Dr Shinabarger is probably THE best doctor/surgeon that I have ever seen and I've seen a lot. He is so upbeat and happy. Very positive. He remembers important things about you and your family. He remembered our new grandsons name. I am so confident in my surgery and the repairs he did. My husband and I both are dreading the day we see him last. He is a keeper.

I trust him completely and always feel better after seeing him. He explains and tells me the truth, but is encouraging and says things like, well it Is all about small victories isn't it? He answers ALL of my questions. He is a skilled, knowledgeable, caring doctor and surgeon. I wouldn't go to anyone else. I consider him the gold standard in his profession.

Felt a bit rushed but that's typical for Legacy. As is often the case, the assistant asked irrelevant questions and didn't seem to understand what was needed. The doctor, as usual, was very good.

I came into the office on crutches with a freshly broken fibula. Assistance was offered by staff, but I felt that my autonomy and independence was respected, which was important to me. I also did not have to wait very long to be seen and was allowed to move furniture around to get comfortable in the waiting room. The care team and the doctor himself were all very kind as well as extremely conscientious and gentle with my injury, especially during my assessment and x-rays. Additionally, all of my questions were answered and I appreciate that I was given a realistic and compassionate answer when I asked the doctor (pre x-rays) if I'd need surgery.....While the human beings were wonderful, I would have liked a white noise machine in the exam room (mostly to help with anxiety- the aspect of surgery was especially was difficult).Also it would have been easier to get comfortable in the waiting room if there were foot rests/ ottomans/ foot stools available or offered to prop up my injured ankle. It struck me as odd and inconvenient that these weren't already present in an office specializing in podiatry.

Excellent response and recommended surgery on left foot bunion. Surgery was well done, little pain and the recovery to date is terrific. Shinabarger is an excellent surgeon, great interpersonal skills and I'd recommend him to family or friends

This was an absolutely great surgical experience! Everyone took great care of me throughout the process! Specialists such as the Anesthesiologists went in very great clear and concise details to answer all of my questions. The nurses provided me with great care and really helped me out on the day of the surgery. This surgery went smoothly and very well, I am motivated to get my left foot healed so that Dr Shinabarger can perform the same procedures on my right foot as soon as he thinks I have recovered sufficiently from my left foot operations. I now have hope that I will back running again one day, I know it will be a while, that is ok. I am extremely grateful for having Dr. Shinabarger operate on my left foot. Thanks to everyone who helped make this possible!

Since it generally takes 3 weeks from appointment request to appointment availability, it would be optimal to have a 'wait list' option in order to have a chance at an earlier appointment. I waited too long with my condition, hoping it would resolve itself, before contacting the specialist. It appears I should make an appointment ASAP and then cancel if my condition resolves prior to the appointment date.

I was seen first by an intern who explained plantar fasciitis in clear terms and a friendly, attentive manner, Dr. Shinabarger came into the exam room after about 15 minutes, looked at my foot, and recommended treatment. He spent about 5 minutes with me.

Dr. Shinabarger is a real asset to the Legacy Medical Group. He is not only an excellent practitioner in terms of skill and expertise, he also has a top tier professional manner with excellent communication and personal care. I am extremely grateful for being a patient of Dr. Shinabarger. I had an unfortunate accident, but was fortunate to be connected with him as a care giver. BIG Thank you to him and the whole team.

I didn't feel rushed during the visit. But two things he said he would do for me. He didn't tell the nurse who came to bring in my review of my visit. I had to ask for a referral list.

I was impressed with Dr Shinabarger's knowledge, experience, and plan to repair my bone and tendon. He was very polite, direct, and attentive at any concern and question I had. He made sure I understood exactly how the injury created the bone break and how the repair would heal the bone and tendon. He also offered an option to his plan to consider. Dr Shinabarger has a smile throughout our appointment as well as a moment to discuss hobbies.

I love Dr. Shinabarger. He is by far the best doctor I've ever had, of any kind. He's incredibly smart and confidence inspiring, but also has great 'bedside manner'. He's all around a fantastic doctor. I wish he could just be my regular doc I see for everything. (I know I can't, and that's okay, he's doing amazing things for people's feet and he's 100% the reason I can walk today)

Dr. Shinabarger is highly experienced, which gives confidence to this patient. He knows what he's doing and can talk about it. I have great respect for his skill. He tends to be in a hurry, but I think that is his nature. I have followed his post-operative instructions, and I am totally satisfied with the outcome, almost a year after surgery. My old foot and I have Dr. Shinabarger to thank.

The provider is very rushed. His residents spend time with me but when he comes in I would say he Is with me for less than 2 minutes. I get conflicting information from him that makes me not completely trust his recommendations (ie. I work with a physical therapist who gave very clear recommendations that conflicted with Dr Shinabarger's-for example he told me that it was ok to walk barefoot around the house when my foot was still clearly fx and the PT felt that was not supportive for healing). My foot is healing but the fx is still visible on the xray (per the Radiologist's reading) and Dr Shinabarger signed off on my care. So I will just assume it will continue to heal with no additional xrays planned. That does not seem right to me.

I felt like he didn't understand that I don't have money to get my feet taken care of but yet he gave me false hope that someone would come to my house or I could go to someone who could help me. I however have to pay out of pocket. If I could do that I wouldn't of needed to go there!!!

Dr Shinabarger was great. He listened to my history, did a careful exam, reviewed the xrays with me and identified what he thought the issue was and how it could be addressed. His MA Nyrie was professional and welcoming. She was timely in answering my messages in My Chart and helped facilitate the insurance authorization needed for my MRI. She and Dr. Shinabarger, and their xray tech were top notch

The intake form only lists Male or female options. Gender isn't binary! Between 1-3% of people are known to be trans or nonbinary and this number is likely much higher. Also check your reasons for asking. If medical, there are lots of cis people who you shouldn't make gender based assumptions about either, for instance a cis woman who has had a hysterectomy. If you just want to know pronouns, ask "what pronouns do you prefer (for instance he, she, or they)". Leave the gender question out until its actually needed for medical reasons, then be more specific ("are you currently menstruating" "is it physically possible for you to get pregnant") for instance. Fix your form. Stop causing harm with this question.

Dr. Shinabarger is an eXCEPTional caretaker. He really knows whatvhe is talking about and doing, but also makes me feel important and cared for. He gives me all the time I need to get answers and feel truly cared for. I don't mind the longer wait to be seen because I know it is probably due to him giving similar full attentive care to patients ahead of me. Superstar doctor.

This foot surgery needed to be coordinated with a post cancer surgery. All things were designed as needed. Several things to juggle but everything has come together beautifully. The doctor had a baby born and still came hours later to check on my post surgery appointment. All these details have been greatly appreciated.

Dr. Shinabarger is an amazing doctor, but your hospitals valet service is a nightmare. Twice now they've double parked me into the handicapped spots at the from entrance. One time, my wife let the guy know when he was getting out and he said he didn't care and left me trapped in my vehicle. I was almost late for my appointment waiting for him to return. The amount of anger I felt over being disrespected this way is immeasurable.

Podiatrist took X-ray of right foot, nothing broken but discussed bunion and arthritis. Didn't really have much to say or advise for me. Had his assistant hand me some printed exercises to do at home after Dr. Left the exam room, to strengthen my ankle which makes no sense to me as I don't have a problem with my ankle. Assistant was not very friendly. I have done the exercises for two days since the appt and my foot hurts more. I've seen two different podiatrists in the past five months, just one at a legacy facility and not happy with either visit. Just handed sheets of paper to buy certain types of shoes or inserts that cost a small fortune and don't seem to help at all.
