Dr. Shane Woolf, MD

Separating my shoulder in HS Football led, as an adult, to severe arthritis and 2 surgeries (rotator cuff & labrum). The 1st was botched, the 2nd held me together until rigors of being athletic and a distance cyclist required more. Desiring not just a fix, but outcome allowing me to perform athletically, I did careful research. I could not be happier with my decision to trust my surgery to Dr Shane Woolf at MUSC who specializes in shoulders, sports medicine and fixing botched jobs. Dr Woolf performed a shoulder replacement to eliminate pain and a 2nd surgery to clean abrasions improving range. It has been a long road, but MUSC and Dr Woolf have been there every step with guidance, encouragement, caring and most of all, high competence and results. If you are of similar need, I strongly recommend Dr Woolf. Take my word after 4 surgeries. I am training for Triathlons now and will likely cycle USA coast to coast again soon. Thank you Doc !!!

My daughter injured her knee playing basketball. For over 2 yrs, she went to this Dr.- going through 2 rounds of PT, many visits, many ‘icings’, creams, pills and finally a ‘pie crusting’ procedure on her IT Band, which he identified as the culprit. Had surgery Feb 2018- no luck. Basically was told there was nothing else they could do. Today I found out she has a torn ACL, fiber tears on her MCL and too much cartilage behind her knee. Hmmm.... so 3 years later and another surgery- it will finally be fixed. Would not recommend this dr, nor the rude staff at MUSC.

Very pleased with pre / post surgery diagnosis, evaluation, information, and care.

Saw Dr.woolf about three years ago,he seemed to be in a hurry to be somewhere else.He told me that as long as I had range of motion in my shoulder I didn't need a x-ray and to just live with it.

Extremely knowledgeable and spent time reviewing my charts and explaining my options clearly! Made me feel most comfortable about my condition and gave me options I did not get from another Dr I had seen. Excellent!!!

I tore my ACL, MCL and PCL. Dr. Woolf took his time and answered all of my questions. He never acted too busy and made sure I was comfortable with my injury, as much as I could be anyway. We remained hopeful that only my ACL would have to be repaired. A 2 hour surgery was expected, but thankfully Dr. Woolf took his time and checked all of my ligaments and ended up repairing the ACL, MCL and PCL. It turned into a 6-7 hour surgery and I am thankful for that! I am healing quicker then expected, and I know I will be back to doing stupid things as soon he clears me to do so. I am very fortunate to be a patient of Dr. Woolf and thank him for his expertise!

ive only see Dr. Woolf once, but I was impressed with everything. I'm getting started on PT (again) and look forward to my next visit. I have knee pain as well and hope he can help me with that too. Everything about this first experience was positive.

I am happy and feel lucky i found this doctor he provided all the things i needed to get active again at first i was not sure i would ever be able to move my arm like i can it is very hard at first but he lets you heal and then gets you off meds to be your self again and puts you on physical therapy the damage to my shoulder was the worst you can have in my case i feel lucky take it day by day do what they say and your range of motion will get regular again thank you docter wolf ps. next time you see me you will be happy how much use i have with my shoulder doug
