Patient Reviews
Oct 08, 2023
Excellent surgeon. I broke my elbow (the tip, 'olecranon') ten months ago. I found Dr. Shankwiler and now that it is healed (which took three months, during which I needed help with dishes, etc.) I am back to playing the cello regularly, gardening, and lifting heavy things. I have two pins and a wire wrap still in place, which I feel ever so slightly from time to time, but it is not an issue. The office staff was very helpful and Dr. Shankwiler also had a very supportive and positive attitude. They were also very reasonable with the surgeon fee since he was out of network in my insurance plan. The doctor also sent me to an excellent physical therapist; within one session I learned the exercises to do to completely resolve the significant residual stiffness I had. Highly recommended!
