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.
Dr Shuff is absolutely the best
Thorough, knowledgeable, very patient with my questions. Willing to explore all options.
Great doctor. Very attentive and excellent communication skills.
He was very pleasant explained everything to me . No rush on surgery, and take other options first. Great bed side manner.
Dr Shuff sat and explained the problem and the solution. He’s a very caring doctor and is concerned about the well being of his patients. Excellent ‼️
Lovely staff
Usually relatively personable. So Times makes me feel like I am wasting his time. Maybe because I was under Byrd’s care previously?
Very personable and took his time explaining things. Seemed to care about my wellbeing
Dr. Shuff listened to my concerns and wanted further imaging to see what’s going on inside my spine. He did my surgery four years ago and apologized many times for not remembering me but honestly I wouldn’t have expected him to with all the patients he sees and it being so long ago. He is easy to talk to and it made me feel like he cared unlike other doctors I have been to.
First impressions were positive. It was crystal clear that he cared about me and was there to help me. Explanations were clear and precise as was path back to wellness. I was totally comfortable with everything that happened with my visit and extremely happy I have him as my physician.
