Amazing Surgeon!!!
Dr. Rahhal replaced my middle knuckle, yes really! and a carpul tunnel redo. After a lifetime of working, joints wear out and cause immense pain, I went "under the knife" expecting to wake up in more pain, I had less, and less everyday after. I couldn't say enough about her knowledge compassion and kindness, and the concern she had about controlling my pain, I had less pain from surgery and recovery than I had from the wore out joint! Her office and OR staff and anesthesiologist are all awesome at what they do and are all amazing people. I have had multiple cortisone shots in the hand from different docs and somehow hers hurt the least, helped the most and lasted the longest. Thank You So Much Dr. R, you have taken the anxiety out of going to the doctor, getting shots in the fingers and hands and getting sliced up, and thanks for the new pain-free Terminator knuckle.

Dr Rahhal sets the gold standard for hand surgery. Recently (12/30/11)she performed carpal tunnel surgery on my 78 year old hand. I tried to ignore the condition for four years until it severely interferred with my sleep and quality of life. Now, three weeks later, my symptoms have almost disappeard and my hand is healing nicely. I attribute this success to Dr. Rahhal's skill. She is professional and knowledgeable at the same time that she is warm and attentive. She is clear in her explanations and ready to answer questions without jargon. She was on time for two appointments as well as the surgery itself. I cannot recommend her more highly. In fact, I may put my other hand in a blender in order to see her again, although I probably won't. She is young and at the top of her game.
