Nael Shanti, M.D.

Excellent Doctor with compassion and patience!

Super fast with prognosis- didn’t seem to really care about in-depth issue of cause for problem.

Dr. Shanti was a bit rushed at my first visit, but the follow up was excellent. He took the time to explain everything, in a clear and honest way. I feel very confident in his ability and knowledge.

Dr Shanti is super!

Very efficient and thorough

Dr. Shanti seems like a smart and thoughtful person who researched into my specific case. Seems like there are few options for me right now, and until I get relief I reserve a top rating for Dr. Shanti.

Very kind and responsive. Took time on a weekend to call me.

Dr Shanti is an outstanding surgeon and doctor. My pain was a 10 before I saw him, after surgery my pain is almost absent.

He is always sure to provide answers to all of my questions. He is very involved in helping me to understand my condition.

Dr Shanti was wonderful. He was very kind, compassionate, willing to listen and help me.

Pleasant, professional, and competent. I wish he had taken just a few more minutes to explain the likely nature and prognosis for my chronic - now somewhat acute - old-man stiff neck problem.

Very attentive and direct. Explained everything clearly. I would recommend him

Great doctor

Cannot really make a good rating until after get the MRI, and then options / discussions with Dr. Shanti.

A highly professional MD, with vast knowledge and the human touch.

All around good doctor

He was attentive, informative, and empathetic.

Dr. Shanti listened to me with consideration, and answered all my questions. He provided solid guidance, clear explanations of my injury and my treatment options. I am very pleased to have a functional treatment plan, with my lifestyle taken into consideration. He informed me of things that my prior care team missed or omitted. He seems knowledgeable and kind, with excellent bedside manner. (Also, he has a fantastic sense of style.)

From the first word, I could tell Dr. Shanti cares about his patients. He listens well, and considers my thoughts and questions important. I haven’t had my surgery yet, but I am confident I’m in good hands.

I appreciated the great way he really listened to me. I know he’s willing to try whatever it takes to help me feel better!

Dr shanti really a trying to help.

Excellent communication

The visit felt very rushed. They must have a lot of patients in the day and I’m just one of them.

He always listens to what the patient wants are.

Dr. Shanti does litstin

Very attentive and knowledgeable. Understood my concerns which were all addressed.

The evaluation was thorough and the plan of action is a logical and conservative next step.

I thought he rushed through the appointment. He spoke too fast. I had to ask him to slow down while speaking so I could fully understand my diagnosis. He didn’t show me the X-ray which revealed some concerns.

As always he was candid compassionate and through

Dr. Shanti performed miracles on my back.

Explained things so I could understand what was happening to me. Felt very comfortable with him.

This doctor listened to me and went over all my options! He was very kind & caring!

Dr. Shanti was super attentive. He listened to every word I said and made sure I understood the course of treatment. I could not have asked for better.

It would help if a spine specialist would have wheel chairs available for patients/customers.

Dr. Shanti is the kindest, most compassionate doctor I have ever seen.

Very professional and approachable.

Great Doctor

Takes the time to listen and discuss problems and options.

Unfortunately I felt the doctor was not very sympathetic to my pain. He explained to me that my MRI looked normal but he saw that i was clearly crying. i left with not a clear diagnosis and needed to call back later to find out what my diagnosis is. He said he would recommend an injection and that they did it onsite. then when i went to set up that appointment they couldnt get me in for 2/12 weeks so i left in pain

Friendly, understanding and willing to listen. Reviewed my options with me well

Very understanding and supportive. A very competent physician.

Honesties helpful

Great doctor

Nael was very responsive to my questions. I feel that my back problem is moving toward resolution.

Dr. Nael Shanti is an excellent proivider he explains and makes sure that the patient actually knows what and why their body is in pain and how to correct the problem and to me if we had more doctors who would do that like Dr. Shanti people would trust doctors again. Keep up the GOOD WORK!!!!!! He is a Very Rare Breed in his profession.

Pleased that he did “his home work” before seeing me

He is amazing everyone that works there is the best

I felt that he really cared about my medical issues and to find a solution.

Only reason not a 5 is because today was my first visit. If I get better, I will definitely up to a 5. Patient and thorough

Dr. Shanti and his staff are amazing.From the first phone call to the last goodbye you are treated like a patient not just a numbered chart. He and the amazing staff of nurses work to make sure you are taken care. I would highly recommend him if a fusion is in your future.

Great appointment with Dr Shanti. He is very kind and empathetic. He diagnosed right away that I had a pinched nerve and gave me the right treatment after suffering weeks.

Pleasant office and staff. I have hope!

Just meet the doctor and in a short visit he is knowledgeable, understanding and caring.

Dr. Shanti listened to me and explained options very well.

Had a great experience!

Excellent rapport with his patients. Listened attentively and I felt very confident with his recommenations.

Could not ask for more from an initial visit.

This Doctor is the most helpful practioner that I have had in many years.

It was my first time meeting with Dr. Shanti, but he was very thorough. He was very polite and was able to diagnose part of concers just in the first visit. Even explained the next steps and asked if I was ok with that. He seems to genuinely care about his patients.

There is a good reason I travel 1.5 hours from Liberty N.C. to see Dr. Shanti !!!! Only because he is the best!!! THE ONLY DOWN SIDE HE ROOTS FORE FSU ! ROLL TIDE! However he is still the best.

Dr. Shanti is very professional and is very patient friendly.

Awesome

Dr. Shanti was very real but personal. He explained my situation so that I could

I would prefer rating him until subsequent visits have occurred. However, for a first visit, it was very brief.

I thought Dr Shanti was attentive to all my needs and answered all my questions. I would recommend him to anyone.

Explained the process fully and asked if I had any questions.

Dr. Shanti was very kind and patient when I asked all my questions...and I had a lot of questions! He also thoroughly reviewed all of my options with me. Wonderful doctor!

Thanks to a kind and professional staff, nurse, and doctor!

Quick visit, and basically just asking for another MRI. So unfair to rate Dr. SHanti yet.

Excellent! Attentive, great listener, proactive yet conservative in diagnosing.

Very caring and sincere. Gave me plenty of options.

Great!

Very short examination, didn't feel that he gave a whole hearted engagement. I felt that he was in a hurry to move to the next patient.

Dr Shanti has always listened..and has the best intentions for his patients & for that i am truly grateful.

Polite, efficient and explained everything clearly.

Excellent review and planning.

Dr. Shanti was amazing to my 16 year old son. He was through and told my son he would rather be safe and see exactly what’s going on and ordered an MRI. I appreciated that he did that especially with my son playing hockey an MRI would definitely get to the root of his pain.

Explained things well. Was quick, but not too quick. He out my options and let me decide what I wanted to do.

Felt the doc was not listening to my concerns and needs.

Excellent very polite, attentive. Easy to talk with. Listens and explains problems patient has.

Excellent bedside manners.

This was my first appt and I like this dr very much. He answered all of my questions and concerns and put me very much at ease.

Dr ran 40 min late. Nurse took a few xrays and then dr came in. Spent about 7 min with me before telling me to get PT and to come back in a month. Didn’t actually look at my back or have me bend/squat to see what I was complaint about. Felt pushed through the system

Great bedside manner. Would definitely recommend Dr. Shanti!

Excellent appointment

Excellent care and proper concern shown

Thank you Dr Shanti for meeting me where I am! You understood my pain dilemma and honored my desire for healing ;)

Very pleasant, and informative

Very good visit

Extremely professional. Excellent mannerisms. Great followup.

Good Doc that drives a Benz.... :)

Very personable and knowledgeable. This was my first visit so it was more of an acquaintance . I feel confident in his knowledge.

Excellent doctor !

The best.

Dr Shanti saw me at a moments notice and scheduled the necessary tests to diagnose a tricky situation. He followed up immediately with the results. Very pleased with the entire process, I would highly recommend Cary Ortho & Dr Shanti.

Dr . Ashanti was very polite and professional. Only reason for not 5 stars is that I felt our appointment was very rushed and hurried.

Great doctor

Didn't read the papers I filled out. Seemed to know nothing about me or why I came. Not a good listener and lacks bedside manner. The jury is still out on the other medical stuff.

Taking the time to discuss options with your patients and seeing the joy in employees working there makes a difference with the growing insurance issues. Dr Shanti is awesome!!!!

Dr. Shanti was compassionate and truly cared for the way I was feeling. He immediately sought the solution to help me by consulting his colleague in the room with me. Transparent, honest and deeply caring of his patients! Thank you Dr. Shanti!!!

Best doc ever! Very kind and compassionate and excellent surgeon!

explained the procedure and next steps

Had X Rays and Dr was with me maybe 6 minutes. Rx to PT. Never said what X Ray(s) showed. I guess Time is money.

very professional

Dr. Shanti has a great bed side manner, he's caring and explains options and procedures thoroughly.

Immediate plan laid out and begun. Very confident and knowledgeable.

Best doctor I've ever seen!

very satisfied!!!!!

Dr. Shanti was thorough, and advised me of what was needed. He explained all the options.

Dr Shanti is an incredible physician always

I like Dr. Shanti but I felt a little rushed and felt he didn't spend much time with me.

Dr. Shanti listened attentively to me as I gave history and current details of my problem.

I have been on and off of Dr. Shanti's care for the last 5 years do to 2 car accidents. In November 2018 Dr. Shanti performed spinal fusion surgery (C4/5 & C5/6) and I couldn't be more happy with the results. I now have no limitations and no pain.

Best people skills and clear communication.

Very pleasant, patient, knowledgeable and professional. Dr. Shanti listened to my concerns!

He and his staff seem more concerned with payment before they actually treat you. I came in with severe lower back pain including my legs and hips. I was told an MRI is better to determine my issue but I have to go through PT first.

I could not ask for a better doctor. Highly recommended!

Very pleased with Dr Shanti

Honest dr with my best interest at heart.

Great visit

understanding and takes time to explain and hear my thoughts

Dr. Shanti is a very kind, caring doctor/surgeon. He knows his surgical field very well and is an excellent surgeon!

Dr. Shanti is the best - wonderful “bedside” manner and honest - I would recommend him to anyone!

Very nice but felt rushed

Helped me to understand underlying issue. Listened to my concerns.

Attentive, caring and easy to talk to

Dr Shanti didn't do a proper exam, spent at most 5 mins from moment entering room until leaving Never explained issues for the needed appt. He did repeatedly state he has to follow insurance companies recommendation! Says he only cares about $ not

Dr Shanti is an incredibly knowledgeable, kind doctor who always listens and takes his time with you.

First visit. Very pleasant, very knowledgeable. Explained what he wanted to do next, and why.

Thorough easy to understand

Excellent Dr

Dr. Shanti is a excellent professional, he provides the best care for my condition.

Thorough!

Dr. Shanti was extremely thorough. I was very pleased with the entire visit. In the past, I’ve visited other Orthopaedic doctors and felt dismissed....hurrying me along to get to the next patient. Not so with Cary Orthopaedic. Highly recommend!

Great advice and sensitivity to patient’s needs.

Interaction style is awesome! Felt slightly rushed due to patient volume but otherwise a big thumbs up.

Very kind. Took time to listen. Knowledgeable.

Warm bedside manner. Thoughtful answers. Open to future questions.At no time did I feel rushed. Given a full picture of what to expect, one way or the other.

Very helpful, great listener

Dr. Shanti provided a comprehensive assessment and review of my complex medical condition. He ordered needed diagnostics and was willing to appeal insurance denials if necessary. Thank you, Dr. Shanti!

Diagnosis was done in jiffy, it seemed that he was over occupied. He didn’t seem interested in figuring out the root cause and according provide the treatment plan.

Prompt and attentive

Willing to listen and explains your options.

I have a great deal of confidences in. The dr. A great experience

Excellent as usual!

Thorough exam, I felt he really heard what I had to say. Both Dr's agree on the course of treatment. Very impressed.

Your star system is very confusing. Does the 1 or 5 rating start on the right or left.

He is always so nice and caring. Went out of his way to help me with required VA documents, which Idint imagine many doctors would necessarily care to do, but he knew it was important to me and my follow on care. Thank you so much Dr. Shanti!!!

Professional and Knowledgeable

Dr Shanti is a no nonsense Spine Orthopedic Surgeon, expect nothing but the best from him and his staff (Including Physical Therapy). Dr Shanti recently performed a 2 level cervical spine surgery and had no pain after a month and more range of motio

Wonderful experience! Dr. Shanti is awesome - thorough and easy to talk to. Answered all my questions. Started with least invasive option first, PT, and it turned out to be all I needed! I am now 100% pain-free! Highly recommend!!

He was thorough and knowledgeable.

Very friendly and very professional.

I have great confidence in Dr. Shanti and he explains things very well.

Dr Shanti is great, and very personable. He has done a great job on my back, and I am very happy to have him as my surgeon. He has even made himself available for questions of possible problems after surgery, after hours, and weekends.

He doesn't volunteer a lot of information but he takes the time to fully answer all of your questions. He is very honest and will not recommend surgery if there's any doubt that it will help. He will guide you through all non-operative options first.

Quick to diagnose. Quick to offer PT and a cortisone shot. Yuck on the shot.

Dr. Shanti spoke in terms I could understand and covered the potential for future post PT activities.

Extremely pleasant and considerate. Explained my diagnosis in layman’s terms so we can understand. Working with me patiently to get better with the option for surgery well explained. Very attentive . Overall a super person and professional.

Very caring and responsive. Honest about what can be done and what can't be done.

Polite, thorough and professional.

Always friendly, listens to me and explains what is going on and my options.

Caring, compassionate and always listens to the patients concerns. He takes the time needed to help and evaluate . I will continue to have Dr. Shanti treat me as long as needed.
