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!
