Dr. Waggas Hussain did reverse shoulder replacement last November. The surgery went well and recovery time is a long a process. Physical therapy really helps the recovery process. The ice machine is a must. It helps tremendously in the first 2 weeks after surgery. Dr. Hussain is an excellent surgeon. After 6 months I am playing golf again.

When in for a knee pain checkup. Learned what I already figured - knee replacement in my future. Dr. Hussain was greatly personable, knowledgeable, and comforting. When that surgery does come, I am very comfortable with Dr. Hassain doing the procedure.

Dr. Hussain saw my son for a broken wrist. He was so kind to me and my children during that appointment. He spoke to my son with the injury directly, and explained in very common language so that a child can understand. He is such a kind, respectful, considerate man. It is very refreshing to see a doctor interact with a child directly, and had the time and patience to help him understand what’s going on. I highly recommend him.

Really pleasant employees, from receptionist, nursing staff. Dr Hussain and PA Brandon were knowledgeable. Dr Hussain did not jump to knee replacement as the way to resolve my knee issue right away and this was such a relief. I received Cortisone shots and will go back in 6-8 weeks for follow up. Thank you to everyone who assisted me, but especially Dr Hussain, and especially my Savior Jesus.

Dr. Waqas Hussein and his staff are amazing. I recently had rotator cuff surgery. He explained everything about the surgery and even drew pictures to show me what was going on in the cuff area and answered any questions I had. He always has a positive, caring and compassionate attitude. I’m fortunate to have had him for my doctor and surgeon. I highly recommend him! I give him and the staff at ORA a 💯. They are the best!
