"Dr Shafa and his staff were always professional, thoughtful, engaged and knowledgeable. They listened to me! I had been to other doctors before I selected him and was frustrated. Dr Shafa also uses robotics which I believe has helped me stay ahead of the healing curve. He helped me choose the best type of treatment for me."

—Margaret C., November 2022

"Very positive experience. Gives me hope that everything will be ok and that it will get better. Gave good explanations of what was going to happen next on my journey to a better back!"

—Anna S., November 2022

"This man is truly an angel. I am a completely different person. I went from not being able to walk to walking 8 blocks 4 weeks after my surgery and increasing daily. I would recommend him to everyone. Thank you Dr. Shafa for giving me my life back."
