Dr. Randy Alan Shelerud, MD

I was a patient for years. Needed back surgery but he kept telling I didn’t. Had trouble walking and he laughed at me. He took my foot and bent it and told me to stand on it. I was in tears and he kept bending and pushing and pulling despite my cries and objections. Then he wrote stuff in my records that are not true and when I tried to get it corrected Mayo said they back their doctor and refused to even amend to put in my comments and what truly happened. He sent me to another doctor when I said I wanted a 2nd opinion and come to find out he had scripted to him what results to find. I finally went to a Neurosurgeon outside of Mayo and he was appalled that things were left so long. Had surgery and got some relief that Shelrud refused to offer. I’ll never trust Shelrud or his staff again! M. Stone

My experiences with Dr. Randy Shelerud were not pleasant ones. It was like talking to a politician for the most part. He was very inquisitive about what i knew before he would give his opinion. After many exams, physical therapy, MRI, many Injections, Rhizotomies, more injections and more exams he comes up with....there is nothing we can offer you except the pain management clinic. Randy didn't want to find the problem and fix it he just wants me to be on a constant maintenance program for pain. I suggested that he refer me to a Rheumatologist to figure out the cause of pain and he said no that will not do any good. Very frustrating spending a lot of time and resources trying to figure things out and this is what a highly educated Dr. comes up with. I would strongly recommend seeing a different Dr. Sincerely, Earl Wright

Dr. Shelerud was thorough, compassionate and willing to refer me to other specialists to be sure I received the most appropriate care. He has a sense of humor that he uses to put the patient at ease. An enjoyable doctor visit!

This Doctor was great. I had the longest and most thorough exam ever.

Subsequent search for surgical remedies thru other equally renowned specialists unfortunately found me in the same category being untreatable. Dr. Shelrud's advice was clear and acuarte and left me with realistic expectations.

Saw a surgeon who recommended surgery. Went to Dr Shelerud for second opinion. Said did not need surgery. He was incredible, honest and took the time to listen.

This doctor does not have your best interest. He will stab you in the back big time! Stay away, he is the worst doctor I have ever been too.

I NEED a spinal fusion. I get to Dr.Shelerud's office. I received a letter to see a Spinal Surgeon. Resulting in seeing this guy. His attitude was abhorrent, Arrogant, Pompous Immature as a 12 year old. He slammed the door open when I would not "Walk on my tip toes, heels". It is physically impossible when your spine is broken, to walk like a duck. The only thing I can say that. I would not recommend this doctor to anyone. Legal Consultation is in progress as this man isn't fit to treat humans. As he was not compassionate towards my ailments and it seemed like he wanted to be exalted as Jesus our Savior because of his schooling. This man is the type to Euthanize you after he threw you under the bus. - By the way he is Very Good Friends with David W. Beck. The Neurosurgeon who was caught using untested cadavers and is also known for being unable to successfully do just one fusion. People end up having three. He can't get it right the first or second time. Only GOD knows if the third… time is the lucky charm. So cancel your appointments with either. And don't waste your time or risk being paralyzed seeing either of these Quacks.
