Dr Shannon is absolutely fantastic! I had been putting off back surgery for 30 years until he had a solution for me. The relief was immediate and getting better. Thank you for giving me a new lease on life!

I’m so thankful for Dr. Shannon. I’m only 5 weeks post-op from ACDF surgery and already feel better than I have in years. I have already recommended him to several of my friends!

Today was my 6 month visit after L5/S1 fusion. I couldn’t be happier with Dr Shannon and his team. Surgery and recovery went well. I always felt I was taken care of. I highly, highly recommend Dr Shannon!

I have nothing to say, but good things about Dr. Shannon as far as I’m concerned, he worked a miracle on my back. I had spent at least the last 15 years not knowing what it was like to walk without bad pain, or even stand without my legs or feet going to sleep. After a four hour surgery I feel like a new man no pain anywhere in my back, my legs, my hips, my legs and feet don’t go to sleep anymore and I used to walk with a bad limp it’s gone. Thank you Dr. Shannon!!
