Dr Shelbourne physically assaulted me. Stretched my unbending knee out to prove a point while I asked him to stop. Since then it has gotten worse and harder to walk on. He injured me further. This was ignored by the patient advocacy department and the Chief Physician who offered nothing to me but "this will be privately disclosed." I have been traumatized by the entire experience with this Doctor and he will get away with it as often as he pleases.

I tore my ACL skiing. After the local hospital had me do a $3K MRI, and the next closest orthopedic group wanted to do a surgery two days after my visit, I was referred to Dr. Shelbourne. He does not require an MRI for an ACL tear, had me do PT on my own for 2 months prior to surgery, and now 2 weeks after surgery, I have been on my feet for a week, PT is going great, I walked over a mile today, and all is going great. I am so happy I got referred to him by a family friend who is a doctor as well. His methods are perfected by his over 7000 ACL surgeries, and I have heard of no ACL experience any where close to mine in terms of how easy it has been. I have spent 7 days down and never had crutches or splint since my accident. I also had a significant miniscus tear that complicated things for me pain wise, yet was just part of what he was used to doing during such an accident. A++++

My 14 yr old swimmer recently tore his ACL. After several bad experiences with 3 seperate local Dr's (2 wrong diagnosis from urgent care and family dr., and 1 surgeon that "had done a few ACL repairs"), I found Dr. Shelbourne online. From the first time I called his office with questions, his staff has been amazing. Dr Shelbourne has done over 6,000 ACL surgeries. This guy is truly a knee EXPERT. We live 4hrs away, and while it has not been convenient, there's no doubt in my mind we made the best choice for our son. Four weeks after surgery he's back in the water and on a bike (along with therapy). I 100% recommend Dr Shelbourne, and hope that he's still in practice if my family ever needs further knee help!!!

Dr Shelbourne is my hero! He fixed my arthrofibrotic knee 9 years ago when NO OTHER knee surgeon could. Had 4 surgeries prior to him, and after less than 1 week I was released. Still do PT on my own but I run, cycle and do any kind of sports I like! Don't waste your time with other docs, I recommend him wholeheartedly. Bonus: they research and do lifetime follow ups for those with AF!

I am a 63 year old female and was seeing a rheumatologist for my left knee. He recomended an MRI, injections, and surgery. Shelbourne Clinic advised me against it. Using a stationary bike, recommended, I stopped my pain pills, regained motion, and saw the long-term solution to a short-term looking rheumatologist. Thank goodness.

I thought my soccer playing was over. I couldn't run anymore. Then I met Dr. Shelbourne. He saved my knee and my soccer life. I am forever grateful. I reccommend him for any knee related surgery.

Dr. Shelbourne did an ACL repair on me 20 years ago. My knee is great. He is an awesome surgeon. I have been to see him several times since my surgery and his staff has been great. He is the expert in sports related injuries.

I've traveled to see Dr. Shelbourne three times after a local orthopedic surgeon recommended surgery for a knee condition. All three times Dr. Shelbourned looked at the x-rays/MRIs, explained what was going on, and recommended against surgery. When necessary he'd give me exercises/stretches to do. All three times my knee has recovered just fine on its own with no surgery. He is a fantastic doctor. He, or his associates, are the only doctors I would ever let operate on my knee if it was necessary.

Dr. Shelbourne is a world class physician. He really taught me a lot about my knee. He and his staff helped me make a valuable improvement. He has a great approach to treating patients-- very honest and down to earth. I wish more doctors were like him.
