Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Disappointed patient
I suffered a severe industrial injury. Dr Shell and his staff were completely incompetent. He waited almost a month to perform my surgery leaving me with a long list of ongoing issues due to that. His staff is unprofessional, one nurse constantly on her personal cellphone talking and texting. After all of the issues Dr Shell told my job that I was good to return to work with no restrictions. I was still on crutches. The job immediately returned me home. Run away from Dr Shell

Dr. Shell is professional and is easy to talk to. He explains options and he does good work. He performed foot surgery for me in 2019. Now in 2021 he will be working on my other foot. I was satisfied last time and expect to be again.

Great bedside manner! Helped me in an emergent situation when no one else would. He went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and cared for. For me, he is more than my doctor. I trust everything he has said through my entire process! HIGHLY recommend this Orthopedic Surgeon!
