Sami H. Tuffaha, MD

Awesome

Dr. Tuffaha is a world expert in nerve transfer surgery, and I feel very fortunate that he agreed to take on my case after my left axillary nerve was damaged from previous reverse shoulder replacement surgery. I feel like his nerve transfer brought life back into my arm! I can now do most of the important functions that I couldn't do after my axillary nerve was damaged.

Listened well & encouraging

I am extremely grateful to have Dr Tuffaha fix the nerve problem in my left leg. I have been in pain for more than two years- and he fixed it.

Very knowledgable and professional

I'm a new patient. Johns Hopkins has given me hope!!!! I've had numerous opinions. Everyone said no. There's nothing that can be done and dr tuffaha has said YES, there is hope!!!! God I'm so grateful. To our lord and to you guys!!! I can go on and on. Thank you guys!!!!!

He is the best provider and spends most time with patients and advises the best for patient.

Dr. Tuffaha is great and really helped reduce my pain. He's very knowledgeable and adept at passing on that knowledge.

Great physician!!

Dr. Tuffaha was very thorough during my visit. He listened and asked questions. Suggested an alternate treatment plan and made arrangements for additional test and follow up visit with a colleague. I was very pleased.

I am so grateful for Dr. Tuffaha's surgery on my damaged left arm axillary nerve, both the scar decompression and the nerve transfer. He is extremely skilled in this cutting-edge complex surgery that demands precision. Hopefully he knows how much patients like me appreciate him and all the work that went into making him the world-class surgeon that he is.

I highly recommend Dr. Tuffaha, he Is very professional and a very good doctor

Appreciated being seen by Dr Tuffaha.

Always listens to what I have to say

Pleasant and knowledgeable

Dr.Tuffaha and Johns Hopkins occupational therapist, [staff], saved my wrist and hand from an accident and previous surgery by another provider, which was inadequate.

He toughed out a twelve hour surgery and did everything he could do.

I have total trust in Dr Tuffaha. He listens, takes excellent care, is a fantastic surgeon, friendly and helpful. Just a wonderful professional

Very motivating to talk to really help changed my mood!

This is my second surgery with provider, I was able to walk because of providers surgery to my leg in 2024The recent surgery boosted my confidence that I can use my left hand effectively soon.

As a result of Dr Tuffaha's help , I regained function in my foot and calf after an accident caused nerve damage. His work has improved my function and my independence and made my life better. I came from Canada where there was no plan in place for me. He was outstanding right from the start . My walking has improved , my balance has improved and the results of his surgery has given me confidence to continue to work as a front line police officer .

I feel very lucky Dr. Tuffaha performed end-to-side nerve transfer and scar decompression to address my left axillary nerve, damaged from a reverse total shoulder replacement. He is an excellent surgeon and, as I wait hopefully for the nerve transfer to kick in, my left arm already Is better just from the scar decompression. I am so thankful to Dr. Tuffaha for the improvement and hope his skill and surgery has given me!

He was outstanding. Wish I could have seen him sooner

Dr. Sami is a great doctor. He and his team have helped me a lot. I would recommend him 100 percent.

I'm so grateful John Hopkins has Dr. Tuffaha !
