Patient Reviews
Feb 28, 2024
After multiple other treatments including chiropractic care, accuuncture, injections, and more, I finally found Dr. Shen. After a disc replacement at c 5/6, I have my life back. When I think of how many doctors who looked at and attempted to treat my injury, I cannot believe how quickly he diagnosed and treated my condition. I will forever be thankful for his care and I will seek him if further issues arise.

The man is a miracle worker. I had a spinal laminectomy for nerve compression 2 years prior to visiting Dr. Shen. At that time it was 3 months total off work, 1 month therapy. 2 yrs later I still had pain and was told by my prior surgeon that was as good as it gets unless fused. That meant hospital stay, 3 months or more off work etc. Went to see Dr. Shen who told me they could do the same thing endoscopically out patient 2.5 hrs then home, 3 days rest, back to work! I was amazed! Yes, I did exactly that. I took a few days off work NO DISABILITY, vacation time. Went back to work. I'm heavily involved with iT infrastructure. NOT a desk job. Travel over 1000 miles a week. Do all sorts of things involving all sorts of bending twisting etc. I cannot speak highly enough for his skills, compassion, empathy, and popularity. He knows his job and invented better techniques of doing it. His experience speaks volumes and I was lucky enough to have him fix the problem with very little time involved. He is always a phone call away and returned every call! If you have back problems he is the Dr. The Surgeon, the man to see. A++++++++++ in my book.
