Strong balanced healthcare advice in an easily accessible setting. This is becoming a rarity in Asheville, NC, where a three month wait to see a specialist is more and more common. Well done EmergOrtho for making Dr. Shea available. I got an appointment and my questions answered in less than a week.

Thoughtful, listened to my concerns, told me what physical tests he was going to do and didn’t force anything (didn’t grab and jerk me around like I have experienced with other doctors. Provided both hope and realistic outcomes and what to expect next.

Went into EmergeOrtho Urgent Care as a walk in. Swelling and pain in my left knee. Dr Shea was very understanding and diagnosed my issue after a short exam. Performed a short procedure which gave me almost instant relief and should continue for the next couple months. Highly recommend Dr Shea for his skills and expertise
