My wife and I meet with Dr Shifflett to discuss my problems with my cervical and lower lumber spine because I needed another opinion from those that stated I need major surgery immediately.
Dr Shifflet took considerable time with us going over the results of the MRI and X-Rays and the problems I had. He plan that at the beginning did not require surgery but therapy and injections and monitoring with micro surgery if my situation did not improve.
He contacted my primary doctor and discussed with him and we have agreed on the plan.
While other doctors wanted to operate right away Dr Shifflet took the time to to have a plan that would minimize my pain and a alternative to major surgery.
We were impressed with the clarity in explaining the issues and his compassion .

I had a C6-C7 disc implant by Dr Shifflett Aug 2018. I had visited 2 other specialists prior to seeing him, each having different recommendations. The first specialist recommended fusion of C6-C7 due to the level of bone degradation I have, stating an implant would likely not work. The second specialist recommended fusion of all 4 vertebrae C4 thru C7 due to other disc protrusions I had in those interfaces. Of course given I do not generally like to fix things that are not broken, I disregarded the second opinion at the outset. The first opinion I did consider, however knowing an implant would increase the spacing in my spine and this could possibly cause pinching of nerves in areas that were not an issue. I reasoned that if the implant turned out to be a problem I could later resort to the fusion as a last resort. So, I gave it a try and I am glad I did. Dr Shifflett answered all of my questions, and was very patient with me. He was not in a rush and we met on more than one occasion to discuss the procedure. The procedure took a bit more than 1 hour and was performed at the Newport Beach facility. A very clean, professional place and the staff there was outstanding. They prefer an overnight stay to be sure all is well, and I was extremely comfortable. My recovery was great, with no issues afterward. No new pains and healing has gone well. We did a series of follow-ups. and each time I was given ample time to discuss how I was doing. I HIGHLY recommend Dr Shifflett and his team !!!

DISC Surgery Center, Dr. Shifflett and his staff run a great facility. Having had three back surgeries, one in a hospital and two at DISC, their care was so much more personal in that environment. Thanks Dr. Bray and partners for creating what you have

Now awaiting a specific date and time. My thanks to both doctors for their kindness and helpful guidance. Rosalie Swedlin

My appointments Dr. Shifflett are what doctor visits should be. He listens, explains, understands, and is patient. He will stay with you as long as you need, I’ve never felt that I’m one of a ton of patients he has to see, I feel like the only patient. He has made me assured throughout the process of diagnosing and ultimately leading to surgery.

Dr. Grant Shifflett expertly diagnosed the debilitating, extremely painful back and leg problems that had been plaguing me for months. The surgery he performed was very successful and I can now walk (3 weeks post-op) almost entirely pain-free. Dr. Shifflett is easy to talk to, a good listener, down-to-earth, caring and pro-active. His office staff is helpful and responsive. I am very grateful to Dr. Shifflett and his team!
