Dr. William Shell, MD

The staff are all very kind and friendly! Dr William Shell is very patient and thorough. He does not rush through an appointment. He listens and carefully considers your input. I have been a patient of Dr Shell for almost 3 years, he did my left hip replacement 2 years ago and I have had wonderful results with it!

Dr Shell has treated me and my family for several years. Totally trust him.. Great Doctor!

I have been Dr Shell’s patient for two years and have found him thorough, kind, patient, knowledgeable. He is retiring the first of the year which will be the medical world’s loss!

Dr. Shell is a very experienced and skilled surgeon with a great bedside manner. He showed me x-rays and explained how he would repair my pain. I am 70 years old. Surgery went well, and I was playing pickleball 3 months post-op. I would highly recommend him for orthopedic procedures, however, it is moot since he is retiring. Have a relaxing, happy retirement.

He Really listens to you,
