I ruptured my left ACL ligament in a snow skiing incident in 2019. I am not one to dilly dally so rather than wait months for a public surgeon appointment I somehow found Jesse Slade Shantz. This was probably in the top 5 most fortuitous finds of my life. I contacted Jesse’s office and had an in-person consultation within a week. Any trepidation I may have felt disappeared within the first couple of minutes of my consultation. Jesse inspires confidence from the get go! His manner and knowledge removed my fear. Jesse performed my surgery (allograft) about 10 days after my consult! His manner on the day of the surgery inspires confidence. This man is exceptional. My recovery was very well organized by his staff who were exceptionally cordial and efficient with Jesse overseeing every step of the way. My first graft failed through no fault of Jesse’s. I chose a hamstring graft for my second surgery. Again this second experience was dealt with equally well. Jesse’s follow up to my second surgery was exceptional as well. 2 years after that surgery his staff phoned just to see how I was doing! I voiced some concern over a vague full sensation behind my knee cap. Within a week I had an in person consultation and follow up diagnostics which showed no issues. My knee is almost perfect, I am an adrenaline junkie and my repaired knee has not let me down even once! Thank you Jesse and your amazing team. Thanks to you this 70 year old man is skiing, cycling and rockclimbing like a 40 year old person. If you have a sports injury this is the man to see. Easily a five star rating from me!! From a very pleased patient…..James Graham

After waiting 8 months to get to public hospital for arthroscopic surgery, finally I decided to go private. I was introduced to Dr. Jesse Shantz. It took him only 2 weeks to do surgery on my shoulder. I had a large tendon tear which unfortunately MRI did not see well. Dr. Shantz did surgery on me and now I feel my arm motion is coming back and the pain completely gone. That was probably, the best decision of my life. I rate Dr. Shantz the best, five over five. He is great, extremely experienced, and knowledgeable in sport related surgeries. His stuff are very nice and experienced. Overall the best team.

I would like to thank Dr. Jesse for the amazing results on my Rotator cuff surgery have been. Upon being told it could be three years before getting my shoulder surgery we decided to go the private clinic route. Have not regretted it at all. When your therapists tell you what an amazing job was done on my shoulder by Dr. Jesse that is amazing. Thank you Dr. Jesse and all of your staff. Hopefully you and your family have not been affected by the floods in B.C.

After months of waiting for an appointment with the public system, I contacted Acumen Clinic a year ago. I was in for surgery on my left shoulder capsular release soon after and then followed up with physio. Within no time I was pain free and had full use of the shoulder again. Six months later I was back with the other shoulder but this time was treated for a frozen shoulder and given a cortisone injection with follow up exercises. Again I was pain free and the mobility returned very quickly under their guidance. I am so impressed with the service given by Dr. Jesse and LeeAnne, found them very informative, knowledgeable and thorough. The aftercare provided was second to none. I highly recommend Acumen Clinic.

I had rotator cuff cuff surgery in March 2020. My goal was to be able to play racket sports again. Dr. Shantz and his team are highly professional and approachable. I am so grateful for the level of care I received and am delighted with the results. Suffice to say that I am happily swinging my tennis racket again!

Great doctor . He repaired my rotator cuff, and did a great job. Answered all questions and is very involved with the rehab stage as well. No regrets on my choice for surgery.

From the first consultation, through the surgery and now in recovery, this has been such a positive, encouraging experience! I can’t thank Dr. Jesse & his team enough for offering such a high level of care! I would do it exactly the same all over again.

We have the most fantastic care with Dr Jesse I can’t say enough about him and his staff the have went above and beyond expectations would recommend him to anyone who is needing his services

I am the cautionary tale. Saw Dr. Shantz while waiting to see public surgeon for knee injury. He suggested exercises to try to avoid surgery. Didn’t work. He tried PRP injection. Made it worse. Had him do surgery. Faithfully did rehab and physio. Still had pain. He tried Cengal injection. No help. MRI now shows my knee is worse, and meniscus tear can’t be fixed. Surgery doesn’t always work. Now on pain management waiting to see knee replacement doctor.

I have waited over two years for knee surgery the experience with dr. Shantz was positive, very profesional
