What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
As instructed by another MyMichigan doctor, I notified the receptionist at Dr Woolever’s office that we had another appointment following his appointment. Feeling like I was not heard, I told the nurse that showed us to the room. He seemed uninterested and did not comment on it. I told him we would need to leave by 10:30 to get to our next appointment. At 10:30, 45 minutes after our appointment time and an hour after the requested arrival time we still had not been seen or been updated on Dr Woolever’s arrival. As we left we were told there were still 2-3 people in front of us. 3 days later a post summary was posted with clinical notes on my chart even though I had not spoken or met Dr Woolever! In addition to the terrible communication and service at the office, I was never called post my mri to notify me that I had a complete tear of my rotator cuff or of any of the results. To date, I have still not been called by his office to discuss the mri results and/or treatment.

I had surgery on my femur while on vacation and see Woolover for follow up appointments. I’ve been here for 3 follow up appointments have been pleased with the nurses, Jaimee [ ] and Woolover. Two out of three times now the radiologist has wanted me to x-ray the wrong leg which doesn’t inspire confidence.

Dr. Woolover has been a trusted orthopedic physician caring for me both times I broke my leg in the last 4 years. He operated on my right leg, which healed very well. (My other leg did not need surgery, but he had it X-rayed periodically to monitor it. He is also a very nice person!

He’s been my surgeon for more than 7 yrs and I won’t ever go to another surgeon. Dr.Woolever and his employees are the most caring,professional and knowledgeable people.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Dr Woolever has been my orthopedic doctor for the past 15 years, and I trust his judgment and course of action. He doesn’t beat around the bush and tells it like it is, laughs at my jokes and despite my anatomical problems,, I feel good when I leave. That’s trust. When I need surgery, I let him do what he does best!

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
I had a great deal of trouble getting an appointment for gel injections, getting the runaround frequently. The person responsible for making the appointment was, it seemed, overwhelmed, disorganized, and inept. They can do better. I now have the appointments but it was unnecessarily difficult to do so.

I experienced a traumatic fall and was from out of town. I broke both of my wrists and needed surgery on them. Shane and his staff were outstanding in getting me seen quickly and scheduling surgery. The entire staff was amazing through the whole ordeal. Our entire experience at War Memorial was excellent.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Shane woolover great doctor. Nurses generally good. The front receptionist I would be embarrassed to take anyone on in front of her. To be honest I don’t like going to the office for how disrespectful she is. She’s very rude. Her attitude is so poor and unprofessional I don’t see why she is a receptionist. She doesn’t like people or at least me. People should be trained in how to work with all types of people. Someone who suffers from great depression great anxiety and panic disorder and ptsd this woman will make you feel greatly uncomfortable. Generally when a person window is open you can approach I did and was yelled at to back away from the desk. Will be reaching out to patient relations.

I was able to see him quickly after both ER visits. He ordered the prescriptions,, x-rays, and MRI that I needed and made referrals for PT and an appointment with a pain specialist when it was determined that my problem was not his area of expertise.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Dr Woolever’s staff are friendly and supportive. Dr Woolever is a good doctor who I had services and surgery with in the past. My son and daughter received excellent care. My family (including myself) had our services in [year] and prior years when he had a private practice. I was very surprised at how rushed my time with the doctor was recently in comparison to his private practice.
