I had a meniscus tear at the root on my right knee. I was put on a list with my doctor of more than 6 months for a consult, so I looked into getting a private surgery which lead me to Dr. Slade-Shantz in Calgary. I received a thorough evaluation and review of my x-rays and my privately paid for MRI. Since I had injured my self in Dec 2020 I was a good candidate for surgery with little to no arthritis. I proceeded with the surgery in late Sept 2020 and onward to Physio and recovery there after. It was hard at first to stay off the leg for 6 straight weeks but with keeping in mind the end goal it was to have good mobility and stability for walking, hiking, biking and golf it would be worth it. It is now late January 2021 and still an ongoing process but I have been able to go on 45 minute walks with no pain and way better stability. With the excellent follow up by Dr. Slade-Shantz and his staff I can see improvement weekly . I have also been going to Physio and Massage therapy to gain flexibility and strength which is important since the pandemic has restricted access to fitness facilities. I want to thank Dr. Jesse Slade-Shantz for the prompt successful surgery, multiple followup meetings and assessments to date. I look forward to continued improvements from Dr. Jesse and his team.

As always, it was a very informative visit. Can’t say enough good things about this team.

Dr. Shantz is very knowledgeable and cares a lot for his patients.

Excellent care with my son's two shoulder surgerys!

I had shoulder surgery in May 2019 in Vancouver. We were able to schedule both the pre-op referral and the surgery very quickly once I decided to go with private treatment. The procedure went very smoothly and follow up was excellent. I worked with a physiotherapist in Victoria until November and then continued to exercise on my own after that. The shoulder is probably 95% and I am very happy with the outcome. Would definitely make the same decision based on my experience.

I had shoulder surgery in June. I had excellent care before and after surgery. Although the recovery is slow and painful, the pre-surgery education prepared me for it. I now see Whitney Dikoume who is an athletic therapist on his tea m. Her knowledge and technique is the best I have experience through many years of other orthopaedic surgeries.

Jesse and LeeAnne having been nothing short of fantastic. They work as a team to develop a plan for each patient -be it surgery or rehab first. I came in with an acute shoulder injury originally with a few different diagnoses . I consulted with Dr Shantz twice and together with a radiologist friend we arrived on a surgical solution. I felt completely comfortable with Dr Shantz making decisions when I was in surgery ( under anesthetic ) based on what he saw in the scope. His original thoughts were correct and major surgery was not needed, therefore he performed the least invasive operation with a quicker recovery. I will continue to work with LeeAnne and Whitney as part of my rehab

Impressed with the ability to request an appointment with Dr. Shantz from this website !! Thanks, Glen Hancock

Dr. Jesse Slade Shantz and the staff at Acumen Clinic were very supportive of my desire to take action and rehabilitate my left knee from arthritic pain, cartilage and meniscus damage along with inflammation from overuse. Under the excellent care of Dr. Jesse Slade Shantz and staff my experience was very positive, including the consultation which was very informative and decisive. The scheduling and processing times were quick and easy and on the day of the PRP Injection I felt informed and comfortable. The actual procedure was well-executed and I was sent home armed with all information required to begin recovery. I was confident that if I followed the directions of the doctor and staff to the letter my healing would begin. I allowed a few days time to recuperate from the actual injection before I started to appreciate the positive effects of the procedure. It would be an understatement to say, “my knee got a little better each day”. Over the next six weeks my knee healed, the inflammation and noticeable swelling disappeared, and I was able to walk properly again. It was a big relief to be able to walk and cycle again. Thanks again.

Our family can not say enough that Dr. Shantz is AWESOME! We highly recommend him.
