Wen Shen's Online Review Report Card

I'll give the staff 5 stars. He doesn't even deserve one star. I had a 5 minute exam with no information about my condition or a treatment plan. He has NO bedside manner at all, which is putting it politely.

Dr. Shen is a wonderful surgeon who answered any question I had. I find him kind compassionate and had me laughing before my surgery which helped me because I was scared. The staff are also wonderful. Thank you.

Dr. Shen is a pleasant young man who showed an interest in my problem and took the time to ask and answer a lot of questions. Dr. Shen discussed in detail my X-rays and possible solutions to the problem. He is definitely an exception to today's rushed medical encounters.

Do not recommend. Appointments ran an hour a behind. I saw him for maybe 3-5 minutes. Did not listen, instead cut me off and gave me horrible advice that actually caused more pain. Not what I would expect from the orthopedic associates of Dutchess county. I found his knowledge on my Injury to be lacking and his “bed side manner” to be awful. I got a second opinion and found his knowledge and recommendations to be wrong. Just overall he didn’t care about me his patient.

One of the worst experiences I have had with any doctor. Appointments were late. I saw him for maybe 3 minutes. Gave me horrible advice that actually caused more pain. Does not care about his patients and I found his knowledge of my Injury which is in his speciality lacking. Overcharged my insurance a outrageous amount. Just overall bad experience and not what I would expect from the orthopedic associates of the Hudson valley. I did get a second opinion from another doctor and was confirmed that his recommendation was wrong.

We were referred to Dr. Shen by another doctor for a condition that required surgery for my 10 year old daughter. At our consultation visit he was very thorough, very informative, explained her ailment, what he was going to do and aftercare in great detail. Day of surgery same thing! Everyone was very attentive, caring and helpful. Would highly recommend!

Dr. Shen saw my husband at the Walk-In Orthopedic Clinic in Kingston. After a very cursory exam (2 or 3 minutes) Dr. Shen told my husband that his proximal fracture of the humerus "would heal on it's own". Which is medically impossible - so we asked to see the X-Ray taken at the ER the day before. Shen got angry, but showed us the X-Ray with a look of disgust on his face. The image clearly showed a displaced fracture and we both wondered if he bothered to look at the X-Ray or the ER's clinical notes prior to examining my husband. The PA, nurse and administrative staff were far more professional and caring than Dr. Shen.

Dr. Shen told my husband, who had a displaced proximal fracture of the humerus, that he thought that his injury would heal on its own. Displaced proximal humerus fractures need surgical intervention in most cases, so his "advice" after an exam that consisted of touching my husband on the collar bone to see if it hurt (why would it? the issue was with his shoulder) and no further exam was useless and in fact, perhaps medically unsound in our opinion. He got angry when my husband asked to see the X-Ray of his fracture and was rude to us thereafter. We made an appointment with another surgeon to get an opinion based on more than one X-ray and a through exam that takes more than 1-2 minutes. Very unhappy and would never use this individual as a surgeon or even to obtain an opinion.

I was referred to Dr. Shen by Dr. Schweppe, both at OADC, since Shen was "more of a foot guy". Dr. Shen did nothing for the pain on the top of my foot but say "I could give you a shot." Didn't offer one at the visit nor ask if I thought I wanted one, no information about what it would do. I left learning nothing about the pain and paid for TWO OFFICE VISITS THAT DID NOTHING FOR ME. Don't recommend either Drs. Schweppe or Shen at Orthopedic Associate of Dutchess Co.

An amazing Doctor! Absolutely love him he had done 5 surgeries on my leg in a year and had taken excellent care of me!
