I had Shawn do a shoulder injection into the joint for arthritic pain. Shawn is informative, professional, and the injection was absolutely pain free. 10/10 would see him again.

I saw Shawn about a ganglion cyst in my right arm. The cyst has caused extreme pain and loss of function. Shawn listened to what I had to say and explained what he thought was happening. He pushed to get things done very quickly. I had an MRI less than a week after my appointment. The Dr's office called the very next day and said the MRI confirmed what Shawn thought was happening. The nurse said he is searching for a surgeon now. An hour or so later, the surgeon's office called and scheduled an appt for the next coming Monday. I am very impressed with Shawn and all the staff at the orthopedic clinic in Quitman. They welcomed me in and treated me like family! I very highly recommend them to anyone who is tired of being treated like you're just a number. They truly care about their patients!
