Totally awesome Doctor..He knew what was going on with my back. listened to all my questions, gave me reassurance that about the next steps and peace of mind about surgery if needed. Just a really cool Doctor that knows his business and knows how to talk to patients. Walked in with doom and gloom and left happy as a clam.

I rather enjoy my short “visits” with Dr. Shuff. We talk common sense, treatment options that progress towards the ultimate goal of me feeling better with less signs and symptoms. Short, sweet, to the point!

Dr. Shuff was very honest with me regarding corrective surgery for scoliosis. He explained the testing I would have to go through to make sure I would benefit from this surgery. I hope I can have surgery to correct this condition and keep it from deteriorating any further. I appreciate his honesty and am hopeful for a successful outcome.

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.
