Dr Shanfield is an excellent orthopedic physician. He operated on my ankle in 2011 and continues to follow me as my arthritis progresses. I am able to walk because of Dr Shanfield's surgical skills and I am grateful for every visit we have. He genuinely cares about patients in a way we don't see much of anymore.

Providence Patient
Each caregiver I interacted with treated me with dignity and respect. The provider listened carefully to my concerns and we developed a plan of care together. I was able to receive a treatment that day. Dr. Shanfield showed care and compassion for the reason for my visit and I appreciated his expertise.
