Patient Reviews
Jul 11, 2020
Doctor Shimer was the second spinal doctor I visited. He spent a significant amount of time listening to me and after evaluating my MRI, suggested a plan which included finishing my treatment with the first doctor which he thought was unlikely to resolve my disc issue and scheduled surgery as he believed the severe issue could only be resolved by surgery. This approach was significantly different than Doctor #1 who was of the opinion that I may have to live with the pain associated with my disc issue and was focused on pain management rather than a solution to the core issue. After completing the treatment with doctor #1 and seeing absolutely no improvemnet I kept my surgical appointment with Dr. Shimer. The surgery went extremely well and my issue was immediately resolved. That evening I was walking normally, had absolutely no pain, & no bleeding from the incision site. Dr. Shimer's analysis of my disc issue and expert surgery was the exact medicine I needed. Thank you Dr. Shimer
