During my surgery, Dr. Boyette and the nurses kept my mother up-dated on the progress and outcome. Everything went smoothly and the convenience of having surgery in the office made surgery so much easier. My needs were definitely met and the process seemed so simple. For this reason, I highly recommend Lakes Foot and Ankle Associates. Thank you."

"Dr. Shanahan really cares about treating and healing his patients. He was very concerned about how my foot was after I left the office. All of the staff are very caring, going so far as gently putting my sock and shoe back on. My care expectations were exceeded. I loved that my surgery could be done in the office rather than having to go to the hospital."
— Regina Billings, Canton, MI

"I had the honor of being operated on in Dr. Shanahan's surgical suite on October 7, 2009. Instead of showing up hours earlier than my scheduled surgery, I was prepped and set up within minutes of my scheduled surgery. It was all quite professional! I had the most personal attention from the physician, the CRNA, and the staff that I had ever received in a Doctor's office, let alone a hospital out-patient unit. Leave it to the young Doctor's to find a better and much more economical way for us to enjoy surgery, rather than fear it. I was far less anxious compared to going to the hospital and the environment was certainly less chaotic. Hopefully this is a process other surgeons will follow in the future to help with hospital overload, sky high pricing of surgery and the impersonal care that most people seem to get in an out-patient situation."
— Mary Epifano, Clarkston, MI

"I had bunion surgery performed by Dr. Shanahan 2 years ago at a local hospital, and then I had my other foot corrected in his office this past summer. The experience in the office-based surgery center was much better. Everything was easier and more convenient. I was home within several hours rather than spending half of my day at the hospital. His staff treated me very well and I felt very confident. I would definitely do it again in his office! (but I am glad I don't have to since I don't have 3 feet!)

"I recently had joint replacement surgery, and I could not be happier with the results. The doctors and staff were wonderful and met my every need. Having the surgery done in the office really made it a lot easier on me. I was very impressed with the professional care I received."

"I’m dropping a line about the foot surgery I had on November 5, 2008. I’ll keep it short and sweet, just like the surgery. Short stay right in the O.R. at Dr. Shanahan’s office and sweet in that everyone was wonderful and professional. They all worked together, took care of all the details that needed to be done and last but not least, took great care of me. I’d definitely choose this option again if I were to need additional surgery in the future. Thanks."

"I want to let you know how pleased I was with your staff and services in my recent surgery. It has been great to find that there was another way of cutting costs."

"My experience with surgery at Lakes Foot and Ankle / SurgiCare Center... First of all the staff was amazing, caring, dedicated and friendly. Dr. Dan was informative, gentle, innovative and professional. The surgical room was state of the art. The total procedure for me was relaxing and I believe it was because the surgery wasn’t done at the hospital. No amount of words can give this office the just praises it deserves. "
