Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Don't end your life here
How do you describe a place that is below zero? It's taken some time and restraint to BEGIN my outpouring of disgust about Shallenberger and his practice. He is in the business of money, not people. I saw so many PEOPLE there for help in their most dire of times being treated like a factory and being sold hopeless dreams just before their inevitable end. So many HIPPA violations let alone violations on a basic human level. So many people will put all hope and dreams into him in their dying days hoping for a miracle. He will take your money with a smile and continue to give hope until you are too ill to continue. Surround yourself with love and without pain in comfort, not here!

He's a FAKE!
I'm AMAZED he is still practicing. I WASTED THOUSANDS on his nonsense 20 years ago. Now, I see him plugging his lies on social media. RUN AWAY!!!

Totally recommend this man!!!
Dr. Shallenberger is the BEST doctor I've ever had an experience with. After surfing for many years and getting my poor body slammed in wipeouts, at age 71 I have a really messed up back. Since age 23 it 'goes out' pretty regularly. A orthopedist wanted to fuse my 5 lower vertebrae. About 5 years ago I started getting prolozone therapy from Dr. Shallenberger. He told me when we had our initial consult that he didn't know for sure that it would help me. Since I'd tried everything but surgery, I thought it was worth a shot. I had about 7 sessions of prolozone (with the blood platelet component). It has changed my life. My back still gives me trouble occasionally, but nothing like it used to. Thank you Dr. Shallenberger for helping me.

Appalling! We entered a completely unsafe, unsanitary practice to receive Ozone therapy on 1/21/21. NOT A SINGLE NURSE, ADMIN OR DOCTOR, nor patient (the few we could see 70+) was wearing a mask. One person in scrubs was "hacking up a lung" coughing. There is NO TRANSPARENCY to new patients about their UNSAFE BUSINESS PRACTICES DURING THE HEIGHT OF COVD and against state mandates. Their "post on the door" provides a simple excuse that their staff can bypass restrictions due to "claustrophobia, COPD, etc.". I am absolutely certain that everyone of these people wear a mask when grocery shopping, going to restaurants...businesses that REFUSE SERVICE without a mask. Shallenberger has already been cited by the Board of Medical Examiners in NV and in CA (malpractice). We WASTED 2+ WEEKS to get my husband a "post-Covid" Ozone treatment due to their lack of transparency. BEWARE...IF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR HEALTH AND COVID & WANT PROFESSIONAL HEALTHCARE YOU DO NOT WANT TO GO HERE.

The doctor's joint pain treatment has either completely resolved or nearly resolved the severe pain experienced for over a year by both my husband and myself and had eliminated the need for surgery. Highly recommended!

With one visit, Dr. S reduced pain in my chronically injured knee by about 60%. He is knowledgeable, compassionate and highly skilled. I'll be back soon.

Have followed his newsletter for 15 years and have found it very helpful. Have visited his clinic, also helpful. Caution: While his melatonin protocol is lovely, please know that it can lead to explosive, ongoing diarrhea.
