Went in with severe left knee pain and Dr. Hussein was very attentive to my needs. He gave me an injection for the pain and described in detail the next steps. Iβm still feeling pain but the pain is minimal to what I was feeling when I first went in. Thank you Dr. Hussein for caring about my health.
You can usually get in rather quickly and all the employees show empathy for the pain the realize you are in!
I've been having trouble with my hips and legs. Doctor Hussein took x rays. He explained everything to me, Then sent his p eight dan in and he gave me a shot in the hip. Although the shot didn't feel good, it has helped me a lot.
I have seen Dr Waqsa Hussain and find him to be easy to talk to, he explained my options regarding a hip issue, then set me up with another Dr there to discuss surgery. Thank you.
Very good at surgery! Very pleasant office visits. He always has a smile on his face.

Hussain is a wonderful doctor and pretty darn cute π
Everyone that we came in context with knew their job and were very good at it. From the gentleman and lady who took my splint off an on, to the nurse at Genesis. I donβt think I have ever had an IV put in where I wasnβt left with a bruise, not this time. I didnβt get sick from the anesthesia, which is definitely unusual. And Dr. Hussein was so kind to both my husband and I. Wholly a good experience, just one I wish I wouldnβt have had to have ! Lol
Awesome Dr. always a good experience with Dr. Hussain.

I HIGHLY recommend Waqas Hussain. He performed rotator cuff and bicep surgery on my shoulder April 1st 2024. Everything seems to be healing well. He has been communicating with my physical therapist in Aledo and he even complimented him with the notes he's sent to him. Waqas Hussain is caring, compassionate and spends time with me. He doesn't rush me to get to the next patient. A huge plus. I'm thankful that he was my surgeon. Great experience thus far!
Explains conditions and options clearly. Dr. Hussain and his staff have cheerful personalities.
Couldn't ask for a more caring person. Explained all options. Made me feel comfortable with the decisions made.
Dr. Waqas Hussain is the best orthopedic doctor in the quad cities.
From my shoulder diagnosis until my return to work, I couldn't have asked for better care then I got from Waqas Hussain, M.D. He always took the time to answer all of my questions and full detail, and worked with me and my therapist during my recovery.
Absolutely love Dr W. Hussain. He is so kind & takes his time.
Very good experience from start to 6 weeks later. Everything went smoother than expected!
I have had 2 surgeries with Dr. Hussain and both were very successful. His bed side manner is so pleasant and he always listens to your concerns. He is really good at explaining things, and he always has a big smile on his face. Wonderful doctor and surgeon.

He is best .He take of the case as should.
Great doctor that helped with my knee problems
Dr: Waqas Hussain is an amazing and communicative doctor. We were able to see the doctor with little wait time. He took the time to answer my questions despite his busy schedule, and made sure I understood everything about my knee pain to relieve my worries. Great experience and would recommend!
I was able to get an appointment quickly. Doctor is very nice, makes you feel at ease not rushed.
Very professional. Great bedside manner. Explains all options and procedures tbouroughly. Extreemely highly recommended!
Dr Hussain is a great doctor. He did my total knee replacement and I am 7 months out and I'm pleased with the result. As i stated before. He is a very caring doctor.
Had a long wait but I usually donβt. The staff apologized several times. I understand unexpected things come up some days. Dr. Is always so nice, listens and comes up with a plan!
Great experience. Feeling better already. Was seen without a wait. Dr Hussain was kind, polite, and explained everything including possible surgery later. Everyone in the office was very nice & offered help with a wheelchair. The ONLY little complaint was the woman in imaging. She was rushing me, & didn't seem very compassionate about my disability & the excruciating pain I was in. I even began to cry. Other than that I'm very happy.
Dr Hussain is always friendly and is great at explaining results He includes your thoughts and concerns when making plan of care
When I first met Dr Hussain, I immediately trusted him. What a gentle confidant man he is! I could hardly wait til my surgery came up. It went slicker than a whistle. I don't remember much pain til I went to therapy. The doctor was just as kind at my follow up appointment. My other knee needs replacing but don't want to get it done. Don't have enough time in my life.
I was very pleased with staff as a new patient. I didnβt have to wait long and saw the doctor for my shoulder issues. Dr. Hussain is very knowledgeable and friendly, made the visit comfortable for me.
Amazing Doctor. Cares!!! And very thankful we have him in this area!
A very caring position took every precaution and my wife's entire health history and future treatments and consideration before he decided to treat her. His professionalism and kindness goes above and beyond thank you Brian Farrell
Dr. Waquas Hussain is one of the best doctors out there. Kind, compassionate, caring. Wonderful bedside manner!! I had an issue with one of the nurses at the hospital and told him about it. He let me know that he was going to call her supervisor and I later found out he also spoke to the President of the hospital. It's so nice knowing that he had my back and I can't thank him enough for that!! Dr. Hussain really cares for his patients and wants the best for them. He goes above and beyond the call of duty!! I'm very grateful I found him!!
BEST HIP & Knee doctor !! He has such Respect for you and your care !!! So easy to talk to he listens to you when u have concerns or questions! He is AMAZING !!
Dr. Hussain is amazing! I can't express how thankful to him for fixing my shoulder. The exceptional bedside manner he has is heartwarming.
Very professional, friendly and explained everything thoroughly.
Dr Hussain is an awesome doctor! He knows how to treat his patients with kindness, respect and compassion. He explains the X-rays in a way that makes total sense! He lets you what he recommends and lets you know if you need to come back. I was in and out of my appointment on time. The staff was very helpful too.
Dr Waqas Hussain is an absolutely awesome doctor who listens to me and shows me the X-rays and explains what the X-rays mean. He tells me what he recommends as far as treatment and he lets me know when to come back to see him. He is so nice and friendly and really cares about his patients. I would give him a 10 if I could!!
Taking great care of me after shoulder replacement. This was expected as this Doctor and facility are top notch ! The staff and Doctors go above and beyond to take care of all the people they provide services for .
Dr. Hussain was such a pleasant surprise. The office was VERY busy on the day of my first appointment and he was running significantly behind. I was brought back to get X-rays, before seeing the doctor. It was incredibly uncomfortable and the ladies were so compassionate and patient with me as I did my best to adjust and hold poses that caused a lot of pain. When I teared-up, they worked quickly and reassured me that they understood I was hurting and to just do what I could. When I finally was greeted by the doctor, I was honestly expecting him to rush in, tell me what his diagnosis was and then ask if I had questions before rushing back out. But that was not my experience AT ALL! He had such a calm, kind energy. He was genuine and apologetic about my wait. Seemed frustrated that he was so behind and that his patients were waiting. I told him I was kind of expecting that (from working for a specialist) and he assured me that it does NOT happen regularly there (YAY!). He sat down. He took time with me. He showed me what he saw on my X-rays and explained his diagnosis. He was gentle with me when I became upset but also did a great job letting me know βThis is where youβre at. It IS disappointing. Now here is my plan to help you stay active and enjoy life again.β He got me on a treatment plan and I am actually looking forward to my follow-up. I highly recommend Dr Hussain!
Thank you for relief of pain in my right knee. It has been effective. I would recommend you to any people I know for there orthopedic needs.
Great attitude pleasant. I feel comfortable talking with him. Gets issues dealt with asap.
I WAS HAPPY THE DOCTOR IS ABLE TO HELP ME WITH MY FINGER I READY EXITED ABOUT IT THANK YOU SO MUCH. THE DOCTOR SO GOOD π I LIKE HIM.
