Expert one of a kind gifted in his work as a spinal surgeon ..I was an adult of almost 26 when this Dr. performed my operation. Though the recovery was long and very difficult at times...I don't regret going through surgery. I'm thankful the Lord led me to him for surgery as my situation was quite complex.

Twenty years ago today, Dr. Shufflebarger performed back surgery on me to correct my scoliosis. I'm so very grateful to him and his amazing staff. I have been pain-free ever since. I was able to have children without any issues related to my back. Thank you is not enough but THANK YOU, Dr. Shufflebarger

Dr Shuffelbarger is the best. If your child has any type of back or spine problems don’t let anyone else touch your child

Dr Shufflebarger operated (spinal fusion) on my daughter 14 years ago and she is doing great. He is the expert in this field.

Dr. Shufflebarger was great. He definately knows what he is doing. My son has seen another doctor and we were not getting the answers we needed. Dr. Shufflebarger knew what he was doing. I felt so comfortable with him and my son was not as bad off as I thought. Considering the other doctor we saw could not give us acurate readings on my sons curvage. Granted the wait was almost 2 hours but it was worth it when we got into the office. Highly recommend him
