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.

I have been a patient of Dr. Shall for over thirty years for a variety of Orthopaedic issues. Above board and throughly explained issues and recommendations. No rush! The staff is the best!

Corporate IME shill
I had to go to him for an IME per Insurance Co demand. I was not his patient, the insurance Co was. He spent 10 seconds looking at my medical record before determining that I was 100% cleared to return to work with zero restrictions (technician!) when my surgeon has me on PT 3 times a week, 10lb max lifting and gradual return to work. I will never recommend anyone let Dr Shall touch them as he clearly didn’t have my best interests in mind, as I wasn’t paying him. The insurance company was.

Dr Shall has kept me moving for longer than I have any right to expect! Was happy to find his new office at 1232 Perimeter Pkwy, VB 23454. His staff was pleasant and helpful. And as always, Dr Shall did not rush me out, and instead helped come up with the best plan for me.

Honestly the entire staff at Shall Ortho is fabulous. Everyone from the receptionist, tech, MA and Physician was friendly, approachable and gave you all of the time you needed. It is a rarity not to feel pushed along with simplified answers and I didn't experience that at all! Dr. Shall was amazing, personable, had a great sense of humor, was knowledgeable and efficient. I could not be happier as I feel like I am in great hands! Five Star all of the way!

Absolutely horrible experience. Everyone at the practice was great except for Dr Shall himself. Rude, abrupt, inattentive and absolutely no bedside manner. I had to wait forever to be seen just for him to give me the single worst experience I've ever had with a medical "professional." I heard him loudly on the phone in the hallway talking about possible tax evasion. Stay away!

Dr. Shall was extremely efficient during my visit. He was clear and to the point with his exam and treatment. His treatment worked amazingly well. He diagnosed and treated an injury that had been missed by several doctors in the past. Dr. Shall was very friendly and explained everything to me. He gave me a couple of different treatment options and allowed me to choose without pressuring me toward any specific treatment. I felt like Dr. Shall respected my time during the visit. I was on time for the appointment and was evaluated and treated very quickly after my arrival
