    Dr. Shanno is warm and extremely knowledgeable so I got a quick confirmation of my neurological issue, usual outcome and possible options should surgery become necessary. He gave me time to ask any questions I had and made sure I had the necessary drug therapy called into my pharmacy. Also, I really appreciated the presence of an air filter in the room to help keep me safe! The staff was efficient and friendly.

    Dr. Shanno performed a four level lumbar fusion on my deteriorated spine with excellent results. As a Critical Care RN for many years and a former colleague of his I have to say he is the most competent neurosurgeon I've ever met or worked with. That and the fact he is friendly, patient and altogether a nice guy. I wouldn't have trusted my back to anyone else.

  • Dr. Shanno performed disc replacement surgery on my neck and did an awesome job. I saw three different doctors; he was the only one who could repair the entire damaged area. I am lucky that he was able to use three artificial discs and not have to do a fusion in between because my neck feels normal now, with no restriction. I now have a positive outlook on life again, all because of Dr. Shanno’s expertise. I can’t thank him enough for everything he and his team have done for me. Thank you to everyone involved with my care.

    Literally saved my life. At least my way of life. I suffer from spinal stenosis. I tried injections, exercise and physical therapy with limited success. I had gotten to the point where I could barely walk. Immediately after the surgery by Dr. Shanno I felt better. Now, a few months later I am 100% cured. In fact I'd say my back is in better shape now than it was before I developed the condition.

    So I first met Shanno during the start of the lockdown so my appointment was awkward. It wasn’t for few months till I could have my ALIF surgery done I was nervous cause I have had this issue for many years. I was being seen at another clinic doing multiple RFAs and cortisone injections that’s would give minor relief so I got frustrated and reached out to rebound clinic and after my surgery I was in a lot of pain but I could stand up straight something I couldn’t do for years. But the told me to walk and walk and walk and I did and that helped with the pain after surgery unfortunately after one week of physical therapy I chose to leave my job and go to better job with a new fresh start without pain the shanno could help me with. The only thing negative I could say is some of his assistants could be more helpful to the patients but I couldn’t be that mad cause all the other stuff they may have dealt with during the pandemic. After 30 more days I would like to schedule my follow up with Shanno to thank him in person.

    I feel profound gratitude to have the good fortune to be a patient of Doctor Shanno. Last fall pain in my lower back was increasing at a rapid rate. Pain that was formerly resolved, (to a point allowing me limited function), with daily morning stretching and ice pads, became in the course of a month absolutely unbearable. Following an X-Ray and MRI that showed I was suffering from lumbar spinal stenosis diagnosis the staff at Rebound referred me to Doctor Shanno. Quickly scheduled, he performed lower back surgery on multiple vertebrae that provided pain relief and a very fast recovery. I hate to sound trite, but I feel better now than I have in years and look forward to resuming activities free of pain. Doctor Shanno is a remarkably skilled surgeon that I unreservedly recommend.

    Excellent surgeon! First, let me say that De Shanno has operated on the following areas, Cervical 4,5,6 excellent results. Two L3-4, and finally a complete spinal fusion with disc’s. I am a type A personality and probably wanted my recovery to be better and faster than humanly possible. Consequently, I probably went too fast on my exercise program and therefore had a couple of set-backs. At this time, I am better off where I am than to not have had these surgeries. His bed side manner can be a little gruff at times. But, I suppose that when he is in such high demand and as many patients that pull on him I guess I would tend to be a little gruff too. Follow his rules and do very well.

    Went to first visit using a cane, so much pain they had to use a wheelchair when I left. I had been having a series of injections in my low back for over 10 years with only short term relief along with pain medication. Surgery was scheduled with Dr. Shanno for my low back in about 10 days. I call it a miracle and Dr. Shanno a miracle worker! Day surgery. Within 2 weeks I was feeling very good and within aa month I was out working in my garden, rototilling, planting, hauling both dirt and bark dust ( a yard of each) to my garden and flower beds. Without ANY pain and no pain medication. I had been on both morphine for pain and hydrocodone for breakthrough pain. No fun at all, an ice bag was my best friend for months. I bless the day that I saw Dr. Shanno. I am convinced his hand was guided by God and will always thank him for the relief he brought to me and had my life back again.

    I work in healthcare and know that I received exceptional care from both Dr. Shanno and Deb his PA. They looked at my MRI, explained the surgery needed and got me in very quickly. I would highly recommend Dr Shanno and have been very happy with the post-op care as well.

    I went to the doctor when my condition became critical. Strong and frequent dizziness did not even allow me to sit. I believe the Dr. Shanno saved my life.

    I had a microdiskectomy with Dr Shanno. After spending the better party of a year seeing different specialists who all were unable to help me or even tell me what was wrong and still continuing to get worse, Dr Shanno came to the rescue. Everything from the consultation appointment to the follow up post surgery was smooth and as easy as lower back surgery can be. He answered all of my questions and never made me feel rushed through my appointments. I truly appreciate his skills!

    I'm sure Dr Shanno really saved my life. Severe dizziness made it impossible to even think about the future. Dr. Shanno agreed to undergo a severe operation and won. Thank you Doctor!

    Dr. Shanno was terrific. He was clear in explaining my options, did not steer me to one of them, listened to and acknowledged my concerns, and was accepting of my choices. I hope I will not need his services again, but recommend him without any reservation.

    Very friendly. He took his time in the exam room, explaining what was going on and showing me on the MRI and X-rays. I felt very comfortable with him. I am confident in progressing with the surgery.

    August of 2006 I was at home with a horrible headache. I went to Kaiser on Interstate and my Husband was told that I was in grave condition. I had a brain bleed and needed to be seen at S.W. Medical Center in Vancouver. Dr Shanno spoke with my Husband and he said, "Your Wife had a aneurysm burst, but with surgery she will be alright" I thank God for Dr. Shanno he and the Team did a great job! I would have No Other Dr. operate on my brain at all. I am still alive and it's been 11 year's! Thank You Dr.Shanno
