"I was 100% walker dependent for around 7 months up to my surgery with Dr. Shehadi. I was on a medical leave from my job as a licensed practical nurse at the time. I was unable to drive. I was unable to shower without a shower chair . . . I was back to driving, and back to working full time as a nurse in a doctors office within 6 weeks post op! Dr. Shehadi gave me my independence back and I will never be able to say thank you enough!"


“I had two surgeries within a year and now can say I am pain free . . . I feel as I was treated as an individual and not just one of a number of patients. Dr. Shehadi has my and my family's upmost confidence and respect. He respected my wishes as to no blood transfusion and took very good care of me. I would highly recommend Dr. Shehadi to my family and friends, as well as anyone having to have spinal surgery.”


"I am so grateful Dr. Lin referred me to Dr. Shehadi. From the very beginning he set my mind at ease. His kindness and compassion for my 20yrs of pain was amazing! Dr. Shehadi explained exactly how, why and what would happen. The staff is A+ they are compassionate and understanding. Dr. Shehadi met with myself and my husband (on his birthday) the day of my surgery. He was full of optimism and laughter. He explained again briefly what would happen during surgery. His confidence set my mind at ease."


"Dr. Shehadi is an amazing surgeon. He actually cares about his patients and takes his time to explain everything so that the patient can understand and is willing to take as much time as possible to make sure you understand everything before going into surgery . . . I just finished up my 2 week checkup yesterday and everything is going great and I'm so much better. I would highly recommend him to anyone that is in need of a neurosurgeon!"


"It blows my mind to think it will soon be a decade ago my surgery took place and the benefit of having Dr. Shehadi perform for me is still paying off.The only thing more impressive than Dr. Shehadi's people skills is his performance from my surgery. These have been long-lasting results which frankly I didn't expect after a major back surgery. Some doctors are "that good" at what they do. Thank you, Dr. Joseph Shehadi."


"Dr. Shehadi's skill brought me back to a normal life after I suffered a crushed vertebrae in a car accident. His caring nature was so calming when he personally visited me very late that night in the ER, and his positive attitude has kept me going throughout my surgeries and recovery. He and his staff seem almost like family now and everyone displays the same caring attitude for me. They take their time explaining things to me, and give me as much time as I need to ask questions and do their best to answer in a way that I can understand . . . I would certainly recommend him, and have done so, for any type of neurosurgery."
