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.

He did an amazing job on my partial thyroidectomy. When I go for ultrasound check ups, the technicians comment on how well he did. You can't even tell I had anything done to my neck. His aftercare was wonderful too

Experienced, compassionate care
I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Shellenberger and his team. From my first appointment, Dr. Shellenberger showed a professional demeanor and demonstrated a great knowledge of my underlying issue and the treatment plan. Surgery was a good experience (as good as surgery can be) and advice on post-surgery treatment was comprehensive. With Dr. Shellenberger and his team, I feel like I am being treated as an individual as opposed to just another patient. If you are facing a scary diagnosis of a head or neck cancer, I recommend Dr. Shellenberger and MD Anderson for their knowledge, experience, and ability to help you find a good course of treatment and care.

This is a wonderful Doctor!
My wife (herself an eminent physician) was diagnosed with melanoma of the lip. Dr. Shellenberger took the time to explain the proposed surgery to me and my bride, and counseled us throughout the pre-surgery process. The surgery was a complete success, and the completed outcome was a cosmetic miracle. A skilled and compassionate man!

Recently had a complete thyroidectomy due to sizable nodules. Dr Shellenberger is an artist in his own right - compassionate, caring, warmth and as far as his expertise I can not say enough. I trusted his genuine caring concern for my health and post op day 5 I am emotional with satisfaction and feel blessed to have a remarkable man take care of me in a time of worry and 2020. His whole team are true professionals and I can sincerely say...I owe my life and will be forever grateful ?

My parents were visiting in AZ and my dad ended up at the ER. Dr Shellenberger became his Dr and did his surgery to remove a tumor and his voice box. His concern, care and most of all his skills through all of this were awesome. He knows his stuff. I am so thankful my dad was here visiting when this tumor was discovered. We couldn't have asked for a better physician or hospital. Highly recommended by our family.

One of the kindest and most compassionate human beings I have ever met. Unlike most physicians who lack that certain quality that makes them the best. From diagnosis to surgery and recovery Dr Shellenberger is there for his patient...like you are the only one. There is a calmness and confidence that comes across in his presence and you know he will take great care of you.
