Overview

I specialize in the treatment of complex sacral, lumbar, thoracic, and cervical spinal disorders in adults using less invasive and open techniques. I have a special interest in the treatment of spinal deformity affecting the cervical or thoracolumbar spine and managing spinal trauma. I aim to care for patients through close collaboration, taking my time to ensure that everyone understands their particular condition and helping each individual make the treatment decision that is right for them and their particular circumstances. Every patient is a person with their own needs and wants, and so I treat each as I would like to be treated at every stage. My team and I are here to help patients with concerns and questions before, during, and after treatment.

I have more than 25 years of experience treating patients of all ages with spinal disorders. I have had an interest in the management of spinal disorders since starting my medical education. I performed residencies in both orthopaedic surgery and neurosurgery to gain a comprehensive understanding of the entire range of spinal disorders. My goal has been to find innovative ways to manage the range of spinal conditions, straightforward to complex. I have a focus on managing patients with complex spinal disorders. My patient evaluation and management philosophy is to provide engaged, compassionate care that focuses on providing the simplest and least aggressive treatment option for a particular condition. In many cases, non-operative treatment options exist to improve a patient’s symptoms. I have been actively engaged in clinical research to find the best ways to manage spinal disorders in order to achieve better results with fewer complications. Dr. Shaffrey is rated as an Elite provider by MediFind in Osteotomy. His top areas of expertise are Scoliosis, Kyphosis, Lordosis, Osteotomy, and Spinal Fusion.
