Dave Shaw explained what he thought might be wrong with my leg. He told me the problem could be muscular or vascular. I will try physical therapy and also having nerve test ordered by my primary doctor which he would like to see the results. I did not feel rushed, Dave Shaw was very pleasant and informative. I was very satisfied.

Dave is an excellent Ortho Provider...I liked him so much I followed him to Wilmington Health after being disappointed by Emerge Ortho PAs. He is kind, very knowledgeable & listens to you. He gives a GREAT shoulder steroid injection..and knows WHERE to give it, unlike others I tried. I would not go to anyone else he is the best!

Ive seen alot of Orthos in my day at other places and I've never liked them or felt like they cared. I was always just a paycheck and some even acted bothered to treat me! I met Dave Shaw not expecting much but was blown away by his care! He's not your typical Ortho. He is the best! He treats me like a person and I feel like he cares. I'm so incredibly blessed to have finally found him!!!
