Born in Maryland and raised in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, orthopedic spine surgeon Dr. Charles (Ted) Shuff, M.D. completed his undergraduate and master’s degrees at West Virginia University in education and sports medicine. He then completed medical school and a transitional medicine internship at in-state rival Marshall University, prior to completing a biomechanics research fellowship and orthopedic surgery residency at the Medical College of Virginia Hospitals. An orthopedic spine surgery fellowship at prestigious Rush University Medical Center completed his post-graduate training.
Professorships in academic medicine exposed his broad skill set to dozens of resident physicians. A directorship of the Cabell-Huntington Spine Center and dual appointments in the departments of Orthopedic Surgery and Neurosciences at Marshall University further propelled his influence in that region. He has contributed to local, regional and national orthopedic societies, most recently, serving as an at-large member of the board of the West Virginia Orthopedic Society.
Dr. Shuff is board certified in orthopedic surgery. He is versed in all aspects of spinal surgery in both pediatric and adult patients including minimally invasive techniques, surgical navigation of the spine, surgical care of the degenerating cervical and lumbar spine, complex spinal reconstruction such as scoliosis, kyphosis and spondylolisthesis, and surgical treatment of spinal fractures. As an example of his extensive skill set, Dr. Shuff performed southern West Virginia’s first complete column spinal resection for the correction of complex, multidirectional adult deformity while also introducing minimally invasive sacroiliac joint fusions.
Dr. Shuff is blessed to have a beautiful wife, Amanda (whom happens to be an internal medicine physician), four daughters (Anna-Kate, Meredith, Caroline and Adelaide), and one son (Rhett). In his spare time, Dr. Shuff enjoys exercising with his wife and kids, cooking, and playing chess.
He's serious. He makes sure you understand that he can't make promises but will try everything possible to try to help you. He also has a good sense of humor. He's personable.
Could hear staff and doctors talking crap about patients thru paper thin walls. Doctor came in and asked what was going on and i explained what im feeling and have been dealing with and his Opening statement was well i have 35 people today to see and i will have to make time for u over three visit to examine your back. At that point i was done. My goal was to get headed in the right direction for treatment at min or find an issue if one, and i left with feeling like i didnt matter again, and a waste of 50 dollars. Its sad when i felt like the doctor i was offered pills , shots , or more scans and was being ask to choose my own treatment when im the patient coming to an expert for what this person does for a living and should be passionate about it, but i get it everyones burnt out and this world sucks but just totally unprofessional and waste of my time and money
First visit, but I was happy at how it went. Dr Shuff was personable and used the X-rays to explain his diagnosis and the next steps. A clear communicator.
