Dr. Shambaugh was very thorough, focused on my progress since my last visit. I have a partially torn rotator cuff, confirmed after an MRI. My previous visit included an injection and a PT referral. 2 months later, the pain is gone and my strength and range of motion are dramatically improved. Dr. Shambaugh is very attentive and provided me with realistic expectations going forward. I would definitely recommend her.

Dr Shambaugh is great! She's compassionate, has excellent interpersonal skills, and is a good listener. She explains why the knee hurts, what the various options are for improvement without pushing for surgery. She has been my go-to ortho specialist for a number of years and I am happy she is...
